Stability as the Core Requirement in Printing Logistics
In state-owned printing enterprises, production emphasizes long-term stability and standardized execution. From raw paper storage to semi-finished circulation and finished pallet dispatch, every process follows a clearly defined production plan.
Paper rolls, printed semi-finished products, and finished pallets are typically heavy, batch-oriented, and frequently transported. This places high demands on the safety, continuity, and accuracy of internal logistics operations.
Challenges of Manual Forklift Operations
In daily operations, the printing factory faces extensive pallet-level transport between warehouses and multiple printing and binding lines. Individual pallet weights are high, and prolonged manual forklift operation leads to heavy labor intensity, uneven dispatching, and fluctuating efficiency.
These limitations make it difficult for manual logistics to meet the stability requirements expected in state-owned enterprise production environments.
Introducing Reeman AMR Autonomous Forklifts
As part of its logistics automation upgrade, the factory deployed Reeman AMR autonomous forklifts from the Hercules Series to replace part of the manual forklift workload. With a rated load capacity of 1.5 tons, the forklifts can automatically pick up and transport palletized materials, covering raw paper, semi-finished goods, and finished product flows.
This allowed core heavy-load logistics tasks to be handled without human driving.
Autonomous Navigation in Complex Workshop Environments
In actual operation, Reeman AMR autonomous forklifts perform point-to-point transport between warehouses and production lines using autonomous navigation. In printing workshops with dense equipment and frequent personnel movement, the forklifts continuously detect dynamic obstacles and actively avoid them, maintaining smooth and safe operation without disrupting on-site activities.
Flexible Deployment in Existing Facilities
Unlike fixed-route automation systems, Reeman AMR forklifts can be deployed quickly without large-scale facility modifications. Even in older factory buildings, they adapt flexibly to existing aisle conditions and changing production rhythms, supporting the practical requirement of “upgrading while producing” common in state-owned printing plants.
Standardizing Internal Logistics Rhythm
With multiple autonomous forklifts operating collaboratively, the factory gradually standardized its internal logistics rhythm. Materials are dispatched in an orderly manner according to production plans, and forklifts execute precise delivery tasks based on system instructions.
This reduces randomness caused by manual scheduling and improves coordination between warehouses and production lines.
Improving Control and Operational Reliability
From a management perspective, the introduction of autonomous forklifts not only improved transport efficiency but also significantly enhanced operational control. Logistics processes became transparent and traceable, and risks associated with heavy-load handling were greatly reduced.
Through the deployment of Reeman AMR autonomous forklifts, this state-owned printing factory achieved a smart upgrade of heavy-duty material handling, providing a safe, efficient, and sustainable internal logistics transformation path for the traditional printing industry.
