Automate Your Material Handling

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

We've partnered with Motrec, a trusted industrial vehicle manufacture, to integrate our DriveMod Kit into their fleet of heavy-duty tuggers to transform them into intelligent self-driving robots. This makes our autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) familiar to operate and a breeze to maintain.
