The logistics provider is using the AI-empowered robots to move vehicles around its vehicle distribution compound at Nanteuil-le-Haudouin, France.
Two robots provided by Stanley Robotics will be tasked with moving and parking used cars on around 100 dedicated parking spaces during the pilot trial. They will then remove vehicles on command and make them available in lines for an operator to load onto car carrier trucks.
The point is to establish if the robots are compatible with Gefco’s vehicle logistics processes at its compounds. Accordingly, several different examinations using various scenarios on a large number of cars will be carried out. They will take place in a zone dedicated to robots and closed to non-authorised personnel to comply with safety standards.
