DB Schenker operates remote-controlled forklifts  

DB Schenker has successfully completed the trial operation of remote-controlled forklifts at its contract logistics site in Kassel, Germany. Drivers can now control the vehicles from distance through a remote driving setup, pioneered by enabl Technologies. They are connected to several different vehicles at different locations via the enable platform. “The collaboration with enable allows us to react flexibly to fluctuations in demand and automate our processes to enhance productivity. We see this partnership with enabl Technologies as a valuable addition to our CL digitalization strategy, which will help us to secure our competitiveness in the long term.” Lucas Mömken, Vice President Global Engineering & Innovation in Contract Logistics, DB Schenker said.
