Customer Case Study | Suntime 3D Vision Empowers Manufacturing Logistics Intelligence Through Innovation
Challenages
A manufacturer decided to transition from manual handling in its production processes to an intelligent solution.
Objectives: Achieve a genuine upgrade in logistics intelligence, elevate existing material handling solutions to a higher level, and realize smart manufacturing aligned with Industry 4.0 standards.
Challenges:
Manual material handling required extensive manpower for highly repetitive transport tasks.
High operational tempo, intense workload, and long finished-goods transport distances.
Disorganized workflow and slow efficiency characterized the shop floor operations.
Solutions
The compact pallet truck EBY15 is equipped with a top-mounted navigation LiDAR, fork tip safety sensors, and undercarriage obstacle avoidance lasers, delivering 360° safety protection.
It features two operational modes for enhanced practicality:
Standalone Mode: Enabled with one click, operational within 10 minutes of deployment.
System Mode: When switched to this mode, it can interface with various production management systems (compatible with dispatch systems, scan-to-call, and button call functionality).
Fitted with a 3D SLAM controller (ECS800), it rapidly constructs 3D point cloud maps for scenes spanning millions of square meters and supports stable AGV operation in both indoor and outdoor environments.
Advantages
The unmanned forklift system operates stably 24/7, unaffected by diurnal lighting variations. This provides companies with enhanced operational flexibility while reducing operating costs.
With comprehensive perception capabilities, the system requires no additional auxiliary positioning markers, achieving “zero-modification” deployment in existing work environments.
Multiple safety protection layers – including front dual lasers, bumpers, elevated protective lasers, and emergency stop buttons – create a 3D safety system that ensures safe human-robot collaboration.
The monitoring and dispatch platform enables deep data mining and analysis, revealing underlying patterns to optimize processes, improve robotic operational efficiency and accuracy, while predicting and preventing potential issues.
Unaffected by Environmental Factors, All-Weather Indoor/Outdoor Operation
Due to its advanced 3D SLAM solution, the system operates reliably in diverse environments – indoors or outdoors, day or night.
Rapid 3D Point Cloud Mapping
Enables high-precision 3D scene reconstruction, localization, path planning, and real-time navigation with obstacle avoidance.
3D Safety Protection System Ensures Human-Machine Safety
Comprehensive Perception Capabilities Support Human-Robot Collaborative Operations
Secondary Development & Software Integration with High Compatibility
The open-source controller platform provides modules for the IDE, deployment, system, TABLE, and documentation, meeting all AGV route adjustment requirements.
