How can automated forklifts optimise your warehouse?

Get the most out of your operation and…

• Optimise your flow of goods: automation contributes to a consistent workflow with efficient driving behaviour. Intelligent order and fleet software minimises transport distance and avoids clustering, improving productivity in your operations, 24/7.
• Increase the safety: automated trucks are equipped with state-of-the-art safety laser scanners which detect any obstacle and stop when needed. This secures a safe working environment, even when working closely to humans.
• Minimise damage: the highly accurate navigation and detection systems of automated warehouse forklifts will avoid causing damage to your goods, infrastructure and trucks. Which will also decrease your damage and service costs.
• Optimise your use of staff: by having automated trucks doing the repetitive work, your workers become available to handle more complex tasks with added value.
• Increase your energy efficiency: Charging of these trucks can be done automatically with Lithium-ion batteries, which don’t require any maintenance or human involvement.

Which part of your operations can you automate?

Think of all the repetitive load handling going on in your warehouse. Automation can be implemented in the following different sections:

• Long-distance pallet transport: horizontal transport of heavy loads between work stations
• Block stacking: stacking in blocks for compact storage
• High-level storage: storing and retrieving goods at height
• Towing: delivering parts just in time between work stations
• Light item handling: horizontal transport up to 0,5 t
• High-density storage: pallet transport in racking
