Product description

The autonomously driving K-MATIC high-bay truck from Linde is designed for loads of up to 1,500 kilograms and lift heights of up to twelve meters. The intelligent contour navigation (SLAM) safely controls the K-MATIC without additional tracks in the floor or laser reflectors in all common narrow aisle applications. Whether as a stand-alone unit autonomously executing defined process steps or as part of a centrally controlled fleet of robotic vehicles, the high functionality of the K-MATIC enables high handling performance even in complex application requirements. In doing so, the vehicle interacts seamlessly with the customer's infrastructure such as conveyor belts or packing stations. As an autonomous logistics vehicle, it causes less damage to loads and pallets, making it particularly suitable for handling goods of especially high value. Easy and quick to maintain, the robotic vehicle is reliably operational around the clock and can also be operated manually by a driver at any time.

Features

With its on-board safety system, the K-MATIC self-steering truck reacts sensitively to its surroundings. Thanks to its laser- and camera-based safety equipment, which is independent of the navigation technology, the K-MATIC steers safely through the operating environment and reliably detects people and other obstacles. The self-propelled narrow-aisle truck is also equipped with several emergency stop buttons as well as warning tones and flashing lights.

All-round monitoring of the working environment
Combined safety technology with lasers and cameras
Audible and visual warning systems

The K-MATIC automated narrow aisle truck is controlled by the Supervisor software, which optimally coordinates the orders and routes of all MATIC vehicles in use. The system is compatible with common warehouse management and ERP systems and translates the required goods movements into driving orders. The 3D pallet recognition system with integrated distance monitoring ensures smooth storage and retrieval processes in the racking. In addition, the laser and camera-based safety system ensures that the narrow-aisle truck moves without losing much time, even in areas with normal operating traffic. For example, the monitored areas around the truck are adjusted in real time depending on travel speed and curves. If the truck stops because an obstacle has been detected, it automatically resumes the operation as soon as the way is clear again. Changes in the operational environment can be remapped in a short time by laser measurement and imported into the system.

Interface to warehouse management and ERP systems
Intelligent route and job control
Precise control and monitoring of pallet movements
Safe operation with people and non-autonomous vehicles
Flexibly adaptable to changes
Change to manual operation possible at any time

All essential vehicle and job data can be called up on the vehicle via a 7" LCD touch display and read out via USB. By entering a PIN, the technician activates the service mode and can safely perform the necessary maintenance work on the easily accessible components. Maintenance-relevant vehicle data is transmitted wirelessly and evaluated via diagnostic software. This enables predictive maintenance - wear and minor damage are detected at an early stage, and necessary inspection breaks and parts replacements are calculated and planned. This ensures maximum availability of the autonomous vehicle.

Special equipment

For the lateral battery change, Linde offers a battery trolley with robust rollers.

Various battery sizes and mast variants are available for the K-MATIC narrow-aisle truck. This means that the vehicle can be optimally adapted to the respective application requirements.

Thanks to the powerful LED lights of the Linde BlueSpot™, employees are alerted to errant trucks in a pleasant but effective way: no loud noise, no startling, no risk.

The lifting height can be limited electronically. This prevents damage, for example to the ceiling of a warehouse.

Equipped with lateral safety lasers, the K-MATIC can change gears independently, making it even more flexible to use.

The fork width can be adjusted manually or hydraulically to store and retrieve different load carriers.
