Introduction: Pain Points and Opportunities in the Logistics Industry
In warehousing, logistics, and manufacturing, forklifts are the core equipment for material handling, yet traditional forklift operations
still face numerous challenges:
Low manual efficiency: Reliance on paper records leads to errors and poor traceability.
Harsh environments: Oil, vibration, and dust can damage standard electronic devices.
Outdated information systems: Difficulty in real-time integration with WMS/MES systems creates data silos.
Solution: Forklifts equipped with industrial-grade rugged tablets are becoming the new standard for industry upgrades!
Case Study: Intelligent Transformation at an Automotive Parts Warehouse
1. Project Background
The client, a top-three global automotive parts supplier, faced issues with their existing forklifts:
Inventory counting error rate as high as 5%.
Order picking relied on walkie-talkie communication, increasing time spent by 30%.
Outdoor operations in rainy conditions caused multiple device failures due to water damage.
2. Solution Implementation
We deployed the X-Series Rugged Tablet + Multi-Angle Camera System with the following features to address these challenges:
√ Military-Grade Durability
IP67 waterproof and dustproof, 1.2-meter drop resistance.
Operates in temperatures from -20°C to 60°C, suitable for cold storage and outdoor environments.
√ Optimized Smart Interaction
8-inch sunlight-readable display (1000-nit brightness).
Glove/wet-hand touch technology for all-weather operation.
√ Multi-Angle Safety Monitoring (New Addition)
Front wide-angle camera: Real-time barcode scanning + shelf tilt detection.
Rear night-vision camera: Eliminates blind spots during reversing and records operations.
Driver behavior analysis: AI detects fatigue/improper operation and issues alerts.
√ Full-Scenario Data Collection
Built-in NFC/RFID reader for automatic inventory verification.
Dual 4G/Wi-Fi connectivity for real-time WMS data synchronization.
√ Ergonomic Design
Magnetic + locking mechanism to prevent vibration-induced detachment.
Adjustable rotating stand for flexible operation angles.
