Game-Changing Tech for Logistics! One sensor handles forklift collision avoidance and warehouse positioning, delivering a dual boost in efficiency and safety!

In today’s era of rapid development in the logistics industry, efficiency and safety have become the core of enterprises’ competitiveness. Whether it be automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), intelligent forklifts, or high-speed shuttles, achieving accurate, stable, and safe distance measurement and collision avoidance has long been a key challenge in the industry’s technological upgrading.

Lanbao Sensing’s newly launched PDE-CM Series TOF Laser Distance Sensors, with their outstanding detection performance and flexible application design, are delivering a highly reliable solution for the logistics industry.

Why has the PDE-CM Series Laser Distance Sensors become a hit in the logistics industry and is in short supply?

Breakthrough Technology: TOF Principle Delivers Unmatched Performance

The PDE-CM Series adopts the advanced Time of Flight (TOF) distance measurement principle, delivering a detection range of 0.06m to 5m. Unlike traditional photoelectric sensors, it is unaffected by object color, surface material, or reflectivity, maintaining stable output even in low light, bright light, or complex background conditions. This "ultra-stable" performance enables it to adapt to the diverse surface conditions of packages, shelves, pallets, and equipment in logistics scenarios.

Integrated with an amplifier, the sensor features a compact design and flexible installation, significantly reducing on-site wiring complexity and space constraints. Its intuitive OLED display and user-friendly operation panel support functions such as window teaching, one-click zero adjustment, and peak hold, allowing commissioning technicians to complete setup quickly and significantly shortening project deployment time.

Ultra-Simple Commissioning: Equipped with an OLED display and intuitive buttons, supporting "one-click teaching". Setup can be completed in minutes with no repeated adjustments.
At-a-Glance Status Monitoring: Large indicator lights enable clear visibility of operating status from a distance, simplifying patrol inspections.
Strong Anti-Interference Capability: Unaffected by ambient light changes, it maintains stable operation in warehouses with alternating light and dark conditions.

Laser Distance Sensors Transform the Entire Workflow of Logistics Operations

Forklift Safety Collision Avoidance and Cargo Position Detection

During forklift operations, the PDE-CM Series can be mounted on the front of the forks or both sides of the vehicle body to real-time monitor the distance to obstacles in front or to the sides. When an object within the safe distance is detected, the system can automatically trigger a deceleration or stop signal, effectively preventing collision accidents. Additionally, it can also be used for the identification and positioning of cargo positions on pallet racks, assisting forklifts in accurate loading and unloading, and is particularly suitable for high-bay warehouses.

Accurate Positioning and Navigation for Shuttles and AGVs

In automated storage systems, shuttles are required to achieve precise docking and cargo loading/unloading while operating at high speeds. The PDE-CM Series can be mounted on multiple sides of a vehicle (front, rear, left, and right) to conduct real-time measurement of the relative distance to pallet racks, stations, or other equipment, enabling millimeter-level positioning calibration. This not only improves operational accuracy but also reduces the risk of cargo damage or system downtime caused by positioning errors.

Conveyor Line Flow Control and Stack Height Detection

In the sorting and conveying process, the sensor can be used to monitor parcel flow, spacing, and stack height, enabling dynamic speed adjustment and early warning. Its wide detection range allows a single device to cover a larger monitoring area, reducing the number of sensors used and lowering system integration costs.

Why It’s the Top Choice for Logistics Enterprises?

Multi-Functional, Cost-Effective: One device meets diverse needs including collision avoidance, positioning, and detection, reducing procurement and maintenance costs.
Reliable, Durable and Highly Adaptable: Industrial-grade design withstands typical warehouse conditions such as dust and vibration.
Elevates System Intelligence: Delivers precise data for AGVs, AS/RS, and conveyor lines, serving as a key enabler for smart logistics.

In an era where cost reduction, efficiency improvement, and increasingly stringent safety regulations are paramount, choosing a stable, intelligent, and high-performance sensor is like equipping your logistics system with "smart eyes". The Lanbao Sensing PDE-CM Series is exactly such a proven, reliable choice.
