At the same time, after years of development, Smart technology Vision AMR has realized the rapid landing of a variety of complex scenes across different industries such as logistics and automobile manufacturing, creating the strongest solution in the subdivision field, and achieving rapid growth of the company’s revenue.

Warehouse Automation: Asia’s largest order-to-person solution provider

Mobile robots have been advancing all the way since 2021, so that capital is full of unlimited expectations for this emerging blue ocean market. Relevant data show that industrial AMR sales in the Chinese market in 2021 have broken 10,000 units, an increase of nearly 100%.

Qi Ou, founder and CEO of Lingmo Technology, said, “Behind the high growth of the mobile robot track, it also conveys a clear signal that the storage automation market is becoming more mature from the side.” Chinese mobile robot enterprises to go global, is no longer a choice, but a must.”

For the logistics industry, Lingzhi Technology in the country’s first “order to people” flexible picking solution, through the “one person to pick more cars, one car to many people, people and cars together” greatly improve the picking efficiency, save picking personnel. “Order-to-person” is currently the most sought after warehousing logistics solution worldwide, and it is also the only solution that delivers true commitment to customer ROI and no sunk costs. “Order to person” has high flexibility, can adapt to the industry ToB, ToC business model selection scenario, especially for small, medium, small and medium-sized mixed, and even medium and large goods, can greatly reduce the labor intensity of personnel.

At the same time, “order to people” can achieve “traceless deployment, zero cost migration, adaptive business, one minute to get started”, with half the investment to bring twice the efficiency of selection, to achieve double improvement of human efficiency and ping efficiency. Up to now, Lingda Technology’s “order-to-person” flexible picking solution has deployed nearly 3,000 AMR units worldwide, becoming the first “order-to-person” solution provider in Asia in terms of shipments and market share. Taking a domestic leading logistics enterprise as an example, Lingdong Technology’s “order-to-person” flexible picking solution has been quickly launched in its 10 warehouses within 100 days, and the picking efficiency has been increased by 50%-200%.

Automotive in-plant logistics: “Champion” in the segment

For the automotive industry, Smart Technology provides the world’s leading end-to-end unmanned logistics solutions in the factory. Through full-scene multi-vehicle hybrid scheduling, a set of systems from raw material warehousing, online, production line docking, finished products off the line and other whole operation process transportation management, to achieve the whole process of material data, help enterprises optimize material and capital turnover, to achieve intelligent decision-making. As a leader in the fourth generation of mobile robots in the era of Industry 5.0, Smart Technology AMR solutions provide higher reliability – achieving 99.8% availability; Higher security – to achieve human-machine safety mixed; Traceless deployment, high flexibility – meet the requirements of JPH, support the intelligent upgrading of in-plant logistics, including the transformation of old plants, support digital transformation into smart factories, which can provide a reliable basis for subsequent digital twins and further improve production efficiency.

Taking a leading automobile group in China as an example, aiming at a series of challenges such as mixed traffic, high risk of industrial injury, large materials, inconvenient handling, high labor intensity of employees, and need to improve the digitalization of logistics, Lingda Technology provides end-to-end unmanned logistics solutions in the factory to create the following values: first, operation efficiency is greatly improved; Second, realize logistics digitization; Third, production line flexible intelligent upgrade; Fourth, it ensures the safety of employees and greatly reduces labor intensity.
