…new forklift is equipped with the means to execute precision docking and pallet placement with an accuracy within 10 millimeters. The C1500-L can also discern the angles at which the pallets are positioned, performing real-time adjustments autonomously to ensure square entry into pallet pockets. ForwardX’s C1500-L is also capable of performing triple pallet stacking with a maximum lift height of 14.7 feet, or 3.5 meters. Sensors in the forks enable variable pick and drop heights to prevent load damage during stacking operations. Through the ForwardX f(x) robot fleet management software, the C1500-L can be integrated with ForwardX’s conveyor, towing, and…

…of location and orientation of important assets with centimeter-scale precision. Using stereo cameras and advanced algorithms, the Slamcore Aware module automatically calculates the location of the vehicle it is fitted to and then begins to create a map of the facility as the vehicle moves around. Changes to layout, position of vehicles, goods and people are automatically noted even in dynamic environments. Local “edge” visual data processing supports API Slamcore Aware does not require installation of line-of-sight antennas throughout a facility. Instead, Slamcore takes an inside-out approach that scales in line with the number of vehicles deployed, irrespective of the…
