…being involved in a serious incident this year. In Germany, over 30,000 work accidents involving forklifts and pallet trucks were reported in 2016. The majority of these incidents were due to user error. By contrast, with more than 20 years in business and over 2,500 vehicles in operation, no automated vehicle driven by BlueBotics ANT® technology has ever been involved in a serious or fatal incident. That’s in part because automated forklifts (and all ANT® driven automated guided vehicles) behave as programmed, every time. And because the person most often injured in a forklift incident is the driver, by definition…
