Intralogistics Challenges in the Warehouse Hinder Business Development: Why Multiway's AGV Forklifts Are Favored by Fortune 500 Companies?
Currently, global manufacturing and logistics industries are undergoing profound transformations. Issues such as "difficulty in hiring, high labor costs, complex management, and information silos" have become common pain points limiting business development. Against this backdrop, intelligent intralogistics solution providers, represented by Multiway Robotics, are leveraging their leading autonomous forklift technology and full-scenario solutions to help global companies overcome intralogistics bottlenecks, accelerate automation and digitalization upgrades, and reshape industry competitiveness. As of now, Multiway Robotics has served over 700 large enterprise clients, covering more than 20 industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, new energy, automotive, machinery manufacturing, and cold chain intralogistics. Among them are many Fortune 500 companies, industry leaders, and hidden champions. Multiway's autonomous forklifts use high-precision navigation, intelligent sensing and obstacle avoidance, and seamless integration with systems like WMS to autonomously perform tasks such as precise material handling, stacking, and retrieval 24/7. This significantly reduces dependence on human labor, alleviates hiring pressures, and lowers operational costs through continuous, stable, and efficient operations. Compared to traditional manual models, autonomous forklifts significantly reduce human errors and product damage caused by fatigue or misoperation. Additionally, standardized operating processes improve warehouse management's compliance and safety, especially in specialized environments like cold storage at -25°C and hazardous or explosion-proof areas. To address management complexity, Multiway's self-developed intelligent scheduling system plays the role of a "smart brain." This system enables efficient unified path planning, task allocation, and traffic control for multiple autonomous forklifts, while monitoring vehicle status and work progress in real-time. It dynamically optimizes operational workflows based on actual needs, minimizing congestion and waiting times, and improving overall operational efficiency. More importantly, by exchanging data with the company's existing management systems, Multiway's solution bridges information flow gaps across intralogistics links, enabling real-time data collection, sharing, and analysis. This not only eliminates information silos but also provides managers with transparent operational views and data-driven decision-making, facilitating a profound shift from traditional experience-based management to digital and intelligent management. Multiway's product line covers a full range of autonomous forklifts, including pallet trucks, pallet stackers, counterbalance forklifts, reach trucks, three-way forklifts, omni-directional side-loaders, and even cold storage-specific models. These forklifts can adapt to a variety of complex scenarios, from flat material handling to high-level storage and retrieval, from production line integration to unmanned loading and unloading. This comprehensive coverage and deeply customized solutions allow businesses to quickly deploy and achieve intelligent intralogistics upgrades without major site modifications. Furthermore, Multiway insists on self-research and development of core technologies, from underlying sensors to core algorithms and upper-level systems, ensuring stable and reliable product performance and continuous iteration, providing a solid foundation for the long-term development of businesses. Since its inception, Multiway Robotics has focused on the deep integration and innovative application of robotics and AI technology, aiming to provide efficient, flexible, and intelligent on-site intralogistics solutions to global customers. With localized teams and showrooms in Atlanta, USA, Tokyo, Japan, Seoul, Korea, and North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, the company adheres to the "Local team, Local service" philosophy, enabling China's leading autonomous forklifts and intelligent intralogistics solutions to establish a foothold in broader international markets. Industry experts point out that introducing intelligent intralogistics devices, such as autonomous forklifts, is no longer an "optional" strategy for businesses to reduce costs and increase efficiency, but rather a "must-have" to enhance core competitiveness and meet future challenges.
