The award was given for the development of an innovative automated guided vehicle (AGV) specially designed for the internal transport of semi-trailers more than 13 metres long and weighing up to 11 tonnes. This technological solution marks a significant advance in industrial automation. It increases production capacity, improves ergonomics and safety in the workplace, and enables comprehensive digitalisation of the process through real-time statistics and incident analyses.
"We are delighted to receive this recognition. It underlines our commitment to innovation, efficiency and safety in the industry. Our thanks go not only to the CAAR, but above all to our highly motivated production team, who made this achievement possible," says Jordi Romero, Managing Director of Schmitz Cargobull Ibérica.
Schmitz Cargobull is consistently pursuing its path of digital transformation and operational excellence. The international production network with production sites in Germany, Lithuania, Spain, the UK and Turkey, enables responsive, efficient production with short delivery times, close to the customer.
