Ubisense and Daifuku announce world's first Smart Warehouse area
management system
- Personnel safety system achieves ISO certification and is now
commercially available -
Cambridge, UK - Ubisense Group plc ("Ubisense" or the "Company")
(AIM:UBI), a market leader in real time location intelligence
solutions and Daifuku Corporation (TYO: 6383), one of the world's
leading material handling systems providers, announce that they
have developed a Smart Warehouse "area management system" that has
achieved ISO certification and is now commercially available.
The system has been developed to improve the safety of personnel
in warehouse and distribution centres, in particular those using
fork lift trucks (FLTs) and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) in
high-speed vehicle systems.
Such a system has not been possible before due to the
limitations of other technologies at capturing the movement of the
FLTs and AGVs reliably enough to provide useful data. The newly
certified system is capable of measuring in real-time the position
of a distribution centre operator relative to that of fork lift
trucks and automated guided vehicles in order to control the
operational speed of the vehicle and avoid accidents.
The tests were verified in an operational setting at the
Ajinomoto Company facilities in Tatebayashi and were supported by
the Japanese Ministry of Trade and Industry and standards body
JIS/NEDO.
Commenting on the launch, Richard Green, CEO Ubisense said:
"Achieving a world first with our strategic partner in Japan is a
sure sign of the value of our partnership and should lead to the
deployment of Smart Warehouse systems across Daifuku's extensive
customer base."
