SlipBots are transforming Automotive operations.
See all the ways Slip's robots-as-a-service network is unblocking docks across the supply chain.
Reducing Trailer Loading & Unloading Times
Built for the Speed and Precision of Automotive Manufacturing
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 by streamlining trailer loading and unloading, increasing dock throughput, and eliminating safety risks.

Challenge: Eliminating A Major Bottleneck
What the Automotive Industry Demands, SlipBots Deliver
Speed:
Load and unload trailers in 5 minutes.
That’s up to 10X 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 trailer modifications. No IT integrations. SlipBots are fully deployed in days and run with your existing dock and trailer infrastructure.

Solving
Operational Pain Points
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 run into bottlenecks due to slow loading/unloading times, need to 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.
