WE OFFER TURNKEY SOLUTIONS TO AUTOMATE PASSENGER VEHICLE DRIVING
IN FACTORY GROUNDS, VEHICLE LOGISTIC YARDS & PROVING GROUNDS.
Powering the AVM solution at its core is Embotech’s automation technology platform that intelligently, safely, smoothly, and efficiently maneuvers vehicles in real time. Both systems are infrastructure based in terms of sensing and compute, require minimum intervention on the vehicle side and can coordinate multiple vehicles simultaneously.
Automated Vehicle Marshalling (AVM)
How?
Our AVM solution uses smart infrastructure to automate vehicle operation. This innovative approach minimizes the requirements on the vehicle itself, allowing us to control almost any standard production car.
THE FIRST CE MARKED AVM SYSTEM
COMPLIANT WITH
ALL RELEVANT SAFETY STANDARDS
FOR AUTOMATED DRIVING WITHIN FACTORY GROUNDS AND VEHICLE LOGISTIC CENTERS – CERTIFIED BY TÜV SÜD.

Why it matters? The Impact of AVM
Current methods of manually driving vehicles through different stations of the production is costly and inefficient. AVM offers a range of advantages
Cost Reduction
Saves 1/2 of the driver’s costs & eliminates damages.
Replaces traditional conveyors.
Efficiency Improvement
Minimizes driver and vehicle travel times.
Eliminates human error, e.g. misplacement of vehicles.
Production Flexibility
Adapts to changing layouts, growing volumes and new use cases.
Time-to-market of new models/variants.
Use cases
Our solution covers all use cases to be found in automotive factories: Conveyor belt exit, Wheel Alignment, Body & Paint Inspection, Squeak and Rattle, Engine Test, Sensor Calibration, Drive to Logistics.

Why it matters? The Impact of Automated Vehicle Testing
OEMs routinely perform vehicle dynamic testing for new prototypes and production vehicles. Repeatability, accuracy, and driver’s feedback is essential. Up to now, this costly and manual process is still relying on professional drivers or costly testing robots. Our solution substitutes the obsolete driving robots that are currently used to perform such tests, offering greater flexibility and lower costs.
Cost Reduction
Saves the costs for professional drivers and specialized robots which are used for vehicle testing.
Efficiency Improvement
Minimizes efficiency losses – vehicle preparation with robots, availability of professional drivers.
Eliminates human error.
Testing Flexibility
Adapts to changing testing needs depending on the development phase.
Usable for all kinds of testing, from endurance to dynamic testing at any time.
