Amid the rapid iteration of the consumer electronics industry, Shenzhen JOWAY, a benchmark enterprise in the sector, is leveraging technology to tackle the dual challenges of production logistics efficiency and cost control. Through its deep collaboration with LSLiDAR on a 3D SLAM unmanned forklift system for multi-machine coordination across indoor and outdoor scenarios, the company has successfully achieved intelligent upgrades. Recently, this project was honored with the 14th LT China Logistics Technology Innovative Application Award, setting a new benchmark for intelligent manufacturing and smart logistics.
Overcoming Complex Scenarios: Addressing Traditional Logistics Challenges
JOWAY’s production site faced challenges such as uneven floor connections and steep slopes, making traditional manual forklifts inefficient and unsafe. To break these limitations, LSLiDAR partnered with JOWAY to implement a 3D SLAM unmanned forklift system, aiming to achieve fully automated raw material and finished goods transportation while reducing labor dependency and boosting production efficiency by over 30%.
Technology-Driven: Four Core Breakthroughs Reshaping Smart Logistics
High-Precision 3D SLAM Natural Navigation Technology
Utilizing LSLiDAR’s self-developed multi-line LiDAR and 3D SLAM navigation technology, the system constructs a high-precision 3D factory map, enabling seamless indoor-outdoor operations with high positioning accuracy for stable forklift navigation in complex environments.
Comprehensive Safety Protection System
With 7 LiDAR sensors and a 360° collision avoidance algorithm, the system provides zero blind spots for real-time obstacle detection. It supports emergency stops, rerouting, and multi-level safety responses, ensuring safe coordination between personnel, vehicles, and goods.
Intelligent Fleet Scheduling
The self-developed FMS fleet management system integrates seamlessly with WCS, dynamically optimizing route planning and assigning tasks to the nearest forklift. With 6 unmanned forklifts, the system achieves over 100 precise transport tasks daily, significantly enhancing efficiency.
Pallet Recognition for High-Precision Handling
Using a 128-line hybrid solid-state LiDAR combined with AI algorithms, the system accurately identifies pallets in complex environments, ensuring highly precise handling and reducing cargo damage risks.
Value Leap: A Smart Logistics Revolution with ROI in One Year
With 6 unmanned forklifts deployed, JOWAY has replaced 10+ manual operators, achieving 100+ transport tasks per day and increasing production efficiency by 35%. The company achieved a full return on investment (ROI) within one year.
Industry Recognition: Defining the Future of Smart Logistics with Innovation
This project was awarded the LT China Logistics Technology Innovative Application Award for its technological innovation and practical impact, reaffirming LSLiDAR’s leadership in industrial-grade SLAM technology. A JOWAY warehouse manager commented:
“The system not only reduces costs and increases efficiency but also optimizes production processes through data-driven insights, providing the industry with a replicable smart logistics model.”
Future Outlook: Expanding Boundaries, Unlocking Infinite Possibilities
LSLiDAR will continue to deepen customer collaboration, expand applications in production lines and intelligent warehousing, and drive the fusion of LiDAR technology with AI algorithms. With smarter and more efficient solutions, LSLiDAR is committed to empowering the global manufacturing industry’s transformation and upgrading.
