Croatian robotics and AI solutions company Gideon has unveiled its autonomous forklift for truck trailer loading and unloading operations, named Trey.
Designed to loads and unloads pallets entirely autonomously, Trey could save more than 80% of a worker’s time. It is also built to operate safely, consistently, and reliably in dynamic environments, working side by side with people.
“We at Gideon believe that we can help exponentially grow humanity’s ability to move goods by automating the most complex material handling workflows,” said Matija Kopić, Gideon CEO and co-founder.
“The world needs new ways of solving challenges. Our new way is to give superpowers to the millions of essential workers who keep our supply chains running. With the help of our customers, partners, and investors, we’ve built an AMR specifically for the task of loading and unloading truck trailers, augmenting human talent.”
The new trailer (un)loading solution combines Gideon’s proprietary autonomy technology powered by AI and 3D vision, user-friendly software for smart workflow orchestration, and a robust, purpose-made chassis by Infinity Machine & Engineering Corp.
Gideon added Trey will helps companies relieve labour shortages, increase throughput, and raise process stability and efficiency. It increases loading dock safety, reducing incidents and damages.
Additionally, due to the flexibility and adaptability of Gideon’s technology, Trey is easy to use, deploy, and scale, with minimal impact on existing infrastructure, further improving the bottom line.
Annant Patel, director at Koch Disruptive Technologies, an investment unit of Koch Industries, and Gideon board member, added: “The new solution from Gideon brings us an exciting potential for optimisation, creating new efficiencies, and new ways to work.
“As new technologies become available, the supply chain challenges act as a catalyst to spur companies to innovate – Gideon being one of them. We may face uncertainties, but innovators like Gideon prove that the future is here and now.”
