Liebherr scoops innovation award for autonomous operations system

LIEBHERR has won a bauma innovation award in the Digitalisation category for its Autonomous Operations solution.

Liebherr Autonomous Operations is an autonomous system for wheel loaders from Liebherr-Werk Bischofshofen GmbH and the result of many years of development work. The systems aims to allow repetitive and monotonous tasks to be undertaken ‘simply and intuitively’ without a driver. This helps counteract labour shortages and can create space for employees to focus on more complex activities.

The autonomous system gives operators an application that does not require any specialist IT knowledge. The autonomous optional extra is developed specifically for use with earthmoving machines and opens up opportunities for planning jobs and organising working time.
