R-MATIC

In addition to the high safety standard of the Linde forklift trucks, the R-MATIC also has an intelligent safety system for when it is used in automated mode. The truck detects its surroundings using sensors. If the 2D curtain laser system identifies an obstacle, the truck reduces its speed and, if necessary, stops. The automated reach truck also uses an innovative 3D camera and a laser to detect pallet openings and loads and to store and retrieve them precisely at high lifting heights. The Dynamic Mast Control (DMC) driver assistance system also balances mast movements with targeted countermovements.

The R-MATIC’s geonavigation does not require any additional infrastructure. The 3D camera means that even the handling of loads at high lifting heights of up to more than eleven meters can take place precisely and efficiently. That is why the truck is especially suited to autonomous storage and retrieval of pallets at medium to high lifting heights and to supplying workstations with necessary parts or goods. There is the option available for loads to be identified via a barcode or RFID scanner. If necessary, the R-MATIC can import the data read into companies’ ERP and warehouse systems.

The geonavigation without additional infrastructure makes it particularly easy, quick and seamless to integrate the R-MATIC into intralogistics processes. Adjusting and scaling the system can also be done in a very flexible way. When maintenance work is required, the truck data from the R-MATIC can be read out and analyzed using a service laptop. All the electronic service components are also easily accessible. In addition, the maintenance-free three-phase technology developed by Linde ensures that work is not interrupted due to downtime.
