The 2023 China Mobile Robot And AGV/AMR Industry Development Conference, organised by the AGV/AMR Industry Alliance, recently took place at the Dongguan International Conference Center. During the conference’s “Industry Outstanding Cases” segment, HELI Industrial Vehicles (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. received recognition for its soft package stacking project in the fertiliser industry. This project was lauded by expert judges for its product quality, technical advantages, program innovation, and service guarantee, earning the Industry Outstanding Cases Award.
The project was implemented in a modernised and intelligent production enterprise specialising in agricultural fertilisers, a leading entity in China’s fertiliser industry. As the enterprise’s production capacity increased annually and the challenge of an aging workforce became more pronounced, traditional production and logistics methods could no longer meet the demands of production and warehousing. To address this, the enterprise accelerated the adoption of intelligent and automated construction and introduced the HELI Intelligent Logistics System. This initiative facilitated the upgrade of production, warehousing, and logistics, enhancing overall management.
The project involved the deployment of 7 sets of HELI heavy-duty AGVs, enabling round-the-clock automatic transfer of finished products from the production line, high-density storage within the warehouse, and efficient retrieval of finished products from the warehouse. Equipped with onboard sensors, the AGVs accurately identified the height of pallet jacks, facilitating the stacking of multi-layer soft-packed goods. HELI’s WMS warehouse logistics management software and ACS automatic control software were seamlessly integrated with the user’s MES system, automated production line, and loading equipment, enabling automatic handling of task triggers and dynamic management of finished product inventory information.
Since the project’s delivery three months ago, the HELI intelligent logistics system has facilitated the shipment of approximately 300,000 tons for the enterprise. The successful delivery and operational efficiency of the project exemplify HELI’s win-win development philosophy, centred on addressing customer demands and ensuring customer satisfaction.
