Our world is becoming increasingly more digital and with it the future of mobility. Not only do we have to build very good means of transport - we also need to integrate them intelligently into new digital living- and working environments. Therefore, smart technologies help us to make your manufacturing processes more efficient or your vehicle more comfortable and safe.
"Allow me, may I introduce myself? I am the future of mobility and working in the Smart City." The EDAG CityBot is a swarm intelligent, modular robot vehicle that can cover any mobility application in urban areas - from passenger transport to delivery journeys to services such as street cleaning (in English only).
Modern networked production is characterised by maximum efficiency. We are your partner on the way to your new smart production plant: from the initial idea to the virtual commissioning of your production solutions.
