Case Study | Enhancing Heavy-Duty Intralogistics with Autonomous Forklifts in Heavy Machinery Manufacturing
Video
Case Introduction
Heavy machinery manufacturing is defined by large-scale equipment, heavy payloads, and demanding safety requirements. As production volumes increase and product structures become more complex, traditional manual material handling methods are increasingly challenged in terms of efficiency, safety, and operational consistency.
To address these challenges, more heavy machinery manufacturers are turning to intelligent and flexible intralogistics solutions to support safer operations, improve throughput, and enable digitalized factory management.
The customer is a long-established heavy machinery manufacturing group based in Taiyuan, operating multiple heavy equipment plants. Its products are exported to more than 60 countries and regions, and the company is recognized as a modern intelligent equipment manufacturer with strong international competitiveness.
As part of its intralogistics upgrade, the customer partnered with Multiway Robotics to introduce an autonomous forklift solution designed to support safe, efficient, and unmanned material handling in heavy-load production environments.

Key Highlights
Multiway Robotics’ flexible intralogistics solution connects equipment flow and information flow across the entire facility.
The self-developed WCS (Warehouse Control System) centrally manages upstream and downstream equipment
The system integrates with scrap compaction machines, tablets (PADs), and other production systems
The RCS scheduling system dynamically plans optimal routes and coordinates multi-vehicle collaboration
This integrated architecture supports 24/7 continuous production while maintaining stable and efficient operations.
With the deployment of Multiway Robotics’ autonomous forklift solution, the customer achieved:
Safer handling of heavy loads and reduced labor risk
Higher inbound and outbound logistics efficiency
Lower dependence on manual labor
Improved system coordination and operational transparency
Digitalized logistics processes supporting data-driven management
The hardware-software integrated delivery not only meets the demands of heavy-load handling but also maximizes economic value by improving efficiency and supporting the customer’s broader digital transformation strategy.
