Rojitan Fork Case Studies

We have published the presentation materials from the webinar held on April 15, titled "Case Study on Visualizing Forklift Movement and Utilization Rates Using Visual SLAM." We hope those interested will take a look.

Forklifts are used in factories and logistics warehouses to handle and transport large cargo and pallets that cannot be managed manually. However, when site managers look over the area, they may notice that some forklifts are not in operation. Many people might wonder, "Do we really need this many forklifts?" or "Could we reduce the number of forklifts a bit more?" when they see such a situation. With conventional forklifts, it is only possible to check the operating hours using an hour meter, and it is not possible to grasp the operational status by time segments, the locations traveled, or the ratio of empty runs to loaded runs. This time, we will introduce a case where a housing equipment manufacturer worked on reducing the number of forklifts using a system called "Rojitan Fork," which utilizes beacons and sensors.

The "Reiwa Edition Logistics Technology Handbook," a comprehensive guide to modern logistics, organizes the information accumulated by our company to derive efficient and appropriate answers according to various logistics rules and standards. It also compiles practical information and data that directly relate to the foundational knowledge of logistics technology commonly used in society, updating the "Logistics Technology Handbook" (published in 2002) with the latest information for the Reiwa era. This paperback is designed to provide logistics practitioners with immediately useful content when they need to know something in the logistics field. In the first part, Fumihiko Inoue, the overall supervisor of the "Reiwa Edition Logistics Technology Handbook," will explain the background and key points leading to the publication of this book. The second part will introduce a case study of a company that worked on reducing the number of forklifts by visualizing the flow and operating rate of forklifts, which are essential for loading and unloading operations in logistics sites, using the latest Visual Slam technology. If you are interested in the visualization of forklift flow and operating rates utilizing the latest technology, please take this opportunity to participate.
