Since fully autonomous logistics vehicles are still too far away from practical use, Fernride<\/a> The startup intends to bridge the gap until then by combining existing autonomous technology with human teleoperators. Human personnel will take over remote control of the semi-autonomous vehicles in situations where AI reaches its limits. To this end, the Munich-based company equips the vehicles with the necessary technology and connects them to its teleoperations center. Teleoperators will sit at a computer workstation modeled on a vehicle cockpit and intervene in critical moments. In the medium term, one teleoperator will be able to support fleets of up to 50 autonomous vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fernride's approach aims to combine the advantages of human capabilities and automation in a concept that delivers immediate, tangible added value while gradually increasing autonomy. The teleoperation solution can be developed in a customer-centric and customized manner, while autonomous functions are gradually added to improve the economic viability of individual application areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMore than just a bridging technology\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Paulina Banszerus<\/strong>, Head of Venture Capital at Schenker Ventures<\/a>, says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

"Fernride's competitive advantage in the autonomous driving market lies in its current operational readiness. However, it is more than just a bridging technology. The excellent performance of teleoperation enables the application of autonomous technologies in logistics by solving technological, legal, and safety challenges."<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the investment \u2013 the amount of which is undisclosed \u2013 Schenker Ventures also intends to provide Fernride with access to the parent company's resources and implement the collaboration in a concrete pilot project. This joint project, located at a warehouse in the Netherlands, will evaluate the operational reliability of the technology and explore future business opportunities. A remote-controlled truck will be integrated into the day-to-day operations of a distribution center. Remote control of the trucks can increase the flexibility of the drivers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

High level of automation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hendrik Kramer<\/strong>, CEO of Fernride, says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

"DB Schenker is an industry leader in driving innovation, sustainability, and automation. We are excited not only about this pilot project, but also about further joint business opportunities in the future. This partnership will enable us to rapidly scale autonomous, electric truck transport together."<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

And Sebastian Schuhmann<\/strong>, Head of the Global Innovation Portfolio at DB Schenker, adds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

"Partnering with Fernride will help us understand the overall requirements for adapting our logistics sites to a high level of automation. This young company is transforming the way we operate our hubs today by redefining the role of drivers and empowering them rather than hindering them. We look forward to working with the great team at Fernride. It's an excellent opportunity to learn from each other."<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
