Project Background
Under the general trend of digital transformation, the traditional logistics of the factory is facing many challenges. How to help the factory reduce costs and increase efficiency through AI intelligence and driverless technology? How to get through the "last mile" of smart factory logistics? How does the latest generation of L4-level autonomous factory logistics robot of Go Further.AI help Huawei create a new era of factory intelligent logistics and realize a new type of industrialization.
Solution
Through the new super productivity - Eve autonomous light truck, it provides the distribution of standard materials, pallets and other diverse robots, and realizes the automatic docking of autonomous distribution robots with turntables and platform conveyor lines, so as to realize the full autonomous distribution process. Realize the collaborative operation of various autonomous robots, realize the real "joint operation" of factory logistics + logistics operations + intelligent production lines, and build a new format of autonomous and efficient AI transportation capacity for co-creation and sharing.

- Go Further.AI autonomous light truck, 4.8 meters cargo box can be loaded more：According to the "Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety", "Road Traffic Management Motor Vehicle Type" and other regulations, the length of the light truck should be within 6 meters; for the 4.2-meter cargo box of the traditional light truck, Go Further.AI Eve autonomous light truck is based on self-driving ability, four-wheel steering as the base, remove the cockpit, expand the length of the cargo box, and greatly improve the loading capacity and transportation efficiency.
- Precise docking, system stability：Achieving accurate docking between autonomous robots and logistics center equipment is a technical challenge that requires high-precision navigation and control, and it is necessary to ensure the stable operation of the autonomous robot system.
- Modular separation design of cabinet, lightweight compartment design：Cabinets support the replacement of different types or cabinets according to business needs; further optimizing the compartment space and weight to ensure greater usable capacity and load.
- Four-wheel steering, two-way indiscriminate driving, wireless charging, to adapt to more complex scenarios in the factory：Higher flexibility, smaller turning radius, greatly reduced site occupation and interference, increased parking efficiency by more than 50%, adapting to more complex factory environments; non-contact vehicle-grade wireless charging module, real-time and efficient power replenishment during loading, realizing 7X24h full process automation;
- Application of Automatic Docking Technology：Through high-precision navigation and sensing technology, human operation errors are reduced, the accuracy of docking is improved, and the fully automatic docking technology is used to complete the docking between the autonomous robot and the turntable or conveyor line in a short time, reducing manual intervention and improving the continuity of the production line.
- Integrity scheduling management system：Support the combination of automatic docking system and real-time monitoring system, capable of real-time monitoring of robot location, order status, etc.
Application Benefit
The factory is now equipped with multiple Eve-type autonomous distribution robots, which reduce loading and unloading time and labor costs through fully automatic docking. It is estimated that the docking time in the future LiveOps can be shortened by an average of 20%, and the smooth operation of autonomous robots can reduce the accident rate by 50%. In the future, the fully automatic docking system will be further optimized, application scenarios will be expanded, and the overall logistics operation level will be improved.
