autonomous driving Logistics Support Service - Smart City/Mobility -Macnica

Mobility Autonomous Solution

With the evolution of technology, mechanization and automation are progressing at manufacturing sites, distribution centers, plants, etc., and production efficiency in each process is improving day by day. However, the efficiency of transportation, such as the transportation of materials necessary for production and the transportation of finished products and goods, is still an issue. Things that need to be transported have a wide range of sizes and weights, and it is necessary to flexibly respond to transportation methods and transportation routes, such as changing the layout of the production line and linking with different vehicles. Therefore, we provide support for building automatic transport solutions according to the customer's application and environment.

Autonomous vehicle building integration service

Depending on the location and application where logistics is needed, the appropriate vehicle, sensor configuration, autonomous driving algorithm, etc. for automated driving will vary. Macnica The engineering team at Mazda Motor Corporation will propose the optimal system configuration for your use case and assist you in building the vehicle.

Self-driving towing tractor

Towing tractors are used to transport relatively heavy materials and cargo in factories and airports. Towing tractors on the premises often have a set route, and the loading location of cargo is often relatively fixed, which is a use case in which an autonomous system can be effectively utilized. The automatic towing tractor provided by our partner has a maximum pulling force of 25t and can run at a maximum speed (during autonomous driving) of 20km/H.

Infrastructure-controlled vehicle transport system

In Japan, about 40,000 vehicles are produced every day. The produced vehicles are placed in the motor pool until they are shipped. In general, after completing the inspection of the completed vehicle, the moving staff drives the actual vehicle to the designated location and moves the vehicle. Although it depends on the scale of each factory, it is one of the reasons why efficiency is required here because many mobile staff are doing it by human wave tactics. “Control Tower”, an infrastructure-controlled vehicle transport system provided by Seoul Robotics, is a system that controls the vehicle from the factory infrastructure side and drives it to a specified location without installing any special equipment on the vehicle side. .

Motor pool work efficiency improvement

Transportation of the vehicle to the motor pool is generally done by the driver. A car manufacturer transports about 1 km, and one driver moves 80-100 vehicles per day. Naturally, after the driver moves the completed vehicle to the motor pool, he returns to the final vehicle proving ground to transport the next vehicle, using a vehicle dedicated to driver movement. By automating this vehicle, efficiency can be improved at the vehicle transportation site.
