Beacon Robot's "Fast, Stable, and Precise" Unmanned Forklift Solutions Empower the Future of Industrial Automation!

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.

New Product Release: Unmanned Forklift

The FMR series, also known as Autonomous Mobile Forklifts, integrates forklift technology with AGV technology. Unlike traditional AGVs, the FMR series not only handles point-to-point material transport but also facilitates logistics across multiple production stages. It is suitable for high-bay warehouses, receiving areas, and production line transfers, achieving fully unmanned operations throughout the entire production process. This reduces logistics cycles and enhances operational efficiency, paving the way for a promising market outlook!
Beacon Robot specializes in the research, design, assembly, sales, and installation of AGV/AMR mobile handling robots. Its main products include various types of industrial mobile robots, offering customized smart logistics solutions to clients. In response to the growing demand for AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots), Beacon Robot has launched the FMR series, which includes four models: FL12C (stacking), FP30 (towing), FR16S (reach), and FT20 (transport). These products feature rapid deployment, comprehensive functionality, easy integration with third-party systems, and high operational efficiency. Moreover, to adapt to fast-paced production cycles, Beacon Robot has increased the forklift's operating speed to 2m/s, a leading speed in the industry, and introduced the concept of fork coordination. This allows fork height adjustments during movement, eliminating the need for time-consuming adjustments at the target location, greatly improving operational efficiency and meeting the needs of most industrial production cycles.

FMR Series Product Features:

Mapping and Modeling

1.Supports fast online mapping with real-time map visualization.

2.Mapping area covers up to 500,000 square meters in a single operation.

3.Offers both manual and automatic closed-loop modes.

4.Supports reflector-based mapping.

5.Allows for extended mapping, avoiding redundant operations during map expansion.

Fusion Positioning

1.Integrates multiple sensors, including gyroscopes, odometers, laser radars, and reflectors, making it adaptable to various complex industrial environments.

2.Supports self-positioning upon startup.

3.Ensures repeat positioning accuracy within ±10mm.

4.Offers high-precision positioning using reflectors, QR codes, and code bands, achieving accuracy within ±5mm, and in some cases, even ±2mm.

Autonomous Navigation

1.Supports smooth arc turns without stuttering.

2.Maximum speed reaches 2m/s.

3.Path strategies can be independently set for special scenarios.

4.Real-time response during emergency braking, ensuring smooth operation without stuttering.

Safety Features

1.Equipped with safety sensors, including edge sensors, safety lasers, fork sensors, and emergency stop buttons, providing 360° safety protection.

2.The safety laser can be configured with up to 64 obstacle avoidance zones, meeting diverse application needs.

3.Includes voice alerts, buzzers, and indicator lights for timely alerts in case of malfunctions.

Forklift Tasks

1.Allows flexible configuration of lifting heights for loading and unloading.

2.Supports fork coordination, enabling simultaneous movement and lifting, improving operational efficiency.

Manual Error Clearing
In case of non-hardware faults, the error can be quickly cleared using the reset button on the vehicle, allowing the forklift to resume normal operations.

Automated Docking

1.Supports docking at any station: the forklift can be driven to any nearby station and quickly docked using the mobile app without needing to return to a fixed station.

2.When set to scheduling mode, the forklift automatically finds the nearest docking point for quick docking.

Intelligent Scheduling

1.Supports path planning, traffic control, task management, status monitoring, and charging management.

2.Introduces a unified communication interface, or "middleware," for seamless integration with third-party systems without affecting the core scheduler.

3.Employs advanced algorithms, including static traffic control, predictive traffic control, collision detection, and heat maps, enabling efficient and stable multi-vehicle scheduling while avoiding deadlock situations.

4.Supports multi-floor and multi-site scheduling with multiple vehicle types.

5.The system is compatible with various vehicle models.

6.The scheduling system is easy to configure, operate, and learn, making it accessible to users of all levels.

By integrating the scheduling system with MES, WMS, and other third-party systems, forklifts can form a complete production process, achieving seamless inter-system connectivity and maximizing production efficiency. The market potential for unmanned forklifts is vast, with increasing demand and critical importance in the next phase of industrial automation. With its robust product quality and comprehensive R&D, design, installation, and technical service teams, Beacon Robot's FMR series is set to play an increasingly vital role in the unmanned forklift industry.
