Intralogistics features multiple processes, mixed operations, and low coupling capacity between various intralogistics links. These factors lead to overall logistics inefficiency and looseness. In addition, due to the diversification of market demands, manufacturing enterprises are seeking partial logistics automation solutions and aspiring to break through the bottlenecks of multiple processes and diversification through an all-in-one and more integrated management system. 

 

As a global supplier of autonomous industrial vehicles and intralogistics automation solutions. VisionNav offers a comprehensive range of products, from  Automated Guided Forklifts (AGFs) to Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs). VisionNav covers intralogistics across all scenarios through various product combinations and flexible model expansions. This helps customers address end-to-end automation processes, ranging from material handling and warehouse entry and exit to rack loading and unloading, using various solutions that cater to different needs.

 

VisionNav Solution

AMR x AGF Fleet

VisionNav's automated handling solution combines autonomous forklifts and AMRs for various intralogistics scenarios. This integration bridges scenarios including material handling, inbound and outbound of the warehouse, and rack loading and unloading, effectively coordinating material handling of different frequencies seamlessly. The entire solution process is managed through VisionNav's integrated system, addressing the challenge of low coupling across multiple stages. The system assists enterprises in achieving a resolution to the challenges of intralogistics automation at one stop.

Solution Advantage

  1. More Intelligent: Tailored for diverse industries and scenarios, leveraging the RCS 2.0 for global dynamic decision management. This further elevates overall logistics efficiency and automation levels across different sectors.
  2. Enhanced Flexibility: Adapting to seasonal production demand, the solution allows for agile adjustments in deploying AMRs and autonomous forklifts, enabling modifications to project layouts accordingly.
  3. Effortless Scalability: VisionNav's all-in-one service eliminates the complexities of cross-system coordination among different devices, enabling projects to be easily replicated across various scenarios. This streamlined approach facilitates the deployment with a simple click.

 

Case Study

In a recent case study, VisionNav delivered a solution comprised of AMRs, a VNP 15 counterbalanced stacker, and the RCS(Robot Central System) 2.0. This integrated system was seamlessly integrated with robotic arms, enabling centralized management. The solution helps our clients increase intralogistics efficiency and develop their business output.

 

Inbound of The warehous

  1. AMR transports empty pallets to the palletizing station, awaiting the robotic arm for pallet stacking;
  2. Once the robotic arm completes pallet stacking, the AMR transports the fully stacked materials to the warehouse's area.
  3. The VNP 15 autonomous forklift retrieves the fully stacked materials from the docking area and transports them to the warehouse racks.;

Outbound of The warehous

  1. The VNP 15 autonomous forklift retrieves the materials from the racks and delivers them to the docking area within the warehouse.
  2. The AMR transports the materials from the docking area to the pallet disassembly station. The robotic arm then dismantles the required materials and transfers them onto the conveyor belt.
  3. The AMR transports the leftover materials back to the docking area, while the VNP 15 autonomous forklift transfers them to their designated storage locations within the warehouse.
