Electric forklift manufacturer talks about the development of AGV forklift

Electric forklift manufacturer learned that with the rapid development of global intelligent manufacturing, many governments have issued policies to promote the development of intelligent manufacturing. For example, in the "Made in China 2025" plan issued by the Chinese government, intelligent manufacturing is listed as one of the ten key areas. As an extremely important part of intelligent manufacturing, AGV forklift, the most advanced electric forklift, has an important development position.

Compared with ordinary electric forklift, AGV forklift does not need manual driving. It combines barcode technology, wireless LAN technology and data acquisition technology, and uses electromagnetic induction as a navigation method to assist RFID identification. It can run on complex paths, track reliably at multiple sites, and is easy to operate. This kind of AGV forklift is more intelligent and flexible, and has the basic characteristics of low cost, high efficiency and safe operation. These advantages are incomparable with diesel forklift, manual forklift and ordinary electric forklift. It can solve the problem of traditional electric forklift operating in bad weather and dangerous environment, and reduce exhaust gas and noise. Electric forklift manufacturer can also customize AGV forklift trucks to meet the personalized needs of enterprises.

According to data, the total sales of forklifts in the world reached 1.33 million last year, a record high. According to the industrial chain survey, electric forklift manufacturers learned that before 2014, few enterprises in the market sold AGV forklift trucks. After 2014, electric forklift manufacturers producing AGV forklifts have been emerging, and more and more forklift manufacturers have entered the market. Some industry giants have set up specialized intelligent subsidiaries and business departments to carry out the research, development and production of this intelligent electric forklift. At present, many large express enterprises have begun to lay out AGV warehouses. AGV forklift has great advantages in sorting speed, management software platform, inbound and outbound speed, management efficiency and user experience. In recent years, the rapidly developing e-commerce logistics industry has introduced AGV forklifts into the layout of AGV warehouses.

However, the global electric forklift industry has serious homogenization competition and lack of standards. Some forklift manufacturers that produce diesel forklift trucks have started to set foot in intelligent forklifts, but there are few innovations. Their products are largely imitating the existing products on the market. In the industry, some small electric forklift manufacturers abuse AGV forklifts in order to strengthen their competitiveness. This low price competition has formed a vicious circle among enterprises. It is very important that the industry lacks relevant industry standards, resulting in uneven product quality. This is not conducive to the good development of the AGV forklift industry and the establishment of local brand image. Nevertheless, electric forklift manufacturer believes that the wide application of AGV forklifts in the future is the general trend.
