As we all know, forklift trucks are the core equipment for automation upgrades in the manufacturing industry.

The core content of the manufacturing 2025 strategy is to replace labor with machines, improve production efficiency, and reduce dependence on labor. Forklifts, as the core equipment of ordinary labor substitution such as lifting and handling, are the pioneers of equipment upgrading in manufacturing. With the continuous advancement of the 2025 strategy, higher requirements will be put forward for the coverage of forklift trucks.

We have conducted in-depth research on the market situation in this industry and will share it in two phases:

1. Talk about forklift warehousing and warehouse management solutions

2. Look at the market status quo of forklift on-board computers

Forklift inbound and outbound management solutions can be divided into two types, as follows

Solution one:

Vehicle computer / industrial computer + transformer + forklift voltage stabilizing power supply + forklift vehicle bracket + scanning gun + WMS inbound and outbound warehouse management system.

You can get a more intuitive understanding based on the following scenario diagram:

Technical highlights:

1. The use of vehicle computer + scanning gun scheme to achieve data collection, and synchronous in the WMS warehouse management system.

2. The stable input and output of the vehicle computer and forklift power supply rely on the transformer and voltage regulator to achieve voltage conversion and stability.

3. The car bracket must be stable, and the car computer must have the properties of earthquake resistance, waterproof and dustproof.

Scenario two:

Vehicle computer / vehicle industrial computer + vehicle bracket + RFID reader + RFID detection antenna + transformer + regulated power supply + WMS inbound and outbound warehouse management system

You can get a more intuitive understanding based on the following scenario diagram:

Technical highlights:

1. The RFID reader and antenna should be distributed in the forklift A/B column, and the RFID tag should be evenly distributed to ensure that the recognition range is maximized.

2. The identification distance range of the RFID reader should be maintained at more than 3 meters.

In the process of warehouse management, the on-board bracket fixes the on-board computer on the forklift, the tablet automatically obtains the work instructions assigned by the system, the driver only needs to read the operation process trajectory displayed on the screen to operate, and the hands of the entire process worker can operate the forklift and handle the material completely freely Because the on-board computer will provide the optimal access to the material path with accurate GPS navigation, it ensures the accuracy, timeliness and visibility of material handling and storage.

Industry chain sharing:

According to the survey and the analysis of the figure above:

1. The use scenarios are mainly divided into four categories: manufacturing warehousing, logistics warehousing, cold chain warehousing, and terminal warehousing

2. WMS access management system is a set of software for handheld, vehicle computers, servers, and terminal PCs, but the adaptive interface of different forms of hardware is different, and they are interoperable with each other

3. The main hardware involved in the whole solution is forklift, vehicle computer, code scanner/PDA, RFID reader/RFID antenna, RFID tag, which has different cooperation according to different schemes

4. There are many soft and hard technologies at the bottom, and some of the key points are pointed out in the figure to solve the different pain points of customers.

Today shared the overall solution of the forklift car computer, I don't know if you think it is clear, or have any questions, you can leave a message in the comment area, welcome to your peers to communicate.

The next issue of the sharing preview: forklift vehicle computer market status
