On May 15-16, the "Third Global Forklift Mobile Robot Summit" and the "First Global Unmanned Forklift Application Scenario Competition", jointly hosted by the China Mobile Robot Industry Alliance and the People's Government of Baohe District, Hefei City, were grandly opened in Hefei, Anhui Province. Laoyice showcased its intelligent sensing solution covering mobile robots at the summit.

Integrated solution for intelligent sensors of mobile robots
AGV transportation path navigation and safety protection

Application scenarios:
During the operation of AGV, safety sensors should be able to protect the transportation path in different situations, requiring not only high-precision measurement and positioning, but also safety monitoring to avoid dangerous collisions.
Solution:
The RSL 200 safety laser scanner is designed to be compact, with a volume reduced by 40% compared to similar products, ensuring efficient operation in limited spaces. Through rigorous testing and certification by T Ü V S Ü D in Germany, it has excellent safety performance and safety technical parameters: Type 3, PL d, SIL 2. Equipped with a 3-meter safety protection distance, a 15 meter warning range, up to 32 switchable safety protection zones, and UDP data within a range of 25 meters and 275 degrees, achieving a perfect integration of dynamic safety protection and precise positioning.
Check whether the material exceeds the boundary

Application scenarios:
During the operation of a forklift AGV, in order to avoid object collisions, sensors are required to reliably monitor the outer contour of the pallet cargo.
Solution:
The ROD 500 area laser scanner has a compact appearance and can be easily integrated into fork type AGVs. A detection distance of 25 meters can cover a large detection area. The characteristics of high scanning speed and high angular resolution can maximize the efficiency of manufacturing and logistics processes.
Automatic adjustment of fork width

Application scenarios:
Forklift AGVs need to handle trays of various sizes, and in order to ensure that the forks can be correctly inserted into the insertion tubes of the trays, it is necessary to automatically adjust the fork width to ensure smooth operation.
The optical distance sensor ODS9L is used to accurately measure the distance between the fork and the tray insert, thereby achieving automatic adjustment of the fork width.
Vertical positioning of cargo loading device

Application scenarios:
Forklift AGV can lift distances exceeding 20 meters in specific applications and can replace stacker cranes for cargo stacking operations. The demand for long-distance, small volume, and high-precision lifting positioning places high demands on the selection of sensors.
Solution:
The linear laser ranging sensor AMS100i not only meets the trend of miniaturization design for stacker cranes, but also meets the needs of large or forklift type AGV equipment. AMS100i adopts non-contact measurement reflective barcode tape, effectively avoiding the wear of the rope encoder and reducing the risk of scratches caused by mechanical swing.
Tray fork position detection

Application scenarios:
In workstations with limited space, forklift type AGVs require precise detection of pallet positions. For example, detecting the position of the target tray insertion tube at the end of the fork, or confirming that the tray has been correctly picked up at the base of the fork, in order to stop moving forward in a timely manner.
Solution:
The ODT3CL ranging sensor is stable, reliable, compact, and powerful, making it a simple and easy-to-use small TOF sensor. Its 50mm blind spot design makes detection more flexible. Diverse wiring options to meet the installation layout requirements of various AGV equipment.
The conference also showcased the safety controller MSI and the precise positioning sensor IPS 200i/400i, providing a comprehensive sensor solution for AGV equipment. As an industry expert, Lao Yi Ce is familiar with various fields and unique requirements of internal logistics, and develops targeted products to provide customers with efficient solutions.
