Driverless vehicle handles pallets
January 1st 2012 Jungheinrich launched the Auto
Pallet Mover (APM) – a driverless
vehicle that moves independently
around the warehouse and has been
designed to perform 'routine'
handling tasks such as delivering
palletised loads from the goods-in
area or production line to a transfer
point in the racking system.
The APM is based on standard
Jungheinrich lift truck technology
which means that the system can be
easily serviced and maintained and
that the trucks boast all the safety
features found on all the trucks in the
Jungheinrich range.
The APM's dedicated control and
guidance system not only ensures
efficient route planning and vehicle
coordination, but also delivers
optimum traffic flow around the
distribution centre or factory.
The APM can operate as a
standalone product or be integrated
into a solution controlled by a
warehouse management system.
Comprehensive safety features have
been built in to guarantee collisionfree
and safe operation. More articles from Jungheinrich UK Ltd: |
