Cyngn is excited to be attending the GDS Manufacturing Summit June 8-10th in Atlanta.

Manufacturers today aren't just navigating disruption — they're being asked to modernize faster than ever, with leaner teams, more complex supply chains, and higher stakes than before.

Autonomous vehicles are proving to be a critical part of that answer, helping operations combat labor shortages, improve safety on the floor, and build workflows resilient enough to handle whatever comes next.

We're looking forward to connecting with industry leaders and being part of these conversations at the Summit.

If you're coming to Atlanta, let's connect!

Nobody puts this in the automation ROI model.

The cost of getting the Wi-Fi working. The IT security approval that takes three months. The facility modifications needed to clear the route. The WMS upgrade required to trigger missions automatically.

These aren’t surprises — they’re just the costs that don’t show up in the vendor quote.

The manufacturers that get the most out of automation are the ones that go in with eyes open to the full implementation cost. Not just the hardware. The entire system.

Do the real math before you sign. And make sure your vendor is doing it with you, not for you.

Your team shouldn't be spending their day hauling materials from point A to point B. That's what we built the DriveMod Tugger for.

We'll be at Automate 2026 in Chicago next month, showing how organizations are reclaiming 80+ labor hours per week, reducing safety incidents, and achieving full ROI in under 2 years with the DriveMod Tugger.

Want to see what DriveMod can do for your operation? Check us out at booth 35024 or schedule a meeting with our team ahead of the show.

Pretty much,

A forklift operator got promoted. An autonomous vehicle helped make it possible.

Not by replacing him.

By taking repetitive transport work off his plate.

At a customer site, a Cyngn AV took over pallet hauling and supply runs — the kind of cross-facility travel that quietly consumes hours every shift.

As a result, this former forklift operator was able to focus on higher-value responsibilities instead of spending large parts of the day moving material from point A to point B.

The result wasn’t just a more efficient operation. It also created opportunities for employees to step into more skilled and versatile roles.

And yes — the deployment also delivered a 4x increase in operational efficiency.

Our intelligent DriveMod AMRs take on the most demanding material handling tasks and execute them with expert precision.

Things your forklift driver will never say:

1. "I love doing the same 4-mile loop 40 times a shift."
2. "I definitely didn't clip that rack."
3. "Sure, I'll work weekends."
4. "No, no, hire someone else. I'm not going anywhere."

Autonomous tuggers, on the other hand?

Zero complaints. Zero turnover. Zero near-misses.

"We don't have a budget for automation this year."

Fair. But consider what you do have budget for:

Overtime to cover open headcount.
Agency staffing at a premium.
Forklift lease renewals.
Workers’ comp from the near-miss last quarter.

The cost of not automating rarely shows up as a single line item. It’s spread across a dozen different expenses, and most operations never calculate the total.

That’s why the strongest business cases for automation often start with the costs already hiding in plain sight.

Build the case now—for this year or next.
But build it before the cost of inaction becomes impossible to ignore.

We recently broke down how AVs answer the question: Where am I?

A big part of that answer is lidar. But not all lidar is created equal.
2D lidar scans in a single flat plane. It gives you a slice of the environment, offering limited detail.

3D lidar, like what Cyngn uses, captures depth, shape, and precise spatial location—giving the vehicle a full understanding of its surroundings.

The result? Smarter, safer navigation that lets autonomous vehicles:

✔️ Handle complex, changing environments (like tight indoor spaces)
✔️ Safely move around people, equipment, and unexpected obstacles
✔️ Transition seamlessly between indoor and outdoor areas without needing different sensors or adding infrastructure

Signs your factory is ready for autonomous vehicles:

1. You need 500 people tomorrow, but can’t even hire 10.
2. Every shift has at least one pallet that didn’t make it intact
3. And somehow, the is in reverse. Again.

31% of automotive manufacturers have increased investment in robotics and automation this year, according to a recent ABB survey.

Why? To stay competitive, control costs, and tackle ongoing workforce and energy pressures.

It’s not surprising.

At Cyngn, we’re seeing this play out in real time. We’re finding a sweet spot with customers in high-uptime, heavy manufacturing industries like automotive.

From our conversations with manufacturers, it’s clear that these investments aren’t just about technology. They’re about achieving the efficiency needed to stay competitive and keep production running at full capacity.

ABB survey shows increased use of robotics in automotive manufacturing.
