Smart Logistics at the Depot
Smart Logistics at the Depot
ZF's approach is to organize the processes within the depot more simply, reliably and safely using autonomous driving – making them more cost-effective as a result. ZF's "Smart Logistics" concept is focused primarily on two vehicles, the ZF Innovation Truck and maneuvering Terminal Yard Tractor, which are able to complete a large number of maneuvers without a driver. The Innovation Truck is able to find its target position in the depot completely unaided, sets down its swap body and picks up another. Threading precisely backwards under a swap body demands a great deal of practice and concentration even from experienced truckers. More often than not, property gets damaged. The ZF Innovation Truck is able to perform this with absolute precision at the same speed every time and with the utmost safety, while the driver takes a break.
