Automation
In order to optimise efficiency and flexibility in your warehouse, we offer different types of automation. Thanks to automated products from Toyota Material Handling, you are able to minimise damage and labour costs, while offering operators tasks with more added value.
Top 5 benefits for using automation in your warehouse
1. Optimise your flow of goods
Automation contributes to a consistent workflow with efficient driving behaviour. Intelligent order and fleet software minimises transport distance and avoids clustering, improving productivity in your operations round the clock.
2. Increase the safety
Automated trucks are equipped with state-of-the-art safety laser scanners which detect any obstacle and stop when needed. This secures a safe working environment, even when working closely to humans.
3. Minimise damage
The highly accurate navigation and detection systems of automated warehouse forklifts will avoid causing damage to your goods, infrastructure and trucks. Which will also decrease your damage and service cost.
4. Optimise your use of staff
By having automated trucks doing the repetitive work, your workers become available to handle more complex tasks with added value.
5. Increase your energy efficiency - Smart Charging
Charging of these trucks can be done automatically with Lithium-ion batteries which do not require any maintenance or human involvement. The Autopilots can be equipped with Lithium-ion batteries that are up to 30% more energy-efficient whilst reducing CO2 emissions. With the ability of automatic charging, the trucks can charge quickly in between tasks without the need of personnel or charging rooms, making it fully automated. The charging can be done when the Autopilots are idle, when they have a low battery or according to a customer made schedule to fit the specific needs.
