Collision avoidance with L-CAS™

Warehousing and logistics operate under tight timing and cost pressures, making speed and efficiency top priorities. Many operators of forklifts and other mobile equipment seek to boost speed and productivity. However, the risk of collisions, unnecessary equipment damage, and safety issues still hinder maximum efficiency. MicroVision’s 3D Lidar Collision Avoidance System (L-CAS) provides a fully integrated solution with onboard perception software to detect and prevent collisions in real time, reduce equipment damage and downtime and enhance efficiency. Ideal for retrofitting, L-CAS boosts cost-effectively operational safety without disrupting workflows.

Optimizing Inventory and Storage Management

Managing inventory is a complex task that requires precision. Stock discrepancies, misplaced goods, or mismanaged inventory are common problems. A 3D lidar solution can provide real-time stock monitoring by scanning shelves and storage areas to detect inventory discrepancies or real-time bin level monitoring to trigger automated restocking. It can provide detailed 3D maps of warehouse spaces, which allows automated systems to precisely locate, identify, and manage items in storage. To improve warehouse efficiency, a 3D lidar system can be used to create dynamic route planning to find optimal paths and avoid bottlenecks.

Enhancing Driver Efficiency & Safety

Forklift operators face physically demanding shifts, often driving in reverse for extended periods, leading to fatigue and reduced concentration. MicroVision's 3D lidar solutions help by spotting hazards in real time, reducing driver strain and providing proximity warnings for safer reversing. Improving maneuverability, the 3D lidar solutions ensuring sustained efficiency throughout a long shift.

Accelerating Order Fulfillment

With the rapid growth of e-commerce, fast order fulfillment is no longer optional – It is essential. Warehouses need to keep up while managing vast inventories. MicroVision's 3D lidar solution allows a faster, obstacle-free navigation for AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots) and AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles). Efficient item selection and transport to packing stations increase efficiency and enable seamless warehouse operations, reducing delays and increasing throughput. Therefore, the 3D lidar solution speeds up the processes and enhances overall efficiency.
