The robot sounds a horn, triggers an alert and completes the current task before automatically going to a battery room. Hyster robotic lift trucks can be programmed to recharge based on a predetermined state of charge.

#FLEX TRUCK AGV WITH ROBOTIC CASE PICK MANUAL#

Like a manual lift truck, the battery life and charge for a robotic lift truck depends on the type of battery and manufacturer. How long does a fully charged battery last and what happens when the battery gets low? Yes, but there are safety clearances set by B56.5.ģ. Can robotic lift trucks pass each other in the aisle? The operator can either push a button, step on the truck platform or pull down the tiller.Ģ. How does the truck switch from automated to manual mode? Our Robotic End Rider requires a minimum weight of 600 pounds, though please note, there are ways to handle lighter pallets.ġ. No, but our robotic lift trucks require Grade A pallets or those that meet quality standards including no broken boards and no damaged or replaced stringers. An application can start with one unit and then expand as desired. How many units are needed to justify the system? No macadam or vinyl (due to static energy)Ĥ.What type of surface and grade is best for a robotic lift truck? Facilities with walls, rack and building columns blocked by stacked loadsģ.Environments less than 32 degrees Fahrenheit.What applications are not appropriate for robotic lift trucks? What are the best scenarios for a Hyster robotic lift truck?Ģ.

#FLEX TRUCK AGV WITH ROBOTIC CASE PICK SOFTWARE#

Ground sensors and drive-by scanners report to the robot host software to dispatch robotic lift trucks within the proper zone.ġ. How do robotic lift trucks manage work, such as recognizing when docks need to be emptied? However, major changes do require assistance.ĥ. Alternative paths are built in during installation. If a path change is needed, does Hyster need to make the adjustment?įor most changes, no. They are not currently available as an aftermarket option to be installed in the field.Ĥ. No, robotic lift trucks are available for factory order only. Can I adapt the robotic technology to an existing Hyster® truck?

Yes, the Robot Host Software communicates your WMS/ERP via standard or custom communication to follow business rules and protocols.ģ. Will the robot interface with my WMS or ERP?

#FLEX TRUCK AGV WITH ROBOTIC CASE PICK INSTALL#

No need to install targets, ground wires or reflectors or make other modifications – existing infrastructure is used to program and guide the truck.Ģ. It uses the environment as a map, with LiDAR technology to self-locate and detect obstructions.

We currently have robots in the field that have lasted over five years. In most cases, a robotic lift truck can last longer than a standard truck due to the abuse often associated with manual trucks. How long might it take to see a return on investment?įor multishift applications, some operations can achieve return on investment in less than two years. While this may reduce headcount, employees can be reallocated to engaging, value-added tasks.Ĥ. Do robotic lift trucks replace humans?Īdding robotic lift trucks is more about replacing the cycle of hiring and training for repetitive, turnover-prone positions. Robots sense both ground level and suspended items, such as a ladder hanging off a carrier.ģ. They adhere to the B56.5 safety standard and site-specific safety protocols. Robots provide consistent performance in repetitive applications prone to high employee turnover, helping provide relief from the constant cycle of hiring and training. How can automation address labor challenges?
