Autonomous forklift
Overview
In unmanned forklift applications, 3D cameras provide stable three-dimensional perception capabilities for forklift-type mobile robots. For neatly stacked goods and standardised storage locations, the cameras can rapidly identify pallet orientations and storage positions, enabling high-precision, high-efficiency loading and unloading operations;
In complex and dynamic warehouse environments, the camera uses point cloud data to accurately reconstruct the spatial configurations of goods, shelving and obstacles, guiding the autonomous forklift to plan its route in real time and avoid collisions, thereby ensuring the safe and efficient handling of goods.
Application Pain Points
-
The surface of the palletised containers shows signs of wear and reflection, and the labels are made of a variety of materials, making them difficult to read -
Goods are stacked densely in the warehouse, and the narrow aisles obstruct access, making it difficult to position the forklift -
Lighting conditions within the warehouse are uneven and there is a significant amount of dust, which can easily affect the accuracy of environmental sensing
Advantage Description
-
Compile a complete 3D point cloud of the warehouse area to enable precise positioning of pallets and storage locations
-
Intelligently identifies the orientation of palletised goods to assist in planning forklift travel routes
-
Resistant to dust and light interference in warehouses; suitable for heavy-duty, all-weather operating environments
