SlipBots: Built for the Speed and Precision of Automotive Manufacturing

5 minute Load/Unloading is Possible

In automotive logistics, dock operations are under constant pressure. Between just-in-time (JIT) delivery models, labor shortages, and rising safety concerns, keeping materials flowing from trailers to production lines has never been more difficult — or more critical.
SlipBots are designed specifically for the realities of automotive material handling. They’re not lab experiments. They’re working today at some of the world’s most demanding auto manufacturing sites — streamlining trailer unloading, increasing dock throughput, and eliminating safety risks.

What the Automotive Industry Demands — SlipBots Deliver

Speed:
Unload trailers in just 5–10 minutes. That’s up to 77% faster than traditional forklift operations — with consistent performance across every shift, every day.

Safety:
Remove forklifts from your dock. Reduce near-misses, collisions, and OSHA-reportable incidents. Protect your people while maintaining productivity.

Savings:
Automate without adding headcount. With our Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) model, there’s no CapEx required — and no long-term risk.

Simplicity:
No dock modifications. No IT integrations. No redesigns. SlipBots are fully deployed in hours and run with your existing dock and trailer infrastructure.

Whether you're managing inbound material flow from Tier 1 suppliers or outbound parts distribution to OEMs, SlipBots fit seamlessly into your automotive warehouse or plant — enhancing operations without disrupting them. 

Solving the Real Operational Pain Points in Automotive Logistics
The automotive supply chain is a precision machine — and manual dock operations are its weakest link. Labor shortages are no longer temporary.
Finding and retaining skilled forklift operators has become a persistent challenge. Plants are forced to slow unloading, reassign critical workers, or pay steep premiums just to keep docks moving.

Manual unloading is inefficient and unsafe.
Forklift congestion leads to dock delays, inventory backup, and higher incident risk. Each additional touchpoint increases variability and reduces flow efficiency.
The demand for better OEE and throughput keeps rising.
Auto manufacturers are pushed to produce more with less — faster. But traditional dock operations can’t scale without more labor or expensive infrastructure.

SlipBots were engineered to solve all of this.
They automate where it counts most — at the dock — where material handling inefficiencies are most costly. They give your team back time, unlock consistent flow, and reduce risk while improving plant performance KPIs. 

Smarter Automation. Faster Deployment. Immediate Impact.
Unlike traditional AGVs , AMRs or warehouse automation platforms, SlipBots don’t require complex planning, facility modifications, or multi-million-dollar investments.


You don’t need:

A robotics engineering team

New trailers or dock retrofits

Months of planning and integration


You just need a dock.

SlipBots are delivered, installed, and operational in days — not months. No forklifts. No IT disruption. No downtime. Just automated unloading from day one.And the best part? There’s zero CapEx.

SlipBots are offered via RaaS — a subscription-based model where you only pay for what you use. That means you get ROI immediately, with no financial burden or capital budgeting delays.
