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.

Demo Our Fleet Management System

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.
