Can forklift AGV replace traditional forklift?

First of all, it is the general trend that AGV forklift replaces traditional forklift; Forklift trucks are mainly used in the field of cargo handling in manufacturing and logistics. Under the general trend of global manufacturing informationization, automation and intelligence, the use of AGV forklift is natural.

Know about forklifts

Forklift plays a very important role in the logistics system of enterprises and is the main force in material handling equipment. The basic operation functions are divided into horizontal handling, stacking/picking, loading/unloading and picking. Traditional forklift work relies on manual driving to complete the handling task. The forklift AGV is different from the traditional forklift, and it does not need manual driving. It has the characteristics of intelligence, flexibility, mobility, low cost, high efficiency and safe operation.

Comparative analysis of advantages and disadvantages between AGV forklift and traditional forklift

1. Cost problem

Manual forklift: A forklift master works 8 hours a day and needs 3 shifts for continuous work. In other words, three people need to go to work every day, and employees need other forklift masters to cover for them when they take time off.

Automatic forklift robot: Although the initial investment cost is high, the average enterprise can return to its original cost in one or two years. AGV forklift is a kind of automatic logistics equipment with high automation, safety, reliability and flexible scheduling. During the working process, after receiving the instruction from the control system, the intelligent forklift will automatically scan the goods on the shelves and send them out of the warehouse to the workstation, and then under the guidance of the navigation system, unload the designated goods and put the shelves back into the warehouse area. The whole process is completed automatically without manual intervention. In addition, there is an automatic charging function, which can automatically charge in the charging area without tasks.

2, the accuracy problem

Manual forklift: Manual operation, fast stacking and high efficiency, but repeated high-intensity continuous work often makes people tired. Due to human error or negligence, it is easy to damage the goods;

Automatic forklift robot: intelligent AGV forklift adopts natural navigation and other navigation methods, and the navigation accuracy reaches 5 mm, and the technology is constantly improving;

Therefore, it is an inevitable trend that only AGV forklift can replace manual forklift.
