FERNRIDE

Diconium supported FERNRIDE, the European leader in autonomous trucking solutions, focusing on yard and port logistics, with comprehensive #cybersecurity engineering & testing for their autonomous electric trucks. Our Automation testing framework D/ACE enabled a fast-track implementation of security mitigation tests validating the hardening of the FERNRIDE ECU's as well as helping FERNRIDE identify & secure potential vulnerabilities. Thanks to close collaboration and technical alignment, the project contributed directly to the safety certification of FERNRIDE’s security-hardened autonomous truck platform - ready for deployment. 🔗 Learn more about this success story: https://lnkd.in/eFY84xxT.

Container terminals are essential to global supply chains. 🌍 That's why we treat cybersecurity with the same rigor as safety. FERNRIDE’s autonomous terminal tractors are designed to keep your operations running safely and securely, no matter the conditions. "Safety you can rely on" --> this means the system: 1️⃣ Detects and reacts to obstacles in real time 2️⃣ Slows down or stops if conditions require it 3️⃣ Keeps operations safe without sacrificing availability "Cybersecurity at the core" --> this means the system: 1️⃣ Protects with firewalls and network isolation 2️⃣ Secures data through end‑to‑end encryption 3️⃣ Controls access proactively and monitors continuously 4️⃣ Detects and responds to threats early Both the safety and cybersecurity modules are part of the certified system under the EU Machinery Directive. ✅ Certified by TÜV SÜD ✅ Built for mission‑critical environments ✅ Already making productive moves in live operations FERNRIDE delivers autonomy that is proven, certified, and ready for your operations.

Cranes? Automated. ✅ Gates? Automated. ✅ But one vital piece is often left behind: Horizontal transport. It remains the bottleneck in many terminals. Moves aren’t synchronised. Equipment waits. Capacity gets wasted. Why? Because this part of the process was hard to automate without major changes to the yard. We took a different approach. FERNRIDE’s autonomous terminal tractors work with existing layouts, existing fleets, and existing workflows. No expensive redesign. No disruption. Now certified under the EU Machinery Directive. Solving the bottleneck doesn’t require starting over. It just takes a solution that fits your terminal.

Building an autonomous fleet is never a solo sport. 🚛 🚛 🚛 This month, we are sharing what it really takes: lessons learned from the frontlines of logistics, and how collaboration with partners like Continental Engineering Services and Motius is turning complexity into certified process. Read the latest insights in our August newsletter 👇

🔥 Hot take: Building autonomous logistics isn’t about flashy demos. It’s about creating reliable systems that scale. From the frontlines of logistics, we’ve learned: ✅ Shiny prototypes don’t move freight. Reproducible processes do. 🔧 Reliability comes from Golden Sample standards, ensuring every vehicle meets the same high bar. 🤝 Scaling depends on trusted partners, strong supply chains, and shared standards. 📊 Each rollout performs better than the last thanks to continuous testing and data feedback. 🛡️ We’ve already achieved EU Machinery Directive certification, with CE conformity next; proof our system is built for the real world, not just pilots. Curious how this plays out in practice? What is Golden Sample process? Full article in the comments 👇

We’re proud to see our collaboration with Continental Engineering Services highlighted. Together we tackled one of the toughest challenges for autonomous terminal tractors: making radar work reliably in complex terminal environments. A big thank you to the CES team for their expertise and partnership in bringing this critical sensing capability to life. 👏

Innovation in autonomous driving requires trusted partners with proven expertise. A big thank you to TÜV SÜD for the excellent collaboration. Together, we are opening a new chapter for safe autonomous driving in Europe, advancing our mission to deliver reliable, certified solutions for container terminals.

📸 Behind the scenes: Benedikt Pulver, Head of the Machine Safety Department at TÜV SÜD, handing over the certification that marks a new chapter for autonomous terminal operations in Europe. This certification represents months of validation and rigorous safety testing, making FERNRIDE the first to achieve this milestone for autonomous terminal tractors under the EU Machinery Directive. As Benedikt noted: “This milestone could establish a new benchmark for safety and compliance in autonomous trucking for terminal applications.” What does this mean for terminal operators? ✅ Proven safety standards for autonomous operations in real terminal environments ✅ A validated pathway to deploy driverless vehicles ✅ Confidence that innovation meets the highest regulatory requirements Thank you to the TÜV SÜD team for your thorough evaluation and partnership 🤝. Together, we're advancing the future of safe, certified terminal automation. cc Yvonne Möller Marina Leal Virgil Tantu Tilmann Ochs Thomas Bock Oliver Nölle James Conolly Lars Gerd PiwkowskiJochen Issing Praveen Kumar Ravi Fabian Jachmann Daniel Schreckling #AutonomousVehicles #TerminalAutomation #AutonomousLogistics

✅ Getting TÜV SÜD approval is one thing. Getting certified for real driverless operation is another. When we launched driverless operations at #HHLA TK Estonia, TÜV SÜD did more than check our documents or review our system on paper. 🔍 They assessed the entire system, not just the software. This includes our safety concept, system design, vehicle, software, sensors, and cyber security. They confirmed it meets the requirements of the EU Machinery Directive. 🛠️ This process tested both our technology and its readiness for real-world operations. 🏁 The result is a TÜV SÜD conformity assessment for the EU Machinery Directive, a key milestone toward CE marking and driverless operation at a live terminal. We believe this is what matters in autonomy: 🎯 Ready for real sites 🎯 With real customers 🎯 Under real safety standards 📖 Read more in Forbes: https://lnkd.in/dKTnFmpT #FERNRIDE #Driverless #Automation #MachineryDirective #AutonomousVehicles
