Logistics is a tough business. Severe driver shortages, high cost pressures and fluctuating demands are constantly threatening the logistics supply chain. Remote operators are the solution! Fernride is partnering with leading OEMs to enable the remote operation and full automation of driverless fleets - swap body or trailer trucks, forklifts, shuttles, or other vehicles.
Our unlimited and flexible workforce of remote operators allows you to dynamically meet peaks and troughs of demands. Fernride offers driving on demand - you only pay for remote operators when you need them, and they are creating value.
Our teleoperation solution allows one remote operator to monitor and operate up to 20 vehicles simultaneously, allowing for operative cost benefits of up to 85%. Our remote operators are located in centers all across the world in every time zone, which enables you to boost your vehicle utilization up to 100%.
Fernride is redefining the job of the driver who will evolve from a 1:1 remote operator to a highly effective fleet manager who assists up to 50 automated vehicles from the comfort of an office.
Fernride’s teleoperation solution seamlessly integrates into any vehicle type. Our certified remote operators are trained to operate mixed fleets - enabling truly driverless logistics.
Increase yard efficiency by integrating driverless yard vehicles into multiple use cases -swap body shunting, trailer shunting, milk runs and intermodal shuttle operations.
Intralogistics are crucial but difficult to automate. Teleoperation enables the integration of driverless forklift trucks into complex use cases like truck loading and unloading.
Bridge the automation gap of long-distance hauling by safely guiding automated trucks from the highway to your logistics centers through remote operation.
Our teleoperation technology enables the integration of driverless vehicles into the most difficult applications such as urban environments.
Background | I studied physics to understand the world better, then quickly found my way into computer vision and graphics. There is just something about visualization of abstract concepts that I find extremely cool, so I have been pursuing it both academically and professionally for the past 5 years.
Motivation | I started coding because I love to go from ideas to tangible applications. This is precisely what Fernride is doing, but to an ambitious scale.
Background | My background is in mechanical engineering where I specialized in development and design, however I always had a large passion for coding.
