Equipment such as forklifts, AGVs, palletizers, shuttle carts, and conveyor/sorting systems constitute the core operational units of the logistics chain. Their level of intelligence directly dictates the overall efficiency, safety, and cost of the logistics system. The fundamental force driving this transformation is the pervasive presence of sensor technology. Acting as the "eyes," "ears," and "sensory nerves" of logistics machinery, it empowers machines to perceive their environment, interpret conditions, and execute tasks with precision.
The Forklift: Its Evolution from 'Brawn' to 'Brains'
The modern intelligent forklift is the ultimate expression of sensor technology application.
Recommended : 2D LiDAR sensor, PSE-CM3 series photoelectric sensor, LR12X-Y series inductive sensor
AGV - The "Smart Foot" for Autonomous Movement
The "intelligence" of AGVs is almost entirely endowed by sensors
Recommended products: 2D LiDAR sensor, PSE-CC series photoelectric sensor, PSE-TM series photoelectric sensor, etc
Palletizing machine - An efficient and precise "mechanical arm"
The core of a palletizing machine lies in the accuracy and efficiency of repeat positioning
Recommended products: Light curtain sensor, PSE-TM series photoelectric sensor, PSE-PM series photoelectric sensor, etc
Shuttle Vehicle - The "Flash" of High-density Warehousing
Shuttle vehicles run at high speed in narrow shelf aisles, which places extremely high demands on the response speed and reliability of sensors
Recommended products: PSE-TM series photoelectric sensors, PSE-CM series photoelectric sensors, PDA series measurement sensors, etc
Conveying/sorting equipment - The "highway police" for parcels
The conveying/sorting system is the throat of the logistics hub, and sensors ensure its smooth operation
Recommended products: Code readers, light curtain sensors, PSE-YC series photoelectric sensors, PSE-BC series photoelectric sensors, etc
With the development of Internet of Things (iot) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, the application of sensors in logistics vehicles is evolving towards a trend of "multi-sensor fusion, AI empowerment, cloud-based status, and predictive maintenance".
For 27 years, Lanbao has been deeply engaged in the sensor field, committed to developing more accurate, reliable and intelligent sensing solutions. It continuously injects core driving force into the automation upgrade and intelligent transformation of the logistics industry, jointly promoting the full arrival of the "smart logistics" era.
