The robotics company Magazino and MAN launched a joint pilot project with the SOTO robot. The mobile robot SOTO automates the material supply between the warehouse and the assembly line, by handling and transporting small load carriers (KLT) completely autonomously. The pilot operation started at the Nuremberg site in the engine production for trucks and offers both sides the opportunity to gain experience with the robot for a future live operation.
MAN and Magazino have had a close development partnership in recent years. Among other things, Hard- and Software-, as well as environment requirements for a live operation in an Industrial Plant were defined. The pilot project is now scheduled to run for around one year and lays the foundation for implementing an entire fleet of SOTO robots next year.
