Automate Your Forklift Workflows

DriveMod Forklifts never take a vacation, don't make human errors, and always get the job done.

We've partnered with BYD, a leading global EV brand, to integrate our DriveMod Kit into their fleet of heavy-duty forklifts to transform them into intelligent self-driving robots. Our DriveMod Forklift does not require special infrastructure or the installation of magnetic strips, meaning a quicker and more efficient deployment.

Customer Case Study & DriveMod Forklift Use Case

For Arauco, Cyngn's DriveMod Forklift was the Only Option

When Arauco was looking to automate the production of their line of wood products, they turned to Cyngn. The DriveMod Forklift enabled the global manufacturer to transport large, heavy wood bundles on non-standardized pallets, a challenge that existing industrial automation solutions had previously been unable to meet.

The DriveMod Forklift Passes the Forklift Test

Uniquely positioned to serve the wood, paper, and forestry industry.

Before forklift drivers can start at Arauco, they have to pass the Forklift test. The Forklift test requires drivers to stack, move, and restack 12 pallets within 2 minutes. Cyngn's autonomous forklift was able to do this easily, ensuring that Arauco would be able to deploy autonomous missions without falling behind.

Autonomous Fleet Management System

Deploy Missions at the Touch of a Button

We enable multiple ways to direct and orchestrate your DriveMod fleet, allowing you to manage, monitor, and command your vehicles from anywhere.

On-Vehicle Display

The most common way to control the vehicle is from the vehicle itself. Our on-vehicle display enables teams to send vehicles to other stations, wait for work to get done, and switch into manual mode.

Fleet Management System

Operators can access advanced mission planning and workflow management capabilities from the cloud-based FMS.

Facility-Wide Tablets

Finally, you can set up tablets throughout your facility that work just like elevator buttons. Workers can press the "Call Vehicle" button and the vehicle will arrive in short order.
