Breaking: John Deere Adds Cyngn as Supply Partner

Autonomous DriveMod Tugger

Autonomously & Safely Haul Up To 12,000 lbs.

Deploy a fully autonomous tugger train to automate repetitive hauling and increase your throughput for less cost. Our robust and reliable tuggers make intelligent, real-time decisions while integrating with your WMS for seamless mission deployment.

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 manufacturer, to integrate DriveMod into their fleet of heavy-duty tuggers to transform them into intelligent self-driving robots. This makes our AMRs familiar to operate and a breeze to maintain.

Cyngn’s AMRs really unlocks the potential for us to increase throughput and decrease time to market from the manufacturing floor. Their vehicles enable us to concentrate on efficiency and we’re really excited to increase profitability, improve our service levels, and get to market faster than our competitors.

The self-driving tugger from Cyngn was the perfect solution to support our strategy of advancing automation and incorporating scalable technology seamlessly into our operations. With its high load capacity, we can concentrate on increasing our ability to manage heavier components and bulk orders, driving greater efficiency, reducing costs, and accelerating delivery timelines.

The bottom line is DriveMod has made us more productive. Instead of manually moving goods through the warehouse, our team can stay focused on picking, packing, and other high-value assignments.

Emergency Stop & Manual Override

DriveMod Tuggers are fitted with emergency stop buttons for immediate shutdown and when you need it, simply switch to manual mode for total flexibility.

Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) vs Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV)

Key Difference Between AMRs & AGVs is Technological Sophistication

There is a broad spectrum of sophistication within the autonomous vehicle market and it's important to understand the differences. AMR technology represents an evolution in mobile robotics which is why Cyngn's vehicles are more flexible and intelligent than traditional AGVs.

	Cyngn AMRs	AGVs
Guidance System Can navigate autonomously and does not require installation of special infrastructure or physical guides (e.g., magnetic tape).	yes	no
Flexibility Is highly flexible to adapt to changes in the environment like altering the route and stop points.	yes	no
Implementation Can be deployed quickly and programmed for new routes or tasks without extensive changes.	yes	no
Safety Equipped with multiple redundant sensors to enable safe collaborative work alongside humans without physical barriers to separate work zones.	yes	no
