The one-stop intelligent solution brings efficient, superior and intelligent digital experience to the express logistics industry, and further helps express logistics to become intelligent and automated.
Hello · Small move, let the courier free his hands
Zhang Qi, sales director of Suzhou Dolphin Star Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. in Shanghai
Zhang Qi introduced the Dolphin Star Xiaobo AGV from the aspects of man-machine mixing, cargo placement, labor intensity and cost in the express delivery industry with real cases, which can fully meet the needs of the current express delivery industry.
He said that "everything is simple", which is Dolphin Star's always insistence on pursuing the ultimate user experience. The design of the "Xiaomo" AGV body is small and simple, the required channel width is only 2000mm, and it can run freely in a narrow factory environment, which greatly saves transportation space, allows more space for production, warehousing, etc., and realizes value upgrading; Higher positioning accuracy, can realize the recognition of the offset ± 10° pallet, and accurately fork to meet most high-precision work needs. Multi-sensor fusion perception can achieve efficient human target recognition, intelligent target following, and finally human-machine following. The operating efficiency will not be discounted because of the small operating space, but it will run faster, and the speed can reach 1.5m/s, improving the efficiency of production line transportation. No network required, from boot to final operation, simple and convenient operation and deployment, no need for environmental transformation, the whole process of setting prompt information, 7 steps are completely done. According to the task requirements, the vehicle operating state can be flexibly switched. This is the basic realization of human-machine integration; In addition, the APP software tailored for "Xiaomo" is more convenient and fast to use with PAD, without switching between various software/controllers, transparent to customers, and improving user stickiness.
Unmanned technology and new trends of intelligent logistics
Li Zhiqiang, sales director of Anhui Yufeng Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd
Starting from the company's development history and the unmanned technology of intelligent logistics, Li Zhiqiang analyzed the difficulties in loading and unloading, review, picking, and large/difficult handling of smart logistics.
In recent years, the concept of unmanned has gradually been applied to various industries in society, and related to logistics, there are unmanned sorting robots, unmanned trucks and unmanned forklifts, and more and more new equipment has begun to be put into practical use.
Li Zhiqiang said: traditional logistics handling in loading and unloading, review, picking, and large/difficult parts handling and other links have many drawbacks, through smart logistics, increase equipment technology upgrading, improve the level of automation, to achieve the strategy of machine replacement of people, can effectively solve the existing pain points of warehousing logistics management. However, with the acceleration of intelligence in the logistics industry, a single robot (AGV/AMR) is sometimes no longer applicable, and many scenarios require multiple AGVs to cooperate together, so multi-vehicle hybrid scheduling is also an inevitable trend of development.
Yufeng Intelligent applies automation, informatization and intelligent emerging industrial technology to the production and logistics automation of industrial enterprises (distribution, sorting, detection, packaging, handling, transportation, storage and manufacturing information management of all materials between raw and auxiliary materials and finished products), and continues to make breakthroughs in intelligent logistics robot technology, especially in the collaborative operation of multiple intelligent robots, and the synchronous operation of multiple AGVs is no longer a problem.
