On April 15, 2021, the "2021 Global Logistics Technology Conference" hosted by China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing concluded successfully in Haikou. As an excellent supplier in the field of material handling, Linde (China) was invited to attend the conference. At the scene, Linde won the "Logistics Technology Innovation Award" and the "Logistics Technology and Equipment Recommendation Award" issued by the China Federation of Logistics Purchasing. This is an affirmation of Linde (China)'s technological innovation and development in the past 30 years, and it is also Linde's appreciation of value and service.

Linde's technical advantages originate from Germany and have a complete product series, including three series of internal combustion forklifts, electric forklifts, and warehouse forklifts, including more than two hundred forklifts, which can meet the needs of users in different working conditions. In addition, Linde’s lean “supermarket factory” has lean manufacturing systems, modern production models, and high-quality product guarantees; it has the ability to easily expand production capacity to meet the growing needs of emerging markets, which also promotes Linde to become an industry Role model.

At the meeting, after careful review by the expert review committee, many core indicators of Linde handling robot L-MATIC were in the forefront of the industry and won the "Logistics Technology Innovation Award".

Linde handling robot L-MATIC is an advanced intelligent vehicle developed to further improve production efficiency. It can easily realize the interactive docking of the operating environment (automatic doors, conveyor lines, elevators, etc.) and the WMS/SAP system. In order to ensure the AGV's own safety, personnel safety and the safety of various equipment during the operation of the AGV, Linde handling robots carry out the design of the safety system in accordance with the AGV industry standard ISO3691-4, including components from the sensor, controller and other components to the entire system. The safety system meets the 360-degree omnidirectional PLd level safety certification. The fork tip ultrasonic sensor and in-position detection ensure reliable and safe picking and placing of goods. Based on a comprehensive understanding of the complex working conditions of logistics operations, a security system with three-dimensional detection and intelligent target area autonomous identification is constructed for customers.

In addition, the automatic guidance scheme of the laser reflector is adopted, the navigation method is accurate, the driving path can be flexible and changeable, the installation and debugging are simple, and it is suitable for most industrial application scenarios. The AGV has a function of opportunistic charging. When there is no task or the battery is insufficient, the AGV automatically runs to the charging pile to replenish the battery.

The dispatch system has functions such as order management, route optimization, traffic control, log recording, etc. The dispatch system can receive trigger signals from call buttons, PDA, upstream WMS, production line PLC, etc. and generate handling tasks. The received task list is as set The rules are flexibly assigned to the AGV. For example, tasks can be assigned to the nearest AGV first. After receiving the task, the AGV adopts node locking and route reservation mechanism to achieve traffic management control. In the process of AGV form, the route can be dynamically adjusted according to road congestion to improve handling efficiency , The nodes of the entire handling process can be fed back to the upstream system for interface interaction. In addition, the scheduling system is equipped with log records. On the one hand, you can view the detailed records of all orders, and on the other hand, you can play the records through animation, which is convenient for record tracking and review.

The wide application of Linde handling robots can increase productivity and reduce cargo loss during handling. It can also reduce labor intensity and risks by assigning some "uncomfortable" tasks to robots, and realize production logistics operations and warehousing logistics management Optimization, thereby reducing the customer’s overall logistics operating costs.

With the new round of scientific and technological revolution in the global innovation boom, more and more emerging and innovative technologies are integrated into the development of logistics. In the future, Linde (China) will continue to innovate, develop and introduce original products and solutions, provide the market with top products and services with a high degree of flexibility and strong strength, improve the standard of material handling equipment, and develop together with the logistics industry.
