The transport robotics manufacturer E&K AUTOMATION GmbH has been modifying vehicles from Jungheinrich and Linde for 25 years and has thus developed into a specialist in automated intralogistics. The individually automated vehicles are marketed under the name SMART MOVE and are used in a wide variety of industries, such as the food industry, automotive industry, health care, in the packaging industry and many others.
