Outdoor Logistics Transport using VisionNav VNPA15 & VNQ40

This application case features an automated logistics solution that uses VisionNav’s VNQ40 autonomous towing tractor to transport loaded products between factory buildings. Powered by advanced autonomous driving technology, this system performs inter-plant transfers with strict safety protocols, enabling real-time detection and avoidance of external obstacles or automatic emergency stops to ensure a secure operating environment.

Components

Robot	Robot 1: VisionNav VNQ40 (Autonomous Towing Tractor) Max Payload: 4,000kg (Towing capacity) Dimensions: 2,040 x 934 x 2,400mm Weight: 960kg Robot 2: VisionNav VNPA15 (Autonomous Counterbalanced Truck) Lifting Height: 0 to 4,500mm Max Payload: 1,500kg (Standard spec; application noted at 800kg) Min. Stacking Aisle Width: 3,200mm Dimensions: 2,790 x 1,185 x 2,110mm Weight: 2,640kg

Workflow

STEP 1.	Loading: Products to be transferred are loaded onto the tractor's trailers (facilitated by the VNPA15).
STEP 2.	Transport: The VNQ40 tractor performs autonomous transit between designated factory zones.
STEP 3.	Arrival: The tractor stops precisely at the designated unloading zone for the next process.
STEP 4.	Unloading: The transported products are unloaded, completing the logistics cycle.

Key Features

Superior Operational Performance and Safety

High Precision: Utilizes Visual-SLAM technology to achieve positioning accuracy of ±5mm and navigation precision of ±10mm.
Human-Like Agility: Capable of navigating complex paths and avoiding obstacles at speeds comparable to human operators.
Advanced Protection: Ensures maximum safety through a 5-stage safety protection system and redundant control architectures.
Seamless Integration: Works in perfect synchronization with VisionNav’s automated forklifts to provide end-to-end process automation.
24/7 Productivity: Enables continuous, round-the-clock operations to maximize throughput.

Minimized Deployment Time and Costs

Rapid Setup: Self-localization and autonomous path-finding capabilities significantly reduce installation time and infrastructure costs (no magnetic tape or reflectors needed).
Flexible Layouts: Easily adapts to changes in factory layouts or new task locations without physical modifications to the site.
Scalable Fleet Management: Capable of optimizing and managing a large-scale fleet of over 100 units simultaneously.

Implementation Results

ROI Period	28 months
Key Metrics	Replaced 12 manual forklift operators with a fleet of 8 AGVs and 3 autonomous tractors. Achieved a throughput of 24 Pallets per hour over a 12-hour shift.
Client Feedback	By automating not only indoor forklift tasks but also outdoor logistics transfers, we were able to minimize the costs associated with building separate infrastructure for connecting front-end and back-end processes.
