Companies team on autonomy for industrial logistics

HTEC, a global technology and AI engineering company headquartered in Silicon Valley, Calif., and Embotech, a global provider of safety-certified Level 4 autonomous driving solutions for industrial logistics based in Zurich, Switzerland, have announced a strategic partnership to scale deployment of Embotech’s autonomous driving solutions across vehicle platforms, customer programs and industrial sites.

Embotech’s TÜV SÜD-certified Level 4 platform combines AI-powered perception, prediction and motion planning with independently certified safety systems, supporting both vehicle-based and infrastructure-based autonomous operations in industrial logistics.

Under the agreement, HTEC will contribute engineering capacity and expertise in onboard software, vehicle integration, connectivity and system validation, enabling Embotech to deliver autonomous driving solutions at greater scale while retaining full control of its autonomy platform, certified safety architecture and product roadmap.

“Our physical AI-enabled autonomy technology is already operating 24/7 in customer environments, and demand for Level 4 autonomous solutions continues to grow across industrial logistics,” said Andreas Kyrtatos, Embotech’s CEO. “HTEC adds the engineering expertise to make deployments faster and easier to scale across vehicle platforms and multiple sites.”

“Scaling autonomy in real-world vehicle environments requires more than innovation, it demands industrial-grade execution,” Darko Todorovic, HTEC’s CTO, stated. “HTEC brings deep expertise in embedded systems and OEM integration to deploy Embotech’s autonomy platform to multiple vehicle platforms. Together with Embotech, we’re enabling autonomous systems to deliver reliably across complex fleets, platforms and sites.”
