Dodge Center, Minnesota-based McNeilus Truck and Manufacturing Inc., an Oshkosh Corp. company, has acquired the CartSeeker curbside automation product from Eagle Vision Systems Inc., Kitchener, Ontario.
CartSeeker curbside automation is a patented AI-based recognition technology that identifies and locates curbside waste carts and helps automate the operation of the truck’s robotic lift arm without joystick manipulation. The CartSeeker product will complement McNeilus’ ongoing work with autonomy by providing more potential for solutions that bring operational simplicity and high performance to customers.
McNeilus says it is focused on designing and developing technology and other heavy-duty truck advancements that move the waste industry forward. This investment in refuse collection vehicle automation drives that strategy forward.
“We put a priority on bringing our customers innovations that advance their business, and this strategic investment in autonomy boosts our product capabilities and future offerings,” says Jeff Koga, vice president and general manager of refuse collection vehicles for McNeilus.
