CARGOTEC公司旗下Kalmar公司與Coast Autonomous Inc.簽署了一項聯合開發協議，以加快移動設備機器人解決方案的開發和推出。為了強調兩家公司合作夥伴關係的共同長期利益，卡爾瑪已成為Coast Autonomous的少數股東。聯合開發協議和對Coast Autonomous的投資是在卡爾瑪機器人產品組合(Kalmar Robotic Portfolio)的引入之後達成的，這是未來一係列智能、靈活和自主的移動設備解決方案，旨在提高港口和碼頭、配送中心和重型物流中的貨物和物料裝卸的安全性、生態效率和生產力。Coast Autonomous是一家位於美國加利福尼亞州的自動駕駛技術初創公司，為城市和工業環境中的人員和貨物運輸提供移動解決方案。Coast Autonomous開發了一套專有的自動駕駛汽車係統，包括測繪和定位、機器人和人工智能、車隊管理和監督。在初始階段，卡爾瑪和Coast Autonomous的合作將專注於卡爾瑪RoboTractor的自動駕駛功能，這是一種自動終端拖拉機。卡爾瑪技術副總裁Lasse Eriksson:“卡爾瑪與Coast Autonomous的合作突顯了我們行業合作的重要性，尤其是在機器人領域。Coast獨特的技術解決了各個層麵的安全問題，以及在自動駕駛解決方案方麵的廣泛經驗，為我們提供了一個很好的機會來加速機器人化之旅和卡爾瑪機器人產品組合的推出。由於安全是我們在卡爾瑪所做一切事情的關鍵標準，我們很高興與Coast合作，並有機會整合他們的安全自動駕駛解決方案，使未來在混合交通環境中實現自動駕駛。”Coast Autonomous總裁兼首席財務官Adrian Sussmann:“二十多年來，我們的技術人員一直專注於為行人和工業環境開發安全的自動駕駛汽車係統。 The collaboration with Kalmar is the perfect application for our technology and we are excited to integrate our robotic solutions into their best-in-class vehicles, bringing improved safety and efficiency to the market. To work with the market leading OEM in ports and terminal operations is an amazing opportunity and a wonderful endorsement of our unique approach. We are at the dawn of a new era in robotics and the partnership with Kalmar validates our belief that safe autonomous vehicles will proliferate rapidly in industrial settings providing tremendous benefit and value for all.” Further information for the press: Lasse Eriksson, Vice President, Technology, Kalmar, lasse.eriksson@kalmarglobal.com Maija Eklöf, Vice President, Marketing and Communications, Kalmar, tel. +358 20 777 4096, maija.eklof@kalmarglobal.com Kalmar offers the widest range of cargo handling solutions and services to ports, terminals, distribution centres and to heavy industry.
