AUTOMATION,
STARTING TODAY
PROCESS
From a route study to actual operation, introduction of the system is quick and smooth.
STEP 1
Meeting and route study
Although the route can be easily changed after the system is introduced, at this point, we will identify issues and concerns that may arise during the operation of the system and propose countermeasures based on past experience.
STEP 2
3D scanning
We will create a 3D map by scanning and measuring the customer’s environment. No special preparation is required. We will design a route based on the results of on-site measurements and interviews with the customer.
STEP 3
Testing and adjustment
The route, stopping positions, etc., can be changed based on the actual operating conditions. We can respond to any circumstances that have changed or were omitted during the study phase.
STEP 4
Full-scale operation
Training sessions on operating the system are available upon request. We can also take care of maintenance after the start of service.
Our professional staff will
guide you through an
implementation plan tailored
to your needs.

WE OFFER DIFFERENT PLANS TO
GAIN PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE.
TOUR
You can visit a factory (Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture) where eve auto has been introduced, allowing you to see the implementation of a customer’s concept as well as a real-life transport environment in a way that the PR video does not show.

TRIAL
We offer a light plan that allows you to easily try out the system before a full-scale introduction.
After one day of measurement and one day of trial operation, a one-day autonomous operation demo is available.
The map data created from the measurements for the demo can be used as-is for a full-scale launch.
