eforthink technology UWB Warehouse Material Management and Positioning System provides a strong technical support for the intelligent upgrading of warehouses and factories.

In traditional factories, it is difficult to find goods. There are thousands of goods in warehouse logistics. Data updates are not timely. A large number of goods are constantly being imported, exported, and moved, making it difficult for system data to be updated in real-time and accurately. Manual efficiency is low while costs are high. Most warehouses have a low degree of intelligence, and a large number of tasks such as sorting and scheduling rely heavily on manual labor, resulting in high costs, low efficiency, and a high error rate.

Meanwhile, as an important handling tool in factories and logistics enterprises, forklifts play an indispensable role in cargo loading, unloading, handling, and stacking. However, there are many hidden dangers in the process of forklift operations, which can easily lead to accidents. Forklift safety accidents often occur suddenly, causing huge losses of life and property.

eforthink Technology's UWB warehouse management solution includes two parts: personnel/material positioning and forklift collision avoidance. It consists of UWB positioning base stations, forklift collision avoidance base stations, personnel positioning tags, material positioning tags, and a high-precision positioning system. It can realize functions such as goods inventory management, personnel positioning, material positioning, electronic fences, and forklift safety management, providing customers with a refined management system.

Personnel and Vehicle Safety Anti - Collision

• Forklifts are important equipment for warehouse cargo handling. By installing UWB positioning tags on forklifts and having operators wear UWB positioning badges, real - time position data of personnel and forklifts can be obtained on the existing UWB positioning system.
• At the same time, safety distance thresholds between personnel and forklifts are set and early warning rules are established. When the rules are triggered, early warning messages are sent to remind, which improves the forklift collision avoidance system and the fork truck pedestrian safety plan. It is an effective way and means to ensure forklift safety and upgrade digital factories.

Realization of Inventory Visualization and Transparency

• By installing UWB positioning tags on forklifts and binding them with the paper rolls being transported in the system, when the forklift reaches the designated storage location, the storage position of the goods is accurately recorded by the system.
• Using UWB data, the system updates the precise position, quantity, and status of goods in real - time, realizing all - round visualization and transparency of inventory status. This is an important application of Real Time Asset Tracking and the warehouse tracking system.

Improvement of Operation and Goods In - Out Efficiency

• With the help of UWB indoor positioning system to locate forklifts in real - time, the optimal path to idle and suitable storage locations is planned for them. Forklift drivers follow precise navigation to quickly move goods to the right place, which greatly reduces the time wasted in finding storage locations.
• When an order is placed, forklift drivers can accurately lock the target goods by combining order details with UWB positioning, quickly find the goods and deliver them out of the warehouse, significantly improving the order response speed. The indoor tracking system and indoor RTLS (Real - Time Location System) also play a key role in this process.

Optimization of Warehouse Space Utilization

• The UWB systems and ultra wideband RTLS accurately locate the storage positions of goods and the moving paths of forklifts, so as to optimize the storage layout of goods and the allocation of storage locations. This ensures that the warehouse space is used efficiently and significantly improves the overall space utilization of the warehouse.

  In summary, eforthink technology's UWB warehouse management solution, relying on UWB technology and indoor localization system, not only solves the problems of difficult goods search, low manual efficiency, and high error rate in traditional warehouses but also effectively improves forklift safety.
