Blue Whale TMT channel april 7 news, Megvii in the intelligent tray four-way vehicle system new product launch launch of self-developed intelligent pallet four-way vehicle PS1500 series normal temperature version and cold storage version, introduced the "Megvii River Map" software platform in the large-scale pallet four-way vehicle project to solve large-scale cluster scheduling application cases, and shared the four-way vehicle and AMR, robotic arm, visual inventory workstation combination of the application scheme, announced the global search for system integrators and other partners.
According to reports, as a new generation of pallet flexible logistics solutions, Megvii intelligent pallet four-way vehicle system has the advantages of high-density storage, strong site adaptability, flexible expansion, short delivery cycle, etc., and can provide automated and intelligent warehousing solutions with a better return on investment ratio (ROI) for entity enterprises.
In the era of digital economy, entity enterprises are facing many challenges such as diversified customer needs, real-time order fulfillment, rapid iteration of business models, labor shortages, rising urban land costs, and rapid growth of their own material categories and stocks under the uncertain situation of the global economy. However, factors such as high implementation difficulty, large investment, high requirements for warehouses, and high difficulties in future expansion have hindered the further popularization of automated and intelligent warehousing.
Xu Qingcai, head of Megvii Logistics Business Unit
In this regard, Xu Qingcai, head of Megvii's logistics business unit, said: "Logistics system integration is developing in the direction of standardization and modularization, and flexible, low initial input costs, easy to deploy and expand the solution will benefit more enterprises." To this end, Megvii has launched the Intelligent Pallet Four-way Vehicle System, aiming to create a new generation of pallet flexible logistics solutions. ”
Megvii said that the reason why the four-way vehicle system is called "a new generation of pallet flexible logistics solutions" is mainly because it has two major characteristics of discrete equipment and distributed control, which can be flexibly combined as needed like building blocks. Unlike traditional automation equipment, which can only work in a fixed path, four-way vehicles can run the whole warehouse in one car, and can increase or decrease vehicles according to changes in demand such as off-peak season and business growth.
Fang Dianjun, chief scientist of the Fraunhofer Logistics Research Institute in China, chinese dean of the Sino-German Intelligent Technology Research Institute, professor and doctoral supervisor of Tongji University, pointed out, "Compared with traditional pallet solutions, four-way vehicles have the advantages of high flexibility, strong site adaptability, energy saving and environmental protection, and large space for capacity improvement. Although the earliest technical concept of four-way vehicle originated in Europe, the Chinese market has rich application scenarios, and now in terms of structural design and intelligent scheduling software, Chinese companies are already in the first echelon of the world. ”
Tang Wenbin, co-founder of Megvii and head of production and research of the logistics business unit, introduced a user case of Megvii at the press conference. The user is a raw material manufacturer that requires 8,000 storage bits and supports 24-hour continuous production in the factory. Under the same area, compared with the stacker crane solution, the space utilization rate of the Megvii four-way truck solution has increased by more than 20%, the cost of pallets has been saved by more than 40%, the project implementation cycle has been shortened by more than 50%, the electricity cost has been saved by more than 65%, and the installed capacity has been reduced by more than 65%.
Specifically, Megvii creates the differentiation of intelligent four-way vehicle systems from three aspects: hardware, software and application scenarios. As a stable and reliable intelligent hardware, megvii pallet four-way psyche PS1500 has a fuselage thickness of only 125mm, no-load reversing time of 2.5s, load commutation time of 3.5s, lifting time of 2.5s, and no-load acceleration of 2m/s2, achieving a 30% increase in operating efficiency under comprehensive working conditions. Based on Megvii's mature robot platform, the same platform as Megvii T series and S series AMR, the ontology software system, power management system, chip controller, two-dimensional code camera, etc. are fully reused, and the platform has been verified by many AMR deliveries. Obstacle avoidance laser *6 (Laoyi Measurement, German industrial grade laser ranging sensor), Pallet Detection*3 (Panasonic photoelectric switch), lithium iron phosphate battery / lithium titanate battery (battery cell from NINGDE times / Toshiba), the core components are selected from the head supplier. The battery capacity is 60Ah, the power consumption is 40W, the charging current is 50A, and it can be charged for 1 hour and work continuously for 8 hours.

As an intelligent software for super cluster scheduling and a global central control system based on AI technology, Megvii River Map Software Platform can connect Megvii's own and third-party automation and intelligent logistics equipment to achieve efficient collaboration of cluster operations. In a benchmarking project in the field of clothing, Megvii River Chart dynamically manages more than 10,000 commodity SKUs and tens of thousands of warehouse locations, connects and dispatches more than 80 four-way vehicles in the whole warehouse, and dynamically collaborates and flexibly dispatches multiple processes to achieve efficient FCL picking.
"Megvii four-way vehicle + X" is an innovative application scenario, Megvii four-way vehicle + AMR: four-way vehicle three-dimensional storage + AMR ground pallet handling, instead of "stacker + conveyor line", more flexible, space utilization rate greatly improved, less total investment, short project implementation cycle. Megvii four-way vehicle + depalletizing robot: four-way truck pallet storage + robotic arm depalletizing, to achieve fully unmanned whole-box picking; the use of the same robotic arm for depalletizing and mixed palletizing, directly complete the outgoing pallet aggregation; at night, the robot arm can be used to merge with the SKU pallet to improve space utilization. Megvii four-way vehicle + visual inventory workstation: Based on Megvii computer vision technology, pallet counting and inventory; can use non-working hours such as night to carry out unmanned inventory of the whole warehouse; accurate counting to the box; photo archiving, easy to check back.

Finally, Tang Wenbin said: "In addition to providing services for end users, Megvii is also seeking partners around the world, hoping to provide our products to system integrators in the form of sub-warehouses, form links with more external systems, create richer solutions, and truly bring value to customers." ”
