Adaptive Driver Assist Safety Cell (ADAS)
Adaptive Driver Assist Safety (ADAS) centering cells are stand alone and can be placed in any audit or production facility. The stand-alone ADAS cell was developed for the Faraday future electric vehicles that are eventually moving to a total autonomous Level 5 stage. The project required the calibration of the vehicles long range Radar sensor, corner Radar sensors, front camera, (s
tereo vision) and surround view camera. Headlamp aiming (HLA) was integrated into this platform to best utilize the operator’s process time.
The ADAS system was developed using lower cost solutions for:
• HLA with the hi-resolution Fori camera box and manual positioning gantry
• Pneumatic “auto” positioning of the LRR aluminum target for Bosch Gen 5 radar sensor 
• Pneumatic drop down positioning of the LDW target
• Fixed stanchions with corner reflectors for the corner radar calibration
• Pneumatic centering platform for a wheelbase range of 500mm.
• A self-contained control system with Siemens based s7-1200 series PLC for conducting all positioning and the adjust sequence.
• PC and software to interface with other plant provided systems that communicated to the vehicle OBDII.
andling applications within the automotive industry. Most recently Fori was enlisted to supply a derivative of the standard Tugger product line that is capable of nearly double the capacity of the original vehicle. The driver of this increase was the transport of (3) carts, carrying axle assemblies for a large automotive OEM.
The Fori Tugger capacity allowed more product to be transferred during each move, further increasing the return on investment to the end user and decreasing the number of required vehicles. The Tugger AGVs were commissioned to replace non-value added material handling tasks within the assembly process. The most important process consideration was safety and reliable
delivery of product.
Further improvement of the safety and reliability of the material handling system was the integration of a Fori Vehicle Management System (VMS). Vehicle scheduling of moves, tracking and traffic control is coordinated through the Fori VMS. The Fori Tugger is a proven and robust product that can be applied to a variety of material handling applications.
