The POC will run for four to six weeks, during which Hybrid’s operations team will collect data on cycle times, payload utilization and navigation efficiency in confined production areas. Key performance indicators will include reductions in manual labor requirements, increases in throughput per shift and assessments of scalability potential across multiple lines.
