Case Introduction




As business volume continues to grow, traditional logistics models are increasingly unable to meet modern enterprises’ requirements for efficiency, scalability, and digital visibility. Logistics robots—combining automation, intelligence, and system integration—have become a key driver for enterprises seeking to reduce labor dependency, improve operational efficiency, and lower safety risks.



Recently, Dongfang Electric Control Equipment Co., Ltd., a state-owned holding subsidiary of Dongfang Electric Corporation (DEC), successfully implemented an integrated intelligent logistics solution provided by Multiway Robotics. The solution combines autonomous forklifts, four-way shuttle systems, and AMRs, marking a significant milestone in the company’s logistics automation journey.

The project is located in Sichuan Province and was implemented within the customer’s existing factory infrastructure. By deploying intelligent handling and storage equipment, together with a warehouse management system and on-site scheduling system, the project established a full-process intelligent logistics system supported by 5G high-speed communication.

Four-Way Shuttle-Based Automated Storage
  • Four-way shuttles handle unmanned material movement within the storage area

  • The WMS (Warehouse Management System) manages inbound, internal storage, and outbound operations

  • The WMS integrates with the upper-level ERP system, enabling automated inventory accounting and data synchronization

  • Through the integration of hardware and software, the solution enables synchronized logistics flow and information flow across the entire warehouse.
