In fact, in many business, logistics management becomes more difficult and complex because of the explosive growth. The application of automated forklift together with intelligent warehouse system to manage goods minimizes labor accidents. Driving a forklift with large and bulky goods makes driver difficult to see, causing them to drive backwards for maximum visibility. It leads to many potential dangers. Besides, the use of automated forklift to lift goods on high shelves avoids the situation of dropping goods, reducing the risk of labor accidents.
This situation is completely overcome when using automated forklift.
