In response to these demands, Multiway Robotics revolutionized the logistics industry by providing a full-stack intelligent logistics solution with an unmanned forklift as the hardware carrier for a leading national railway logistics company located in Xi'an. This solution helped the company create the first ever smart warehouse that operates without human intervention, offering unparalleled automation of operations, visual representation of inventory data, and significantly improved cargo turnover efficiency.
The company, which is a well-established global leader in logistics supply chain management and a large third-party logistics provider in western China, had a massive volume of inbound and outbound cargo. In an effort to provide more efficient and reliable logistics services, the company partnered with Zuami Robotics to upgrade their entire logistics process. This involved multiple operational scenarios such as cargo loading and unloading platforms, receiving areas, shipping areas, and picking areas, among others.
After considering various factors such as the on-site environment, cargo load, height, and vehicle compatibility, the company opted for the balanced heavy-duty autonomous forklift MW-SE20 and combined it with self-developed software - the WMS Warehouse Management System and the RCS Fleet Management System. This integration effectively connected the flow of goods, equipment, and information and enabled the company to monitor and manage the operation with ease. The 4600 square meter assembly center could now carry out inbound and outbound storage operations with no error without any manual intervention, handling tens of thousands of pieces of cargo with ease.

The WMS Warehouse Management System, in particular, visualized the management of cargo information in real-time. The autonomous forklift MW-SE20 was designed to be compatible with various types of pallets, such as T-shaped and S-shaped, and could store goods according to their type. The WMS system updated the information of the goods instantly, enabling quick response to tasks and efficient and accurate management of inventory data, operation management, location management, equipment health monitoring, and intelligent report management.
The RCS Fleet Management System, on the other hand, implemented optimal path planning and task-near dispatch. When multiple vehicles were required to work together, the dispatching system could support multiple vehicles running in the same place, quickly plan the optimal route, and complete the task in the shortest possible time. It also supported dynamic avoidance and intelligent coordination of multiple vehicles in complex scenarios, effectively ensuring safety and improving overall efficiency.

In conclusion, the solution of replacing the traditional manual handling mode with an unmanned forklift not only reduced costs and increased efficiency throughout the logistics process, but it also optimized the overall logistics efficiency and improved the operational efficiency of the enterprise by establishing effective connections in every section of the process. The integration of software and hardware has transformed the way cargo is managed, making it a more precise, efficient, and safe operation.
