XCMG Deploys Intelligent Logistics at Airports

Why this is here: Automated guided vehicles within the XCMG system achieve cargo positioning accuracy of less than 10 millimeters, using a fusion of LiDAR, vision, and ultrasonic technologies.

XCMG established an intelligent logistics system at airports in China, focusing on efficiency and reduced emissions. The system uses autonomous guided vehicles, electric forklifts, and a digital control platform called Hanyun. These AGVs use LiDAR, vision, and ultrasonic technologies to position cargo within 10 mm.

XCMG provides end-to-end handling solutions for loading, unloading, and warehousing. The company also offers services like battery-swapping and equipment leasing, alongside 24/7 support for international operations. Airports in Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Guangzhou currently use the system.

Following implementation, Nanjing Lukou International Airport saw labor costs fall by 40 percent. Cargo damage decreased by 80 percent, and error rates dropped to 0.1 percent. XCMG plans to expand the solution to Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, but further testing is needed in diverse climates and with different cargo types.
