Continental is digitalizing the entire production process for automotive components. To this end, the technology company has formed a partner consortium with a total of eight renowned IT and process optimization companies, universities and specialist start-ups.

Continental further expands its development and system expertise in the field of autonomous mobile robots with operating systems for precise and networked navigation.

Continental is expanding its Romanian site in Timisoara into a new dimension: The expansion of the plant is the third since its opening in 2006. After a construction time of less than a year the expanded mega factory was opened in November and will produce e.g. innovative User Experience solutions such as displays at the enlarged site.

Technology company Continental will present for the first time in public its Autonomous Mobile Robots for the external market at the LogiMAT 2022, the international intralogistics tradeshow, from May 31 to June 2 in Stuttgart. After an internal test phase in Continental production locations worldwide, the AMRs are now ready for the external market entry with improved and new features as well as the handling of new use cases.

From October 11th to 15th, this international industry platform will present innovative solutions for tomorrow's intelligent transportation systems. Continental will also be there as an exhibitor. The company will be showcasing pioneering robotics technologies that can support humans in crucial areas of application. Three so-called AMR vehicles ­ Autonomous Mobile Robots ­ can be experienced as prototypes at the company's booth: The Continental Corriere is a small delivery robot for transporting groceries or packages in urban areas. The Continental Contadino, in turn, is an agricultural robot that can sow, plant and fertilize autonomously.

At the Freiburg location, technology company Continental is pooling its expertise in functional printing in a Technology Center with state-of-the-art machinery.

After just two years of construction, the newest Vitesco Technologies plant in Debrecen, Hungary, went now into operation.

Technology company Continental has developed a service solution for monitoring conveyor belt systems to permit early identification of weak points along a belt conveyor system before damage resulting in unscheduled and cost-intensive downtimes occurs.

In the scope of their follow-up projects to current serial orders, two major European vehicle manufacturers have once again decided to work with Continental to supply innovative telematics and antenna solutions.

Technology company Continental is continuing the series of its PRORETA research projects, together with Technical University (TU) Darmstadt, the University of Bremen (Germany) and TU Iaşi (Romania).
