About enabl Technologies
enabl Technologies GmbH offers material handling as a service for intralogistics: retrofitted standard forklift trucks operate semi-autonomously in customers' warehouses, while remote operators intervene situationally from the enabl Remote Operation Center in Karlsruhe and control multiple vehicles in parallel. The platform distributes transport orders in real time across vehicles, operators and locations, continuously analyzes movements and bottlenecks, and plans transports proactively. Covered use cases include loading and unloading trucks including pallet handover, operating block storage with barcode scanning and WMS integration, storing goods in high-bay racks with camera and sensor support, as well as floor-to-floor transports. According to the company, around 95 percent of all manual processes can be mapped, including in brownfield and mixed operation without conversion or process adjustments. Billing follows a pay-per-use model; according to the website, synchronization and calculation are possible over distances of more than 1000 km. The GmbH is based in Karlsruhe and is registered with the Mannheim district court under HRB 740428.
