Milk run (indoor/outdoor)

Autonomous towing supports high-frequency, scheduled material flows between production areas, warehouses, and waste or dunnage zones. Known as "milk runs," these operations involve repeating missions across multiple stations, often in time-critical environments. They may span indoor, outdoor, or mixed-path layouts, with long distances, high daily mileage, and frequent interactions with gates or railway crossings.

Auto-hooking capability allows the loading and unloading of trailers to be decoupled from the movement itself, improving flow efficiency and enabling continuous operations. These applications include line feeding, component delivery, and internal waste transport, where precision and reliability are essential for supporting manufacturing processes.

 

Suitable for:

• Repeating material transport loops across production and logistics areas.
• Indoor/outdoor mixed environments, including interactions with gates and infrastructure.
• High-frequency, high-mileage tasks requiring consistent cycle timing.
• Operations that benefit from auto-hooking to streamline trailer handling.
• Use cases such as line feeding, waste removal, or empty container return.
