Qisda Case - Intelligent Warehousing through Unmanned Forklift, Comprehensively Improving Efficiency and Space Utilisation

10 MP10 Intelligent Handling Robots + AiTEN Intelligent Dispatch System

Qisda is one of the world's leading manufacturers of LCD monitors, and also occupies an important position in the projector market, and is involved in the electronic components distribution business, providing electronic components distribution services to customers around the world.AiTEN has entered into a partnership with Qisda to provide a set of highly efficient and intelligent AGV unmanned forklift material handling solutions, which have helped Qisda to improve its warehouse management efficiency, optimise the space utilisation and significantly reduce work intensity. This article will discuss the background and highlights of this co-operation project and the practical benefits it brings.

Project background

• The project's warehouse space is large, but the lack of positioning references leads to poor positioning accuracy, making it difficult to efficiently dispatch robots.
• The goods in the warehouse are placed in a messy and disordered, and the space utilisation rate is low.
• Due to the mixing of goods, the classification of different goods is not clear, resulting in prolonged search time and low search efficiency.
• Due to the increase in the volume of orders, the handling intensity of the warehouse staff is high, and the narrow aisle also increases the risk of vehicle intersection and collision.
• The main requirements of the customer are to optimise the storage of goods, improve the efficiency of warehousing, and at the same time ensure the smooth operation of the robot.

Project Highlights

1. Positioning accuracy improvement

To overcome the positioning problem in the warehouse environment, this project significantly improves the accuracy of unmanned forklift robot positioning by adding a low-cost overhanging column as a positioning reference. With this solution, the robot's navigation capability is greatly enhanced, ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of material handling.

2.Increased space utilisation

In terms of warehouse layout optimisation, the AiTEN team carried out scientific planning for the cargo storage area and the travel path of the MP10 unmanned forklift robot. Through the reasonable placement of goods and path design, the warehouse space has been maximised. At the same time, the optimised route ensures the smooth operation of the MP10 intelligent unmanned forklift robot, avoiding unnecessary congestion and making cargo access more efficient and convenient.

3.Cargo classification management

For the problem of unclear classification of goods in the warehouse, different storage areas are divided according to the type of goods, and the two-dimensional code recognition function is added to search for goods quickly and accurately, reducing the search time and improving operational efficiency.

4.Significant reduction in labour intensity

With the deployment of the unmanned smart warehouse, the workload, which originally required 20 staff members, has been drastically reduced. Now, only 5 employees are needed to complete the daily warehouse management tasks. The labour intensity of the warehouse staff has been significantly reduced and the working environment has been greatly improved.

5.Customised upgrades for intelligent robots

To ensure the safety of material transport, the MP10 intelligent robot used in the project has been specially customised with a raised frame design, which effectively avoids the dropping of bins during transport. In addition, the small size of the MP10 robot enables it to make smooth turns in narrow aisles, effectively avoiding possible risks during transport.

6.Exception Handling Optimisation

In terms of system design, this project adds the function of automatic identification of incoming abnormalities and code-sweeping abnormalities. This function enables real-time monitoring of abnormalities in the warehouse, and once abnormal goods are detected, the system will automatically send them to the designated abnormality handling depot. The optimisation of this function ensures intelligent and efficient warehouse management, enabling problems to be identified and resolved promptly and avoiding delays in manual intervention.

Project Results And Benefits

1.Dramatic improvement in warehouse management efficiency

Through AiTEN's intelligent warehousing solution, Qisda has successfully realised the intelligence of warehouse management, and the efficiency of warehousing has been greatly improved. the accurate positioning and intelligent scheduling of MP10 handling robots make the handling of goods more efficient, which not only reduces the operating time of the operators but also optimises the process of goods access.

2.Improved space utilization and working environment

Thanks to the optimised warehouse layout and intelligent management, Qisda's warehouse space utilisation has been significantly improved. Through scientific planning of goods storage and robot travelling routes, the whole warehouse has become more tidy and orderly. In addition, the reduction of labour intensity and the improvement of the working environment have enhanced the efficiency of employees.

3.Reduced labour costs and safety risks

The deployment of AGV intelligent forklift trucks has significantly reduced manual intervention in warehouse management, which not only reduces labour costs but also effectively reduces safety hazards caused by personnel operating errors. The introduction of automated systems significantly improves overall work safety, creating a safer and more efficient working environment for the enterprise.

Conclusion

The successful cooperation between AiTEN and Qisda demonstrates the great potential of intelligent warehousing solutions in the electronics manufacturing industry. By improving the efficiency of warehouse management, optimizing space utilization, and reducing labour intensity and safety risks, AiTEN provides a comprehensive set of intelligent solutions for Qisda, which not only helps it to improve the efficiency of its warehouse operations but also lays a solid foundation for its future development. In the future, with the continuous progress of intelligent technology, more enterprises will benefit from it and welcome a new era of smarter and more efficient production and warehousing.
