“Robotics and industrial automation continue to transform how companies do business, boosting efficiency and reducing expenses, and yard movement is an area where many organizations can enhance operations by embracing autonomous solutions,” said Joe Foster, Vice President of Robotics, Holman.
“Our partnership with ISEE, along with Holman’s strategic investment in the company, reflects our confidence in the future of autonomous yard operations and our commitment to helping customers accelerate adoption of proven automation technology.
Retrofitting Existing Yard Trucks for Autonomous Operations A key component of the partnership is the ability to retrofit existing yard vehicles with ISEE's autonomous driving technology rather than requiring businesses to purchase replacement equipment.
The approach is intended to address several challenges associated with adopting autonomous yard equipment, including upfront costs, technical integration, and managing multiple vendors.
ISEE's autonomous driving technology is designed for congested, mixed-traffic environments where yard trucks operate alongside other vehicles, equipment, and workers.
