Loading and unloading operations from trucks occur at various sites such as factories and warehouses, but they have become significant challenges due to labor shortages, rising labor costs, and the 2024 issue. On the other hand, when automating these loading and unloading operations with unmanned forklifts, there are three challenges: the "stopping position of the truck," the "position of the pallet," and the "height of the cargo bed," making it a difficult solution. To address these challenges, our company has developed a unique "Bright Eye System" that detects all of the aforementioned positional deviations and integrates them into the AGF, thereby achieving automation of truck loading and unloading. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

As a result of conducting a site survey for the automation project of the user's production equipment, we found that there are multiple process flows on-site, and the material transport routes are quite complex. Considering the project's status and product performance, we introduced the counterbalance type unmanned forklift "VNP12." This product works in conjunction with RCS to respond to system tasks immediately in complex environments and process situations, achieving optimal route planning. By implementing our warehouse logistics automation solution, the user's project has achieved advanced warehouse logistics, precise material handling, more flexible unmanned handling operations, increased efficiency of production lines, significant reduction in material loss rates, and effective improvement in environmental safety. VisionNav Robotics supports users in reducing costs and increasing efficiency, as well as enhancing corporate competitiveness in the market.

The machinery and equipment manufacturing industry that realizes digitalization, intelligence is the main goal of transforming and upgrading the industrial manufacturing sector. However, machinery and equipment manufacturing is primarily characterized by individual production, with many types of products, specifications, models, and process procedures being complex, leading to many "deep-sea" scenarios. We introduce future robots that will enable well-known domestic machinery and equipment manufacturing companies to transform and upgrade their factory logistics. 【VNSL 14SLIM Model AGF】 ■ Rated load: 1.4t ■ Maximum lift height: 1.6m ■ Maximum speed: 1.3m/s *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

We would like to introduce a case study involving a major automotive manufacturer located in an automotive city in China, which was engaged in the construction of a digital management model factory. The user focused on smart manufacturing and envisioned creating a proof-of-concept factory that is digitally smart and sophisticated. Our company collaborated with the user to transform and improve the factory logistics through workshops, achieving flexible production management that includes accurate insertion of various steel pallets, coordination aligned with the production line, integration with inbound and outbound management, and efficient and precise material handling. VisionNav Robotics' RCS works in conjunction with the user's WMS, which manages location and batch control. Following the production plan, the WMS sends tasks to the RCS, dispatching unmanned forklifts to pick up materials and enabling unmanned transportation between the semi-finished product area, spot welding area, and finished goods storage area. As a result, we reduced waiting times at workstations and achieved efficient transportation.

When our company entered the food industry, we would like to introduce how we overcame difficult situations and accelerated the upgrade to smart logistics. We implemented a project in a food warehouse in southern China. The bottom width of the drive-in rack in the warehouse was 1340mm, so we chose a reach-type unmanned forklift to operate within the tight confines of the rack, performing cargo storage operations in accordance with the first-in, first-out rule using the drive-in rack. In a project for a global food processing company, we utilized the sensing capabilities of the unmanned forklift to detect the height of the cargo while lifting the forks, enabling stacking and unstacking of the cargo. We equipped the floor storage warehouse with Bright Eyes to monitor the status of locations and the loading and unloading of cargo, identifying people, vehicles, and cargo entering and exiting the warehouse, and issuing alerts for safety risks. For more details, please refer to the related link. [Case Details] - Drive-in racks & high-rise racks - Integration with automated equipment, smart management of the entire process - High-density storage on the floor, safety monitoring with Bright Eyes *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Here are some examples of scenarios for storage operations in high-rise racks. In the case of a global food manufacturer, the high-rise racks on-site are over 6000mm, with an aisle width of 3200mm, and the actual pallet load weight is approximately 1200KG. Not only does an unmanned forklift safely and efficiently store cargo in high beam racks, but it also ensures a cargo clearance of 100mm within the racks. In the case of a major automotive parts manufacturing company, the actual pallet weight is about 350KG, the rack height exceeds 10m, and the highest beam is approximately 8055mm from the ground. The unmanned forklift lifts over 8m to achieve the storage operation into the racks. As our technical capabilities and the performance of unmanned forklifts continue to improve, solutions for storage operations in high-rise racks are becoming increasingly mature. By accumulating project experience, we can generate greater benefits for more companies. For more details, please refer to the related links.
