ENABLING OUTDOOR
AUTONOMOUS LOGISTICS

eve auto – A service solving labor
shortages and addressing labor
environment challenges through
outdoor transport automation, a
task unachievable with conventional
AGVs.

In response to labor shortages and the need for operational efficiency in factories and logistics facilities, automation systems such as AGVs and AMRs have become prevalent indoors. However, outdoor transportation between buildings remains a challenging area for automation, often relying on manual labor.

eve auto addresses this challenge by combining the robust traction of EV golf carts with the globally-utilized autonomous driving software, Autoware. This fusion enables us to offer “eve auto”, a safe and efficient unmanned transportation service for outdoor environments. We provide a new solution for logistics operations, supporting our customers in overcoming their logistical challenges.

eve auto excels not only in factories
and logistics facilities but also
across a wide range of industries
and locations.

eve auto initially began as an outdoor unmanned transportation service within factory premises. However, its operational scope has expanded beyond factories to include logistics facilities, energy and chemical plants, and it is poised to extend its presence to airports and entertainment venues in the future. As long as there is a demand for outdoor unmanned transportation, eve auto is expected to thrive in various industries and locations.

Installation support service to enables
quick start from as little as one week.

When introducing an unmanned transport system, we carefully support our customers by confirming their environment and requirements, assisting with route studies, creating maps for automated operation, and providing installation testing and training in the use of eve auto.

eve auto installation process

STEP 1Discussion &
Route design

Discuss the goals of introducing eve auto and the work schedule, etc. Then, create a “route design document” for the route where customer wants to perform automatic conveyance.

STEP 2Map data scanning &
Manual measurement

Acquire data for mapping the driving area while driving the vehicle manually. Measures the driving lanes, stop positions, pedestrians, vehicles, and other areas that require special detection.

STEP 33D map creation &
Simulation

From the acquired data, a point cloud map and a vector map defining traffic rules are created. After creation, the simulator is used to check if automatic operation is possible without any problems.

STEP 4On-site driving test &
Operation lecture

Delivery of the actual vehicle to the site, driving test and final adjustment to suit the site, and handover of the vehicle. Finally, provide the necessary training for the customer, including basic operation and error handling.
