With the continuous upgrading of industrial logistics automation and intelligent manufacturing, industrial logistics equipment is also constantly innovating, releasing more vitality and productivity. As one of the representative products of factory and logistics intelligence and automation, the unmanned forklift can realize the repetitive handling of production elements 24 hours a day, and greatly improve the operation efficiency. Therefore, with the advantages of safety, reliability, precision and efficiency, intelligent forklifts are gradually replacing traditional manual forklifts and are widely used in the manufacturing industry.
In 2021, the sales volume of AGV unmanned forklifts in China is 7,375 units, a year-on-year increase of 110.71%. With the gradual deepening of “machine substitution”, the rigid demand for unmanned forklifts will further emerge, and the market potential is huge.
In response to the development trend and trend of the industry, OFweek recently interviewed Xu Bing, general manager of Hangzhou Lianhe Technology Co., Ltd., to understand the current situation of unmanned forklifts and look forward to the future direction.
Develop together with the unmanned forklift industry
Before making unmanned forklifts, Mr. Xu Bing workedrobotAnd the traditional unmanned forklift industry, he realized that the traditional forklift was undergoing major changes, and the automation equipment showed great vitality, he decisively entered the unmanned forklift industry,Founded Hangzhou Lianhe Technology Co., Ltd. in 2017, focusing on unmanned forklift system solutions. At present, it has more than 50 national patents and software copyrights, and has been rated as “Hangzhou Young Eagle Plan Enterprise”, “Science and Technology Enterprise”, “Hundred Talents Plan Enterprise” and “National High-tech Enterprise”..
Based on the accumulation in the field of forklifts, the promotion of policies and the demand of the market, Lianhe has the complete technical capabilities from the design of the unmanned forklift body to the upper-level software development, and has a full range of unmanned forklift products and intelligent warehousing software products.
Taking high-level access as an example, Lianhe’s hardware products can quickly and accurately identify pallet identification, shelf identification and storage space. Once the shelf changes or the ground subsides, the forklift can adjust the operation in time, and the software system will also determine the risk in time. Send out a new commander or call staff to ensure the safety and smoothness of the operation from both hardware and software aspects.
Deeply ploughing the industry, empowering users
Currently,Lianhe’s products are mainly used for high-level access warehouses and production line distribution, and have been widely used in electric power, military industry, medicine, auto parts and other industries.Mr. Xu Bing said that as long as there is demand, Lianhe will bring intelligent and automated products and experiences to customers.
Aiming at the lithium battery industry where automation equipment has been competing to enter the market in recent years, Lianhe has also made a layout. At present, there are projects in the process of landing. Its main advantages are reflected in the cluster scheduling system independently developed by Lianhe, which benefits from advanced scheduling algorithms and With high intelligent decision-making ability, the system supports functions such as dynamic planning of driving paths and automatic unlocking of complex paths. .
future,Based on the high load capacity of forklifts and the organizational capacity of the cluster scheduling system, Lianhe Technology will focus on high-load, high-position and high-density access scenarios.Avoid homogenization competition from the application point of view. While continuously cultivating technology, polishing products and deepening application scenarios, we will continue to grasp the needs of the industry and users, and bring more and better overall solutions for intelligent manufacturing and intelligent logistics.
