The Vamos Ecosystem has been a part of the groundbreaking Mixed Fleet project for a year, and this spring will bring exciting demonstrations. Stay tuned and follow our channels for the latest updates.
The Mixed Fleet project enhances collaboration between machines and humans, accelerating the utilization of automation and boosting productivity. Companies can rapidly expand their automation offerings, being among the first in various product categories, as the most difficult to automate tasks are handled by humans. Utilizing automation reduces emissions, improves quality, enhances safety, and addresses labor availability challenges.
The Mixed Fleet project is related to lifting equipment manufacturer Konecranes’ Zero4 program, which focuses on digitizing material flow management. The project’s corporate partners include Mitsubishi Logisnext Europe, a provider of high-tech logistics solutions such as forklifts and automation systems, Navitec Systems, a software and service provider specializing in navigation, vehicle control, and fleet management, as well as Atostek, a software company specializing in robotics, among others. Research institutions involved in the project are the Tampere University and VTT.
The three-year joint project is funded by Business Finland, as well as companies and research institutions. The pilot implementation of the project will take place at Konecranes’ factory in Hyvinkää, Logisnext’s demo center in Järvenpää, and with the assistance of Kalmar in demanding outdoor conditions at the Kouvola rail terminal. Elisa IndustrIQ contributes expertise in operations control to the project. The project has been prepared based on shared future visions of member companies of FIMA and the VAMOS Ecosystem for Autonomous Mobility and Smart Spaces.
