Self-driving vehicles that help warehouses to speed up movement of goods
An autonomous vehicle, or a driverless vehicle, is one that is able to operate itself and perform necessary functions without any human intervention, through the ability to sense its surroundings. An autonomous vehicle utilizes a fully automated driving system in order to allow the vehicle to respond to external conditions that a human driver would manage.
In a warehouse environment, automated forklifts follow a series of predetermined instructions to move around a site and complete actions, such as picking and dropping pallets.
Autonomous Forklifts can help with:
- loading and unloading
- moving finished goods to and from conveyors and wrappers
- moving goods to and from staging lanes and put-away locations
