With the adjustment of the global energy structure and the development of the new energy industry, the demand for energy storage products has gradually expanded. In order to seize development opportunities and enhance market competitiveness, many new energy companies have begun to introduce automatic guided logistics equipment to transform the industry through digitalization and intelligence. as a means to promote high-quality development of enterprises.
Recently, the Effifork smart forklift AGV project was successfully put into operation at an energy storage manufacturing company in China. Use intelligent logistics technology to help customers realize the automation of the entire warehousing and warehousing process and promote the digital transformation of enterprise warehousing.
Background of the project:
This customer is one of the most fully qualified energy storage manufacturers in the industry. It focuses on the research and development, production, and application of lithium battery energy storage products and provides leading full-scenario energy storage systems and customized solutions. At present, the company’s products are widely used in international markets.
Customer Challenge:
01 Insufficient storage space
As orders increase, the amount of storage space is obviously insufficient, making it difficult to meet the needs of enterprises for large-scale production and continuous market development;
02 Rising labor costs
The company’s production capacity is rapidly expanding, and the entire process from raw material docking production to finished product packaging and warehousing requires a large amount of workforce to deal with repetitive, low-value logistics turnover work, and the company’s labor costs are rising,
03 Logistics management chaos
The warehousing, warehousing, and outbound delivery of raw materials and finished products have been manually managed for a long time, and there are situations where they could be more efficient and easier to check and inventory.
Effifork Solution:
Based on the above difficulties, Effifork Intelligent Forklift focuses on the production and logistics processes of customer companies and recommends a series of narrow-lane unmanned forklifts: three-way AGV, which can not only increase the warehouse volume ratio for the company but also complete the automation of the warehouse logistics line. Upgrade to achieve the purpose of reducing the number of employees, reducing costs, and increasing efficiency.
01 Develop massive storage capacity
The three-way AGV forklift configured in this project is specially designed for narrow aisles and high-level shelves. It only needs a 1900mm shelf channel to achieve the stacking requirements of shelves on both sides. The customer upgraded the storage shelves according to Zhuoyi’s plan, increasing the number of storage locations by about 65%.
02 Automation replaces manual work
The project vehicle is equipped with high-precision positioning and recognition technology, all-around intelligent obstacle avoidance, and a touch emergency stop switch to accurately locate the connection point, flexibly respond to complex scenarios, avoid collisions with people or shelves during operation, and ensure the safety of goods and personnel.
The investment of two three-way AGV forklifts can replace manual labor for time-consuming and laborious highly repetitive tasks such as docking production systems, transporting finished products into storage, transportation, and stacking, and recycling empty pallets, thereby reducing front-line workforce requirements and achieving cost reduction for the enterprise. Increase efficiency.
03 Dynamic information management
The AGV intelligent dispatching system dynamically manages tasks according to their priority and is connected to the customer’s WMS system. It can manage cargo status, warehouse location information, and inbound and outbound information in real-time. Compared with manual feedback recording, the information accuracy is greatly improved, and the logistics link is more streamlined. efficient;
04 Project quickly implemented
Effifork smart forklifts have mature experience in logistics smart transformation projects. The AGV team layout and debugging are fast. They can be put online in the short term to avoid long-term stagnation of logistics and fully meet the requirements of the rapid development of the new energy industry.
05 Automatic charging
No manual intervention is required, battery usage can be determined independently, and free time is used to automatically connect to the charging pile for charging. There is no need to wait for task execution, achieving more efficient unmanned logistics.
