In recent years, the society has faced challenges of aging populations and labor shortages. Many industries have harsh working environments, especially for sanitation workers who need to engage in high-intensity physical labor outdoors for long periods, leading to difficulties in ensuring work efficiency and quality. Novautek has thus introduced smart cleaning robots and intelligent patrol robots. These robots utilize artificial intelligence and autonomous driving technology to plan cleaning and patrol routes, employing technologies such as multi-sensor fusion and deep learning algorithms for autonomous road cleaning and security patrols, enhancing safety monitoring and efficiency in sanitation work. Both have entered commercial operations, addressing community cleaning and security patrol issues, while also providing localized worry-free services, including free training and regular inspections, ensuring the safety and efficient operation of the robots. This application has received high praise from community residents as they believe that innovative technology has brought a higher quality of life.

Furthermore, recognizing the high physical demands, complex and hazardous environments, and elevated risk of injury in traditional industries, Novautek has introduced autonomous trucks and equipment focusing on mining areas and large infrastructure projects including land reclamation and waste transportation. These trucks can identify specific environmental terrains, adjust truck payloads, and plan driving routes, significantly boosting transport efficiency while reducing safety risks. Besides, the warehousing and logistics industry is one of the labor-intensive sectors, requiring a significant workforce for goods handling and inventory management. However, facing challenges in recruitment and high management costs, Novautek has addressed urban delivery needs by introducing unmanned driving logistics distribution services. This enables round-the-clock unmanned deliveries, effectively reducing operational costs. Additionally, the integration of smart storage and warehousing technologies with smart dispatch systems offers a comprehensive solution, significantly enhancing warehouse management and handling efficiency.
