AUTOMATED VEHICLE MARSHALLING

WE OFFER END-TO-END SOLUTIONS TO AUTOMATE PASSENGER VEHICLE FLEETS.
Our current focus is on applications in FACTORY GROUNDS, PROVING GROUNDS & VEHICLE LOGISTIC YARDS.

Embotech provides turnkey solutions for Automated Vehicle Marshalling (AVM) and Automated Valet Parking (AVP), enabling autonomous vehicle movement within car factories and parking facilities. The vehicles only need two key functionalities: drive-by-wire technology and connectivity (LTE or WiFi).

At the heart of Embotech’s solution lie PRODRIVER and PROFLEET that intelligently, safely, smoothly, and efficiently maneuver vehicles in real time. The system is also capable of coordinating multiple vehicles simultaneously and it is designed to meet the health & safety requirements of the relevant EU and US directives.

Factory Grounds

Embotech offers cutting-edge technologies for automating car production plants. Production efficiency is one of the core competitive advantages of any OEM. We are automating the last missing piece of the vehicle production jigsaw: driving the cars off the assembly line and into the logistics area, where cars are loaded on trucks and trains.

Next-generation vehicles can be made fully autonomous within facilities that are equipped with V2X communication and infrastructure sensing technology, without requiring any costly sensor or computer hardware on the vehicles themselves. Our AVM solution includes the ability of coordinating and controlling multiple vehicles simultaneously.

automated vehicle testing

Vehicle dynamic testing is routinely performed by OEMs for new prototypes and for production vehicles. Repeatability, accuracy, and driver’s feedback is essential. Our solution substitutes the obsolete driving robots that are currently used to perform such tests. Not having to use robots increase flexibility and reduces costs. 

All that is required is the vehicle to have drive-by-wire systems and a mean of localization e.g., GPS. Because testing is performed in a controlled environment, ISO26262 ASIL B would be an acceptable level of certification goal. We are currently testing this product with a German automotive OEM.

AUTOMATED VALET PARKING (AVP)

Automated Valet Parking eliminates the time-consuming search for a free parking spot, as well as the need to find the vehicle later on. The vehicle is dropped off and collected at the appointed time in a designated area. The car park operators can use valuable parking space more efficiently because the unmanned vehicles can be parked much closer together. In addition, they can offer other automated services like EV-charging and car wash.

One essential feature of our tech solution is the ability of coordinating and controlling multiple vehicles simultaneously. The software is designed to run in the cloud or a local server and is delivered with a graphical user interface, where an operator can monitor and have a high-level control such as the ability to assign destinations, open/close certain areas and start/stop vehicles.

Automated Valet Parking was shown at the IAA Mobility 2021 in collaboration with VALEO and NTT DATA.
