Lift efficiency

robotic trucks not only provide the increased efficiency
you’re looking for, but also frees up your existing workforce
to add more value to your operation.
By deploying robotics you can reconfigure your warehouse to
reduce operating costs, increase operational efficiency and
minimise accidents and damage to goods. Robotics are ideal
for performing repetitive tasks such as movement of pallets in the
warehouse environment and loading and unloading.
In today’s ever more competitive
business environment, the pressure
is always on to deliver greater
productivity levels and quicker
delivery times.

here today.
Tomorrow’s technology
On-board navigational intelligence means that trucks calculate
the most efficient paths between points, and can reroute to
avoid congestion. Trucks are able to co-ordinate with traffic
management software to optimise routes and utilisation, and
reduce congestion.
Equipped with LIDAR (Light Imaging Detection and Ranging),
a laser scanning system dedicated to navigation, our trucks
navigate by recognising structural features such as walls, building
columns or racks. They use these features to self-locate and
transport loads throughout your warehouse, so there is no need
for tape, wires, reflectors or magnets to aid guidance.
Putting your environment on the map
Stage 1: As an engineer manually moves the robot truck around, it
uses the truck navigation radar to record the building environment
and transcribe it into a 2D map.
Stage 2: The map is refined by the installation engineer. Virtual
routes with pick-up and placement points are added to this
reference map and the on-board navigational intelligence on the
trucks calculates the most efficient paths between points.
Stage 3: This reference map is integrated into the robot’s computer
and compared with what it sees in real time via its laser scanner,
enabling it to self-locate and move.
The geoguidance navigation
technology at the heart of our robotic
trucks is based on a simple principle,
trucks learn and recognise the
uniqueness of the warehouse.

Stage 3 – Reference map is integrated into the robot’s computer.
Stage 1 – Engineer manually moves the robot around the warehouse.
Stage 2 – Map from the warehouse is ‘cleaned up’ to create virtual routes.

Costs
The use of robotic trucks allows you
to perform repetitive tasks such as
movement of pallets in the warehouse
environment, and loading and
unloading in a more cost effective way
– saving you time and money.
Robotic trucks offer a number of key
cost advantages over conventional
automatic guided vehicles AVGs and
laser navigation trucks.
Not only will they improve productivity, picking up, transporting
and dropping off pallets independently and reliably, an automated
operation may also aid in reducing product damage and accidents.
Yale robotic technology can be added to standard models of
the MO25 Low level order picker, MO50-70T Tow tractor and
MC10-15 Counterbalance stacker.
This allows you to have the benefit of both robotic and manually
operated trucks; your trucks can redeployed for manual tasks
such as picking, loading/unloading and then simply returned to
automated tasks when required.
Higher efficiency, lower costs

Truck robotics
Thanks to scalable automation, our robotic lift trucks offer
a unique level of flexibility in use, accommodating any
changes in demand and constantly shifting traffic patterns.
Our robotic trucks locate themselves in real-time, perceiving and
interacting with the environment.
With our robotic truck manager software, it’s possible to control
traffic, assign orders to individual trucks and interface with systems
such as ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and WMS (Warehouse
Management System) or equipment such as automatic doors,
conveyors and production machine.
The geoguidance navigation technology works without the need
for dedicated infrastructure, enabling it to integrate easily into
existing operations. It simply maps the physical features and
structures to self-locate and navigate, which means it’s quick and
easy to modify or create entirely new paths when there are
changes to the environment, or to the missions that your robots
are required to complete.
By switching from automatic mode to manual mode at the touch
of a button, or movement of the tiller, the robotic lift truck can easily
accommodate changing operational needs, giving the operator the
opportunity to take control when appropriate and perform other
tasks as and when required.

Year award.
The robotic technology at the heart of Yale robotic trucks is the
result of 10 years’ research and development in mobile robotics by
Balyo. It enables fleets of robotic trucks to self-locate in real time
and navigate inside a building with no added infrastructure, unlike
other automatic trucks or AGVs.
This solution is fully connected to the customer environment
and can be easily integrated into current industrial and logistics
processes. For greater simplicity, Yale robotic trucks can also be
used manually, enabling operators to regain control to perform a
task at any time.
