Cyngn is adding Chandler Automation as a dealer to sell its DriveMod Tugger into food processing facilities, marking the autonomous vehicle company's expansion into agriculture.

Cyngn Inc. (CYN) shares climbed Tuesday after the autonomous industrial vehicle company announced a dealer partnership that pushes it into a fresh sector: agriculture.

The company signed up Chandler Automation to sell its DriveMod Tugger into food processing and packing facilities, where the autonomous vehicle can shuttle materials back and forth between processing and packaging stations. It's the kind of repetitive task that makes sense for automation, especially as food processors look to trim labor costs and boost throughput.

Chandler Automation specializes in factory automation for the food industry, building systems for optical sorting, inspection, robotic palletizing, and custom machinery. The company's existing presence in agriculture gives Cyngn a direct route into the sector without having to build those relationships from scratch.

Why This Matters

Cyngn has been expanding DriveMod deployments across various industries, and agriculture represents the next growth opportunity. The DriveMod platform retrofits existing industrial vehicles with autonomous capabilities, which means customers don't need to rip out infrastructure or completely redesign their facilities to get automation benefits.

"Chandler Automation is deeply embedded in the food processing ecosystem," said Lior Tal, CEO of Cyngn. He noted that autonomous material movement can increase uptime and throughput for food producers, which translates to real operational gains.

From Chandler's perspective, the partnership fills a gap. "Many of our customers have modernized inspection and packaging but still rely on manual transport between stations," explained Sean Chandler, CEO of Chandler Automation. Cyngn's technology fits naturally into the continuous-flow operations his customers want to achieve.

Food processing facilities have already automated many inspection and packaging tasks, but moving materials between those stations often still requires human labor. Autonomous tuggers can handle those repetitive routes reliably, freeing up workers for tasks that actually require human judgment.

The partnership expands Cyngn's dealer network and customer base while giving Chandler Automation another tool to offer clients who are modernizing their operations. For both companies, it's about meeting demand from food processors who want to automate more of their workflows without massive capital expenditures.

CYN Price Action: Cyngn shares were up 0.95% at $3.20 during premarket trading on Tuesday.
