The All-direction Reach AMR:
 utilizes advanced omnidirectional wheel technology, such as Mecanum wheels, enabling it to move in any direction without turning. This allows precise lateral positioning in narrow aisles, essential for accessing high-level shelves efficiently. Equipped with LiDAR sensors and 3D vision systems, it creates real-time maps of the warehouse environment, avoiding obstacles and ensuring safe navigation even at maximum lifting heights.


The Three-way AMR: 

features a unique mast design that allows forks to extend not only forward but also to the left and right. This eliminates the need for the vehicle to turn in narrow aisles, significantly reducing maneuvering space requirements. Its lifting mechanism can reach heights of up to 12 meters, maintaining stability through advanced counterbalance systems and precision controls.


The Reach AMR:

is optimized for vertical storage with a telescopic mast capable of reaching extreme heights while maintaining load stability. Using a combination of laser guidance and inertial navigation, it achieves millimeter-level positioning accuracy, crucial for placing and retrieving loads from high shelves. Its adaptive control system adjusts lifting parameters based on load weight and height, ensuring safe operations across all levels.

 


Advantages of AMRs in High-Level Shelf Warehouses

 

In modern high-level shelf warehouses where storage efficiency and operational safety are critical, AMRs have emerged as game-changing solutions. Specifically designed for warehouses with shelves exceeding 8 meters in height, the All-direction Reach AMR, Three-way AMR, and Reach AMR models offer unparalleled advantages over traditional manual forklifts.

Advantages Over Traditional Forklifts

 

1. Enhanced Safety in High-Risk Environments

Operating at heights exceeding 8 meters poses significant risks with traditional forklifts, including operator fatigue, visibility limitations, and potential for tip-overs. AMRs mitigate these risks through:

• 360° Obstacle Detection: Continuous monitoring ensures collision avoidance, even in congested high-level areas.

• Stability Control: Advanced algorithms maintain balance during high-speed lifting and traversing.

• Remote Operation: Optional remote monitoring allows human oversight without exposing operators to elevated risks.

 

2. Unmatched Space Utilization

Traditional forklifts require wide turning radii, wasting valuable floor space. AMRs, however:

• Operate in Narrow Aisles: The All-direction Reach AMR and Three-way AMR can navigate aisles as narrow as 1.6 meters, increasing storage density by up to 50%.

• Maximize Vertical Space: With lifting heights up to 12 meters, they fully utilize warehouse verticality, reducing the need for horizontal expansion.

 

3. 24/7 Operational Efficiency

AMRs eliminate human limitations, providing:

• Continuous Operation: Uninterrupted workflow without breaks, shifts, or overtime costs.

• Predictable Throughput: Consistent performance ensures reliable order fulfillment, even during peak periods.

• Smart Route Optimization: Real-time path planning minimizes travel distances and reduces idle time.

 

4. Precision and Consistency

High-level shelf operations demand exactitude:

• Sub-Millimeter Positioning: AMRs achieve precise alignment with shelves, reducing the risk of load damage.

• Automated Workflows: Seamless integration with Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) ensures accurate order picking and inventory management.

 

5. Total Cost of Ownership

While initial investments in AMRs are higher, long-term savings include:

• Reduced Labor Costs: Elimination of operator salaries and training expenses.

• Lower Maintenance: Predictive maintenance algorithms minimize downtime and repair costs.

• Energy Efficiency: Electric-powered AMRs consume less energy compared to combustion-engine forklifts.

 

6. Scalability and Adaptability

AMR fleets can be easily expanded or reconfigured to meet changing warehouse needs:

• Modular Design: Add or remove vehicles without disrupting operations.

• Software Updates: Remote software upgrades enable quick adaptation to new tasks or layouts.

 

In high-level shelf warehouses, the All-direction Reach AMR, Three-way AMR, and Reach AMR AMRs offer a comprehensive solution that addresses the limitations of traditional forklifts. Their advanced technologies, safety features, and operational efficiencies make them indispensable for modern logistics operations aiming to maximize storage capacity, improve safety, and reduce costs. By leveraging these intelligent solutions, warehouses can achieve new levels of productivity and competitiveness in the global supply chain.
