Case

A large e-commerce logistics company in Japan faced downtime issues with their automated guided vehicles (AGVs). The standard gears wore out quickly under long hours of heavy load operation, leading to costly replacements and delivery delays.

DDGear developed reinforced spur and bevel gears with anti-wear coating and carburizing treatment. Precision grinding improved load distribution, and optimized design minimized backlash.

The upgraded AGVs operated continuously with over 50% longer gear life, reducing unplanned downtime and cutting overall maintenance costs. The improvement also allowed the company to handle higher delivery volumes during peak seasons, strengthening their competitive advantage.
