“Intelligent production”: Mercedes-Benz Ludwigsfelde plant focusing on new technologies and efficiency in van production

It's really quiet in the Sprinter assembly hall south of Berlin. Unexpectedly quiet for a place that builds more than 200 large vans every single day. Whereas previously there were countless wire baskets, shelves and carriers full of material all around the assembly lines, and the employees had to pick the correct parts for each van themselves, now the scene is dominated by "driverless transport trucks". These driverless transport trucks supply the assembly personnel on the line with prepared goods baskets from the logistics and picking areas fully autonomously. In short: intelligent production at the Mercedes-Benz Ludwigsfelde plant.
