As global industries undergo a transformation towards smart manufacturing, intelligent logistics has become a key driver of this new era, propelling industries away from traditional, labor-dependent logistics management towards a modern, visualized, and data-driven smart logistics system. High-quality intelligent logistics solutions within factories bring significant economic benefits, and mobile robots are playing a crucial role in flexible production logistics, becoming a focal point on production lines.

In recent years, industrial automation and smart manufacturing have become mainstream trends, leading to a significant shift towards logistics automation. Automated and intelligent handling tools, including unmanned forklifts, are experiencing unprecedented growth opportunities. Since 2020, with challenges such as low workforce returns, labor shortages, and limited project deployment due to special circumstances, companies have accelerated their adoption of "machine substitution." The application of unmanned forklifts and AGV/AMR in industrial production and warehouse logistics has been expanding rapidly.
