Yale Lift Truck Technologies will demo its Relay automation platform at Automate 2025 in Detroit.
Yale Lift Truck Technologies announced an interactive demo of Yale Relay, the company’s reimagined automated lift truck platform, at Automate 2025 in Detroit.
At booth #1452, attendees can try the drag-and-drop automation portal, which the company said enables fast deployment and easy, on-the-fly changes without the need for custom programming.
Automate 2025 is May 12-15 in Detroit’s Huntington Place.
Relay, which was announced during ProMat 2025 in March, allows users to map facilities on its platform without a heavy-handed approach.
“Sourcing lift truck operators is not the only labor challenge facing warehouses. As they deploy automation to help address that issue, they run into another challenge finding the software engineering skillsets typically required to implement and manage those systems,” said Brad Long, global activation manager, Yale Lift Truck Technologies. “Yale Relay is different. It does not require coding, nor does it require the traditional CapEx model. It’s a completely new approach designed to help warehouses overcome barriers that may have prevented them from adopting automation previously.”
While some automation offerings require complex integration and service from multiple stakeholders, Yale said Relay is backed by training, parts and support directly from the company. The drag-and-drop portal allows warehouses to implement automation in as little as a day.
Yale said mapping the facility is as easy as manually driving a truck through the facility, and users can change routes by clicking and dropping waypoints on the interactive map - without any coding required. The cloud-based portal enables lift truck and fleet management across multiple facilities, with remote monitoring and over-the-air update capabilities.
The offering’s rental approach offers a fast, hassle-free way to implement automation that rolls all costs - including software, hosting fees and ongoing platform improvements - into a single monthly or annual fee. Rather than incurring the upfront costs and lengthy timelines of engineering studies that CapEx investments in automation require, Yale said the rental model enables operations to pilot their automation program with one or two trucks, with the flexibility to scale as business dictates.
