To avoid high-intensity, error-prone, and dangerous labor practices in this automotive welding shop, Dongfeng sought a solution requiring ForwardX’s Flex and Max series AMRs. Workers use PDAs to issue replenishment requests, which signals one AMR to the line-side workstation and another to the buffer area. The line-side AMR then transports an empty pallet to the warehouse storage while the buffer zone AMR brings a full pallet to the line-side. This ceaseless material replenishment process is supported by the f(x) Fleet Manager.
