Automated dispensing and servicing of consumables and energy

L2 – Medium Complexity

Mobility operations depend on frequent micro-interventions: battery swaps, tyre inflation, and minor repairs. Performing these manually requires staff to be present and leads to downtime.

This category introduces active service modules that automate high-frequency maintenance tasks for mobility.

This level is ideal for bike- and scooter-heavy cities, campuses, and courier hubs.

What it solves for the operator

  • Reduces downtime caused by maintenance queues
  • Lowers dependency on on-site technicians
  • Improves fleet availability
  • Enables scalable energy and parts distribution

How it works

Modules dispense batteries, tools, or air automatically, with validation and usage logging. Simple mechanical actions are triggered without human intervention.

Typical business impact

  • Partial replacement of technician workload
  • Higher fleet utilization
  • Faster turnaround for vehicles

Example solutions

  • Smart Battery Swap Device
  • Active Tire Inflation & Micro-Repair Module
  • Active Tool & Parts Dispenser Module

Efficiency Calculation

Manual maintenance support requires frequent staff intervention throughout the day.

A conservative operational baseline:

  • ~50 maintenance interactions/day
  • ~6 minutes manual handling per interaction
  • ~330 operating days/year
  • This results in ~1,650 manual hours/year.
  • With ~80% operational coverage and ~90% adoption, the system eliminates ~1,190 hours/year, equivalent to ~0.6 FTE per module.

What this means in practice:

Each module replaces a significant share of technician or support workload, while increasing fleet uptime.
