Recommended Use Cases

Indoor Logistics Transport using VisionNav VNP15

Indoor Logistics Transport using VisionNav VNP15 This application case is an automated loading and unloading solution that utilizes VisionNav's VNP15 to automate the process of transporting and stacking packed products. Based on strict safety features, it minimizes changes to existing processes, enables unmanned loading/unloading tasks, and allows for effective monitoring and control of the work status.

LG CNS Smart Logistics Equipment (Hybrid Wheel Sorter)

This application case features the LG CNS Hybrid Wheel Sorter, a smart logistics solution that enhances sorting accuracy and stability by improving the structural drawbacks of conventional circular roller wheel sorters through a belt-type application. It is an ideal solution for scenarios requiring the stable sorting of long items, sacks, and irregular-shaped cargo. The Belt-Type Wheel Sorter is a next-generation wheel sorter developed to overcome sorting errors caused by the narrow contact surfaces of traditional circular rollers. By replacing circular rollers with belt-type rollers, the contact area with the cargo is widened, significantly improving both sorting precision and stability. Additionally, its modular configuration ensures easy installation and maintenance. This system enables the construction of efficient logistics centers capable of handling high throughput by stably transporting and sorting diverse types of goods.

Smart Logistics Management using 42 Units of Geek+ P800 (AMR)

This application case features an automated picking and replenishment system utilizing 42 units of Geek+ P800 mobile robots within a logistics center. By implementing picking and replenishment stations, the system uses self-learning algorithms to optimize warehouse layouts based on frequency of use, maximizing storage density and space utilization.
