Valmet Automotive is trialling an automated parking technology for finished vehicles provided by tech firm Unikie at its contract assembly plant in Uusikaupunki, Finland
Finnish technology company Unikie has teamed up with tier one supplier and contract manufacturer Valmet Automotive to deploy an automated parking system at Valmet’s assembly plant in Uusikaupunki.
Valmet has been running tests with Unikie for the autonomous movement of finished vehicles from the assembly plant to the pick-up point for outbound delivery using infrastructure only. The vehicles do not require autonomous capabilities or sensors themselves, just the ability to steer, change gears, accelerate and brake.
