What is the role of unmanned forklift AGVs in smart logistics?

Currently, unmanned forklift autonomous vehicles use SLAM navigationrobotic forklift technology (including laser and vision), which does not impose fixed routes on the environment, so their flexibility is more impressive. Because of this, unmanned forklift AGVs have a great deal of application space for in-plant storage and production logistics in manufacturing enterprises with increasingly customized requirements.

Unmanned forklift AGVs can not only perform point-to-point logistics handling links, but also complete docking in multiple production links and perform multiple functions in diverse production scenarios such as production lines, warehouses, stations and airports, in accordance with different needs such as import and export, production lines, up and down lines, assembly lines, transmission lines, shelves, three-dimensional warehouses and operation points.

Therefore, unmanned forklift AGVs have a wide range of applicability in many industries, such as automotive manufacturing, 3C electronics, home appliance manufacturing, food processing, biopharmaceuticals, packaging and printing, textile, building materials, and even electric power and military. Unmanned forklift AGVs can play unique roles in heavy-duty and special handling scenarios compared with other types of AGVs.

Furthermore, some robot manufacturers in the market offer more than just the basic fork picking function of unmanned forklift AGVs. They can also customize and replace attachments based on the actual situation of loading and unloading goods, so that they can meet the needs of application scenarios that traditional forklifts cannot handle.

Compared with traditional forklifts, unmanned forklift AGVs technically improve the environment sensing function, which can reduce sudden accidents on site and the occurrence of dangerous events. And they also combine with intelligent algorithm technology and software system functions to greatly improve the predictability of operations.
