Driverless Truck in a Dairy Factory

Driverless truck for internal transports in a dairy factory

Lehrte, November 9th 2012 — The complexity and speed of cargo transportation is rising steadily -- the challenge is now to face this fact by increasing both safety and efficiency in cargo turnover. The driverless truck by Götting enables a fully automated transportation of goods at Heideblume Molkerei Elsdorf-Rotenburg AG

  • Driverless operation enabled through a micro-controller-based guiding system with sensor fusion.
  • The truck is guided by a Götting transponder system, with RFID tags embedded in the surface of the defined lane.
  • Steering encoders and wheel encoders enable forward and reverse operation.
  • Exact reverse docking with the aid of an implemented laser scanner -- targeting a reflector at the docking station.
  • Loading/unloading of pallets by using fully automated roller conveyors.
  • Exact route planning and slow speed in areas frequented by people guarantees a safe and reliable operation.
  • A 24/7 smooth transportation protecting truck and cargo.
  • Safety edges around the truck ensure secure operation.
  • Emergency push-buttons for sudden stops on four sides of the truck.
  • Laser scanners on each side controlling the surrounding area -- protection of people, truck and cargo.
  • Laser scanner forwarding signal obstacles on the lane to the internal control unit -- smooth stop of the truck. Self-acknowledge function included.
  • Easy change between automatic and manual operation or driver assistance at any time.

Developing innovative solutions for recent challenges is one of the major skills of Götting. The Götting vehicle keeps on moving your goods 24 hours a day.
