Otto Motors Awarded by Supply & Demand Chain Executive

Otto Motors, a provider of self-driving vehicle technology and services, has been selected by Supply & Demand Chain Executive (SDCE) magazine as a recipient of the SDCE 100 Award for 2016.

Otto Motors was selected for its work with GE Healthcare’s Repair Operations Center (ROC) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The facility repairs medical equipment, tests functionality, recycles retired equipment, manages warranty service programs, and ships qualified parts to field technicians to maintain high customer fulfillment rankings around the world. Otto Motors’ fleet of self-driving vehicles are used to deliver parts to work cells for repair. Once restored, Otto dispatches materials to shipping for return to customers.

“It’s humbling to be recognized on this prestigious list,” said Simon Drexler, director of industrial solutions at Otto Motors. “Working with Fortune 500 innovators like GE has given us the opportunity to demonstrate the current capability and future potential that self-driving vehicle technology offers to the manufacturing industry.”

The SDCE 100 is an annual list of 100 great supply chain projects. Projects can serve as a guide for supply chain executives who are looking for new opportunities to drive improvement in their own operations. These projects show how supply chain solution and service providers help their customers and clients achieve supply chain excellence and prepare their supply chains for success.

Otto’s dispatch app uses the Clearpath Fleet Manager to enable straightforward, rapid deployment of a fleet.

“Our goal with 2016’s SDCE 100 is to shine the spotlight on successful and innovative transformation projects that deliver bottom-line value to small, medium and large enterprises across the supply chain,” said Ronnie Garrett, editor of Supply & Demand Chain Executive. “The selected projects can serve as a roadmap for supply chain executives looking for new opportunities to drive improvement in their own operations. We congratulate all of our winners for a job well done!”
