With the rapid development and changes of the market, there is a high demand for pallet solutions in logistics and warehousing, both domestically and internationally. As the name suggests, a pallet solution is simply understood as placing products on pallets for storage, handling, and picking.
Faced with the demand for tray type solutions, the common solution in the industry is forklift type flat storage. This solution is essentially a manual warehouse, often requiring the configuration of forklifts and hiring some forklift workers for handling. But this solution relies on a large amount of manual labor and insufficient storage density, increasingly facing challenges.
Adding new members to the integrated software and hardware product system to expand market space
Smart logistics is one of the mainstream businesses of Hebei Woke, commonly known as the “HEGERLS robot”. It is a major output port for Hebei Woke to use AI technology to assist enterprises in digital transformation of the supply chain. Since 1998, when it was involved in the sales and installation of logistics equipment, Hebei Woke has established its own brand “HEGERLS”, And independently develop intelligent automated mobile robots (shuttle cars, mother and child cars, two-way shuttle cars, four-way cars, multi-layer shuttle cars, AMR robots, material box robots, conveyor sorting machines, single column stackers, double column/material box stackers, high-level stackers, high-speed stackers, heavy-duty stackers, elevators, mobile forklifts, etc.) and HEGERLS software (WMS, WCS, RCS, etc.) under HEGERLS, Embark on building a strategic layout for robot product clusters.
In order to solve the above problems, Hebei Woke Metal Products Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Hebei Woke”) has launched a brand new self-developed intelligent tray four-way shuttle system. The new tray four-way vehicle system of HEGERLS is a more flexible innovative solution around tray storage and handling scenarios. Unlike the stacker crane system, the four-way vehicle can move freely and flexibly on the shelves without special requirements for the shape of the shelves. It can effectively avoid interference with obstacles such as fire protection, HVAC, lighting, columns, beams, etc. in buildings, and achieve a more flexible pallet solution.
The core components of the HEGERLS four-way vehicle system are all selected from suppliers with strict quality assurance. At the same time, 6 obstacle avoidance laser sensors are added to the front, back, left, and right sides of the vehicle to ensure safe operation. It can work continuously for 8 hours after charging for 1 hour. And the ontology software system, power management system, chip controller, QR code camera, etc. are fully reused, and this platform has been verified by numerous AMR delivery projects.
The automation of a warehouse can also be composed of pallet unit automation, box unit automation, piece unit automation, as well as shelf automation and handling automation. Hebei Woke can further promote the intelligence of the entire warehouse by launching the HEGERLS intelligent four-way vehicle, which makes the pallet, the most basic unit inside the warehouse, intelligent and automated.
Dynamic scheduling of distributed software
Due to the involvement of multi vehicle scheduling and collaborative operations with related equipment such as elevators in the four-way tray vehicle system, the ability of scheduling software will directly have a significant impact on system efficiency. Hebei Woke is also one of the earliest AI companies to enter the logistics field, possessing AI algorithm capabilities such as vision, scheduling, and electromechanical control. It is also one of the few companies with independently developed deep learning frameworks. In response, it has also launched the AI enabled intelligent logistics operating system HEGERLS software platform, integrating AI technology with logistics automation systems to establish a 3A intelligent logistics solution (AS/RS+AMR+AI).
A global central control system based on AI technology, the HEGERLS software platform is like a “warehouse brain”, which can connect Hebei Woke’s own products and third-party automated and intelligent logistics equipment, achieve efficient collaboration of cluster operations, improve the intelligence of four-way vehicles through AI algorithms, support multi vehicle operation at the same layer, self detect and avoid obstacles, and increase system security.
The HEGERLS software platform will use a series of intelligent scheduling algorithms and deep operations optimization strategies, such as robot optimal path allocation, efficient multi robot pathfinding, global task coordination, intelligent diagnosis, and anomaly self-healing, to enable efficient collaboration among large-scale four-way vehicle clusters.
As of now, the sales volume of Higris intelligent four-way vehicles has reached hundreds, with over a hundred signed projects covering various segmented fields such as new energy, 3C industry, semiconductors, automotive parts, commercial circulation, food cold chain, medical, footwear, chemical fiber, mechanical manufacturing, and intelligent manufacturing.
Hagrid Robotics will provide users with various service forms. The future integration of Hebei Woke logistics system will be like a menu that can be freely combined and selected! Hebei Woke also hopes to find more strategic partners both domestically and internationally, and integrate them to reach numerous customers.
