DB Schenker uses remote-controlled forklifts
Forklifts are now being operated remotely at DB Schenker’s Contract Logistics site in Kassel, Germany. The drivers control the vehicles from a distance. With a remote driving setup, drivers are connected to several different vehicles at different locations via the enabl platform.
Remote-controlled driving has the potential to increase efficiency and eliminate staff shortages by separating the driver from the forklift. DB Schenker is continuing its collaboration with enabl Technologies to increase the automation of its logistics processes. A Letter of Intent describing the long-term collaboration to scale enabl’s advanced remote control and automation technology for forklifts at several DB Schenker international locations was recently signed.
