Shinpei Kato, Founder and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Tier IV As we have received inquiries from many customers, not just in the manufacturing industry, we will work to further promote our business in order to meet those expectations." ![]() We have been able to create an automated transportation service that is easy-to-use for anyone. "It's a thing of the past that autonomous driving is deemed to be too difficult. High runnability that can perform in the rain. While leveraging each other's strengths, the three companies will provide automated transportation services that are easy for anyone to use under the concept of "Autonomous from today" that eve autonomy advocates. In addition to commercial service, it can also be used as a research and development platform for autonomous driving technology. The service can be used in various places, including manufacturing sites and factories where production lines are subject to significant changes, plants that have transportation needs over large sites, and distribution bases that require automation of transportation, including tackling slopes, travelling between buildings, etc. By introducing these types of autonomous transportation services, the company can expect to achieve more efficient operations in the factory while reducing the number of accidents caused by human errors. The company also provides fleet management system and after-sales support.ĭue to the growing needs for high-mix low-volume production and chronic labor shortages in logistics at monozukuri-manufacturing sites, it can be difficult to maintain high efficiency in production systems using conventional equipment and operations that assume the availability of workers. This service is offered as a subscription-type contract with the aim of eliminating the main initial introduction hurdles of high initial costs and extended implementation processes that often hinder the adoption of automation. *Autoware is a registered trademark of the Autoware Foundation The unit is capable of handling certain kinds of steps and slopes, and is resilient to changes in the weather and the surrounding environment, while also having a towing capacity of up to 1,500kg, or a loading capacity of up to 300kg. The project was developed by combining the technology of the open-source autonomous driving OS, Autoware, developed by Tier IV, and the highly reliable vehicle body development technology of Yamaha Motor. ![]() In line with this service rollout, the company has newly developed a compact EV with a view to mass production for autonomous transportation services. Based on feedback from operations at multiple factories, including Yamaha Motor's Hamakita Plant, this service has been developed to meet the autonomous transportation needs of customers who require running performance, traction and loading capacity. At the same time, eve autonomy (the company) is pleased to announce that it will accept pre-orders from today for the autonomous transportation service eve auto, which is in development for release next summer.Įve auto is an autonomous transport service developed to meet the needs of automated transport in confined spaces, including those required in indoor and outdoor environments. (Tokyo: 7272) announced today that Yamaha Motor and Tier IV (Headquarters: Nagoya, Aichi, President: Kazuya Takeda), and eve autonomy which was established in 2020 as a joint-venture company have newly developed an autonomous EV. ![]()
