How it works

Compact autonomous pallet movers

  1. 01

    Locate

    The vehicle localizes by 3D SLAM and receives its task from the fleet system.

  2. 02

    Pick

    It slides its forks under the pallet and lifts it clear of the floor.

  3. 03

    Transport

    It drives the route, detecting obstacles and slowing or stopping as needed.

  4. 04

    Drop

    It sets the pallet down at the drop position and reports completion.
