On January 9, at the 4th Shenzhen Robotics Association Member Congress and 2024 Shenzhen Robotics Awards Ceremony, LSLiDAR was honored with the 2024 Shenzhen Robotics Application Case Award for its project titled “Application of LiDAR 3D SLAM Technology-Based Unmanned Forklifts in Indoor and Outdoor Multi-Scenario Collaborative Operations in Manufacturing.” This project provides critical technological support and a successful model for the intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry.
Innovative Technology to Address Logistics Challenges
3D SLAM Natural Positioning and Navigation
LSLiDAR’s 3D SLAM unmanned forklifts leverage advanced LiDAR 3D SLAM natural positioning and navigation technology. Using multi-line LiDAR to collect 3D point cloud data, the system achieves precise positioning and autonomous navigation in complex indoor and outdoor environments without requiring additional localization infrastructure. This significantly reduces deployment costs while enhancing system flexibility and adaptability.
Comprehensive Safety Protections
To ensure safe logistics operations, the unmanned forklifts are equipped with up to 7 LiDAR sensors, enabling 360° full coverage. Combined with safety protection algorithms, the system monitors the environment in real-time, adjusts routes upon detecting obstacles, and effectively avoids collisions.
Intelligent Scheduling and Collaborative Operations
LSLiDAR’s self-developed Fleet Management System (FMS) and Warehouse Management System (WMS) use intelligent algorithms to dynamically dispatch multiple unmanned forklifts based on production demands. The system supports real-time path planning and optimization, coordinating the operation of up to hundreds of forklifts simultaneously to significantly boost logistics efficiency.
Diversified Innovation Driving Enterprise Development
Customized Solutions
Tailored to the specific requirements of various production sites and logistics needs, LSLiDAR developed a customized unmanned forklift solution for a power bank company. The solution optimized path planning and enhanced climbing capabilities, ensuring reliable operations across factory buildings and floors to meet personalized demands and improve competitiveness.
Comprehensive Support System
LSLiDAR has built an end-to-end service system encompassing pre-sale consultation, solution design, installation, commissioning, training, and after-sales support. By closely collaborating with enterprises, the company promptly resolves project challenges and provides professional support to facilitate intelligent transformation and enhance customer satisfaction.
Data-Driven Value-Added Services
In the digital era, LSLiDAR collects and analyzes operational data from unmanned forklifts, such as transportation frequency and runtime. Using big data technology, the company offers production optimization suggestions, fault prediction, and maintenance services to help enterprises improve efficiency and reduce costs.
Proven Results and Customer Praise
In the application case for a power bank company, LSLiDAR’s 3D SLAM unmanned forklift system achieved remarkable outcomes:
Significant Cost Savings
By deploying 6 unmanned forklifts to handle the workload of 10+ delivery personnel, the company recouped its investment within a year, saving considerable labor costs.
Повышение эффективности производства
The forklifts perform over 100 transport operations daily, with potential for further increases through two-way transport, fully meeting production demands and driving business growth.
Повышенная гибкость и интеллект
The forklift AGV system operates like a “Uber” for logistics, matching tasks to the nearest available vehicle without standby requirements. This greatly improves operational efficiency.
The warehouse manager, Mr. X, praised the system, stating that it not only reduced investment costs but also significantly improved production efficiency, delivering substantial economic benefits. Additionally, LSLiDAR’s professional service and prompt responsiveness ensured the smooth implementation of the project.
