Blog article "Improving Reduction of Forklift Numbers through Flow Analysis!"

ＮＸ総合研究所

Forklifts are used in factories and logistics warehouses to handle and transport large cargo and pallets that cannot be managed manually. However, when site managers look over the area, they may notice that some forklifts are not in operation. Many people might wonder, "Do we really need this many forklifts?" or "Could we reduce the number of forklifts a bit more?" when they see such a situation. With conventional forklifts, it is only possible to check the operating hours using an hour meter, and it is not possible to grasp the operational status by time segments, the locations traveled, or the ratio of empty runs to loaded runs. This time, we will introduce a case where a housing equipment manufacturer worked on reducing the number of forklifts using a system called "Rojitan Fork," which utilizes beacons and sensors.
