Intelligent logistics and warehousing: being smart is not enough

As warehousing and logistics stride towards intelligence and automation, the mobile robot market is also experiencing a round of "reshuffle". As the industrial chain becomes clearer, upstream companies are increasingly focusing on building core advantages.

Smart warehousing and logistics systems are an important part of the rapid development of smart manufacturing industry 4.0. At present, more and more companies are thinking about and have deployed highly automated, highly informationized, and highly networked production models to achieve deep analysis based on big data and optimize the entire production process. According to Kaiyuan Securities research data, the penetration rate of mobile robots in the field of smart warehousing equipment has reached 29%. With the development of intelligence, this number will continue to grow!

A robot is a whole composed of different parts of different sizes. Different combinations form different products and realize different functions. Through "permutations and combinations", infinite possibilities can be realized.

Similarly, a "mature" logistics and warehousing system composed of many links must also be a complex organism. This whole must respond quickly to any "variable" in the system to make intelligence possible. Therefore, this system must not only be "smart", but also "flexible", not only "quick thinking", but also "fast response"!

Smart logistics and warehousing first emphasizes intelligence. To be smart, people need to improve their brains, and to be smart, machines must of course have good artificial intelligence algorithms.

However, the essence of deploying smart logistics and warehousing is to replace a large amount of manpower and material resources. Therefore, smart devices must have sufficient labor capacity to fundamentally solve user problems. People need to be flexible through training, and the "flexibility" of machines requires the hardware to be in place.

In the past two years, artificial intelligence algorithms in the field of mobile robots have become the core competitiveness that more and more companies are focusing on cultivating. Nowadays, the concept that software and hardware "work together in harmony and complement each other" is becoming more and more popular.

Component suppliers continue to hone their technology and products, making mobile robots more "hardcore". While users are concerned about the "brain power" of data analysis, they also have greater expectations for the "physical power" of common equipment such as AGVs, AMRs, pallet robots, and smart forklifts.

In order to help mobile robot manufacturers build this "hard power", Tiantai has independently developed a series of core motion units, including walking units, lifting units, rotating units and hollow joints, which can be applied to various logistics and warehousing robots such as AGV and AMR. They have the characteristics of compact structure, easy installation and easy maintenance, demonstrating our consistent pursuit - making robots simpler and more diversified.

Of course, while making good products, we proposed the concept of "Magic Cube" to help different mobile robot manufacturers build their own "hard power".

The Rubik's Cube itself implies infinite possibilities. Tiantai starts from the industrial chain and aims to make robots available everywhere, in order to help mobile robot companies create infinite possibilities. Through different combinations and to adapt to different needs, robots can "unlock" more application scenarios.

Today, we see robots showing their prowess in the field of intelligent warehousing and logistics. Just like a block on a Rubik's Cube finding its own position, Tiantai's joint products are also being applied and landed here, playing their own value.

In the future, with the continuous development of intelligent technology, more and more companies focusing on intelligent warehousing and logistics will emerge. They use intelligent technology to improve efficiency for end users.

Tiantai’s universal and standardized robot module units will help companies not only in the warehousing and logistics fields to build high-quality mobile robot products, create competitive advantages in hardware capabilities, build the “Magic Cube” and make the “Magic Cube” turn!
