Implementing automated guided vehicle (AGV) technology in manufacturing operations has proven highly advantageous, resulting in significant reductions in operating expenses and enhanced material throughput. However, the benefits of this technology extend beyond these primary advantages. Implementing material handling automation in the first-mile process can enhance a company's profitability and customer contentment across its warehouses.
The transportation of materials and products within a warehouse and distribution center is facilitated using automated pallet jacks. The newly developed pallet jack operates differently from traditional ones. Batteries commonly power these devices and can transport loads weighing several tons. Implementing autonomous pallet jacks in warehouse operations has been observed to enhance efficiency and safety.
These machines are capable of continuous operation without the need for breaks, can navigate through narrow spaces, and have the ability to detect and avoid obstacles and individuals. In addition, it is common practice to integrate them with warehouse management systems to optimize the flow of goods and reduce human errors.
Autonomous forklifts and other AGVs must adhere to safety standards outlined in the EN 1525 and EN 1526 rules, which deal with automated technology. These laws should aid in adopting autonomous forklifts and other automated material-handling equipment. European countries were the first to utilize automated warehouse material handling systems. Furthermore, localized distribution hubs are now increasingly essential due to Brexit. For instance, post-Brexit warehouse availability was at a record low. In addition, there is a higher requirement for quick order fulfilment due to rising e-commerce sales.
