Autonomous DriveMod Tugger

Autonomously & Safely Tug Up To 12,000 lbs.

Deploy a fully autonomous tugger train to automate repetitive hauling, drive your manufacturing forward, and get more done per shift with our robust and reliable self-driving tuggers.

With DriveMod, Your Tuggers —

Autonomously haul and tow thousands of pounds of heavy goods — indoors or out.

Leverage multiple, redundant, and intelligent layers of safety.

Can be remotely managed and monitored via the FMS or on-vehicle display.

Execute missions based on a variety of flexible, programmable skills — including "auto-unhitch".

Safely navigate sites without the need for special infrastructure.

Can be switched into manual mode and driven by a human.

Autonomous DriveMod Tugger

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. Our DriveMod Tugger does not require special infrastructure or the installation of magnetic strips, meaning a quicker and more efficient deployment.

"DriveMod turns every shift into a productivity powerhouse. On average, companies that use DriveMod Tuggers have seen a 33% increase in productivity and a 64% reduction in labor costs."

Collision Avoidance System

We offer multiple layers of safety. Virtual bumper doubles the number of safety systems, and our 3D lidar brings 360° visibility and vigilance to obstructions.

Safety Lights & Audio Cues

Color-coded LEDs communicate vehicle status and intent. Audible cues like beeps and horn honks indicate when the vehicle is turning, departing, or arriving at a stop.

Emergency Stop Buttons

While we enable you to program and control the vehicle remotely, our units come equipped with multiple E-Stop buttons to instantly bring it to a halt.

Autonomous Fleet Management System

Deploy Missions at the Touch of a Button

We enable multiple ways to direct and orchestrate your DriveMod fleet, allowing you to manage, monitor, and command your vehicles from anywhere.

Demo Our Fleet Management System

On-Vehicle Display

The most common way to control the vehicle is from the vehicle itself. Our on-vehicle display enables teams to send vehicles to other stations, wait for work to get done, and switch into manual mode.

Fleet Management System

Operators can access advanced mission planning and workflow management capabilities from the cloud-based FMS.

Facility-Wide Tablets

Finally, you can set up tablets throughout your facility that work just like elevator buttons. Workers can press the "Call Vehicle" button and the vehicle will arrive in short order.
