Our Key Offerings:
AssetTracking

Pick Assist
AMR

Incorporated Real Time Locating System(RTLS) technology, our Asset Tracking service
automatically identify and track the real-time
location of objects or people. With targeted
tracking items equipped with tags andutilizing wireless transmission technologies
such as Bluetooth AOA and ultra-wideband(UWB), our system provides accurate andreliable location tracking services in various
scenarios. These applications span acrosswarehouse management, inventory
management, personnel management, andsecurity monitoring.

It utilizes the most advanced“order-to-person” collaborative mode,eliminating the need for manual route
planning, warehouse redesign, or humanintervention. When the order comes in, therobot intelligently plans its optimal path basedon the order details. It then guides the nearby
worker to place the goods onto the robot’s
carrier. Once the order is placed, the robot
autonomously proceeds to the next pick-up
point. The worker does not follow any single
robot, but simply moves within a small area
and cooperates with different robots.

This service offers the best cost optimization,
precise positioning (up to 0.5m accuracy),and portable tags in various sizes. Byleveraging this advanced positioning
technology, businesses can enhance
operational efficiency, improve security, andelevate employee welfare. The value-addedfunctions include historical data tracking,real-time synchronization and tracking ofcameras in different locations, dynamic
rollcall, attendance reporting, generation andsupervision of patrol work schedule andmonitoring reports.

This service offers maximum convenience tomanufacturers as it’s ready to use
out-of-the-box. It provides significant costadvantages, saving 50%-80% on labor costs,
with a return on investment within 10 months
to 2 years. It offers unparalleled flexibility,
allowing manufacturers to select the quantity
and type of robots based on the dynamic
business needs and facility size. You can evenchoose the service on a subscription,
on-demand model. And with our value-added
AI functions such as Smart Packing, Advanced
Planning and Scheduling, and OptimalMaterial Assignment integrated into theservice, the benefits can be maximized.
