Case Study: Mercedes-Benz achieves safer, more efficient manufacturing with Trio Mobil

Driving Execellence Mercedes-Benz's Safety Achievements and Digital Manufacturing Advancement

Mercedes-Benz sought to enhance safety and efficiency at its production facility, facing challenges with potential forklift-door collisions and a lack of real-time operational data. To address this, the automotive leader partnered with vendor Trio Mobil to implement innovative IoT solutions, including their TRIO SAFE Forklift Safety System.

Trio Mobil deployed a comprehensive solution using UWB technology, which automatically slows forklifts if a door is not fully open to prevent collisions. They also installed a Real-Time Location System (RTLS) over 8,500 m² for precise indoor and outdoor vehicle tracking. This integration with SAP streamlined operations by eliminating manual data entry. The results for Mercedes-Benz included a significantly enhanced safety posture toward a zero-accident goal, major operational improvements, and substantial cost reductions by preventing damage and production stoppages.
