PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Smart Dolly is a system designed to facilitate and improve reversing maneuvers for multi-articulated vehicles in industrial and logistics environments. The solution simplifies vehicle control in difficult maneuvering situations, optimizing movements and improving safety in tight spaces.
The system is based on an intelligent directional design that takes into account the geometry of the multi-articulated vehicle. Thanks to a proprietary control algorithm and the strategic arrangement of hardware elements, the system assists the driver in performing reversing maneuvers, offering intuitive and precise handling.

SOLUTION AND TECHNOLOGIES

Smart Dolly is an intelligent power-assisted steering system designed to facilitate reversing maneuvers for industrial vehicles with articulated trailers, especially in logistics environments with limited space.
The solution is based on an advanced steering system, which automatically adjusts the angle of the trailer wheels based on the movement of the towing vehicle. This mechanism is managed by a own control algorithm, capable of interpreting the geometry of the multi-articulated vehicle in real time and calculating the optimal trajectory to execute maneuvers accurately and safely.
The system allows the automation of the most complex movements, reducing the margin of error in reversing maneuvers and improving vehicle control in hard-to-reach areas. Its implementation is flexible and low-cost, as it is designed to be integrated into different types of industrial vehicles, facilitating its adoption without the need for complex modifications to existing trailers.

Contributed innovation

Smart Dolly’s innovation lies in simply and efficiently solving a traditional problem in industrial logistics: reversing maneuvers with articulated vehicles.
Until now, this type of maneuver required highly experienced operators and posed a high risk of collisions and damage to facilities, limiting productivity and increasing costs.
Smart Dolly transforms this scenario by introducing a patented power-assisted steering system, which automates control of the trailer wheels and significantly simplifies reversing maneuvers, reducing the need for advanced operator skills.

Thanks to this automation, precision and safety are improved during maneuvers in tight spaces, minimizing the risk of collisions and property damage. Furthermore, the learning curve for workers is reduced, facilitating intuitive use of the system and optimizing operating times.
This combination of simplicity, safety, and cost reduction positions Smart Dolly as an innovative and affordable solution, capable of improving mobility and maneuverability in logistics and industrial operations, especially in environments where space is a limiting factor.
