Automatizacija optimizuje protok robe, istovremeno minimizirajući oštećenja, vreme i troškove. Radnici postaju dostupni za rešavanje složenijih zadataka umesto ponavljajućih procesa. Automatizovano rukovanje paletama takođe zahteva manje održavanja i energije i doprinosi produktivnosti i bezbednosti, postižući povrat ulaganja u roku od obično dve godine.
Precizna navigacija
Toyota autopiloti podržavaju dve vrlo precizne i prilagodljive navigacijske tehnologije: reflektor ili prirodnu navigaciju, ili kombinaciju dvostruke navigacije. Druga opcija omogućava viljuškarima da naprave izmenu između korišćenja reflektora u jednoj zoni i korišćenja skladišnog okruženja kao referencu za izgled druge zone.
Autopilots are programmed to complete all tasks safely, and to work alongside manual operators. The built-in safety scanners and obstacle detection units prevent collisions by reacting accordingly to obstacles crossing the trucks’ path. Load sensors and vision cameras further ensure accurate and safe load handling.
All Autopilot trucks are controlled by the Order Manager designed in-house by Toyota. This software works as a standalone or as a communication layer with warehouse management and production systems. The Order Manager keeps track of goods storage, orders, traffic and flow thanks to its intelligent fleet control and the integration with ERP/WMS.
The Autopilots can be equipped with Lithium-ion batteries that are up to 30% more energy-efficient whilst reducing CO2 emissions. With the ability of auto charging, the trucks can charge quickly in between tasks without the need of personnel or charging rooms, making it fully automated.
The Autopilot range is based on the industry-proven Toyota warehouse trucks and is fully supported by the Toyota Material Handling Europe service network. To ensure maximum return on investment, professional services are included, ranging from system support to change request handling to preventive system maintenance.
A unique benefit of Autopilot trucks from Toyota is the fact that the navigation system can support either reflector or natural navigation, but also both. In case of dual navigation, one area of the layout uses the warehouse environment as a reference, while another area uses reflectors, which allows the Autopilot to switch seamlessly between natural and reflector navigation. This is possible thanks to the laser scanner, which is identical in natural and dual navigation, so reflectors can simply be added to the environment in order to convert it to a dual navigation system.
