Fernride expands with DB Schenker and starts autonomous yard logistics in Tilburg
The logistics service provider DB Schenker is investing in the startup Fernride, a platform for autonomous logistics, and is immediately launching a pilot project for highly automated and electric yard logistics in Tilburg, Netherlands. A teleoperated truck will be integrated into the daily operations of a warehouse. Fernride's teleoperation-first approach supports the integration of autonomous technologies into DB Schenker's logistics.
Schenker Ventures Invests
According to Fernride, the gradual autonomy approach combines the benefits of human skills and automation in a concept that provides immediate tangible value. Since the system is already in use by renowned customers today, Fernride has a variety of datasets that pertain to operations in logistics hubs and edge cases. The solution via teleoperation can be developed in a customer-oriented and individualized manner, while gradually adding autonomous functions to improve the economic efficiency of individual application areas.
"Fernride's competitive advantage in the autonomous driving market lies in its current availability. However, it is more than just a bridging technology. The excellent performance of teleoperation enables the application of autonomous technologies in logistics by solving technological, legal, and safety challenges," says Paulina Banszerus, Head of Venture Capital at Schenker Ventures.
In addition to capital, Schenker Ventures also provides the new portfolio company with access to the resources of the parent company.
Teleoperated Truck in Operation in Tilburg
The pilot project is being launched to assess the operational safety of the technology and jointly validate future business opportunities, according to the press release. A remotely controlled truck will be integrated into the daily operations of one of Europe's most modern distribution centers. The remote control of the trucks can increase the flexibility and safety of the drivers' workplace.
"DB Schenker is a leader in the industry in promoting innovation, sustainability, and automation. We are not only excited about the pilot project, but also about further joint business opportunities in the future. This partnership will allow us to quickly scale autonomous, electric truck traffic together," said Hendrik Kramer, CEO of Fernride.
"The partnership with Fernride will help us understand the overall requirements to set our distribution centers to a high level of automation. The young company is changing the way we operate our hubs today by redefining the role of drivers and empowering them instead of hindering them. We look forward to working with the great team at FERNRIDE. It is an excellent opportunity to learn from each other," said Sebastian Schuhmann, Head of the Global Innovation Portfolio at DB Schenker.
Remotely Controlled
Fernride equips electric trucks with various sensors and cameras. By combining the human capabilities of truck drivers with mature and marketable autonomous technologies, teleoperation – that is, the remote control of automated or manual vehicles over the mobile network – represents the first step towards full autonomy. It enables human intervention and assistance of the vehicle from a distance. This means that truck drivers can sit at their desks hundreds of kilometers away and control the trucks remotely. A teleoperator sends precise commands to the vehicle in real-time from a workstation using the accelerator, brake, steering wheel, and joystick, and receives all important data from the vehicle at the same speed – just as drivers in a truck cabin do today. This allows Fernride, among other things, to successfully integrate automated trailer-shunting into ongoing operations.
