Toyota Is Taking The Fight To BMW And Tesla, But Not With Cars
Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada has partnered with Agility Robotics to implement humanoid robots, named Digit, at its Ontario plants to perform repetitive tasks. The robots will transfer totes full of car parts to the assembly line, allowing human workers to be reassigned to more value-added roles.
Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada is implementing humanoid robotics at its three Ontario plants. The company partnered with Agility Robotics to use its Digit robot to perform repetitive tasks. Digit will transfer totes full of car parts to the assembly line and reload automated tugs with empty totes. This will allow Toyota to reassign human workers to more value-added roles. The pilot program started in February, and three Digit robots will work full-time at the Woodstock plant. Toyota and Agility are also collaborating on an AI-based workforce model to identify other tasks suitable for robots.
