In logistics warehouses and factories, the labor shortage of cargo handling is a pressing issue.
Especially, work for loading and unloading luggage and parts with a forklift and transporting them requires
skill training and sufficient practical experience. Therefore, it is getting difficult to secure the staff.
In addition, forklifts often collaborate in areas where people work directly, and there is a problem thateven experienced people have many accidents.
Therefore, ZMP will start to provide the unmanned forklift CarriRo® Fork that can operate the forklift
easily, safely and efficiently, even if there is no worker with special skills, by realizing the cargo handlingwork by forklift automatically. CarriRo® Fork is characterized by a simple setup that can be realized in a
few days from pre-work area mapping to operation. While monitoring obstacles in the vicinity, it stops in
response to obstacles in the direction of travel, and automatically restarts when obstacles are removed.
CarriRo® Fork can be introduced in the following flow.
① Confirmation of how to apply to the area environment and business that is being considered
for use② Preparation of infrastructure facilities required for operation③ Mapping work and business scenario setup
