Robots built for efficiency and safety
The unique thing about BALYO solutions is that they begin with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) base trucks that are designed and produced at a huge scale. By adding autonomy to them, BALYO brings two distinct advantages:
The ability to have easy service, spare parts and maintenance ready to hand; a local partner network that brings a level of ease to our clients.
BALYO’s solutions enhance employee safety and efficiency; and their robotic lift trucks overcome labour shortages.
The modern artificial intelligence-powered robots are capable of acting as dependable assistants. They allow workers to be more efficient, while also being suited to hazardous environments. Rather than replacing employees, our solutions enable them to carry out more valuable tasks while working alongside the robots.
A safer work setting is provided through smart safety and stop-and-go features. BALYO’s robots scan the environment in real time for obstructions and instruct the trucks or tow tractors to move or stop accordingly. The cutting-edge SLAM navigation allows for the robots to navigate in a changing environment without the need to add additional infrastructure such as reflectors or QR codes.
BALYO’s strict safety standards (based on ISO 3691-4) will bring customers the highest levels of reassurance, even when working in an environment surrounded with personnel. On top of that, the whole range of AGVs is dual mode, meaning it can be used both in automatic mode or in manual mode.
Robotic user journey with Körber x Balyo
Established 17 years ago, BALYO has offices in three continents and has deployed more than 1,000 robots worldwide. Pascal Rialland, CEO of BALYO, believes the collaboration with Körber Supply Chain – who have assisted many companies to integrate automation in their warehouses – will develop an industry leading partner network that meets local and global needs for sector verticals and logistics customers.
Together, our mission is to become the long term local and global partner of supply chains around the world – by bringing innovation to warehousing, lowering the cost of pallet movements and improving safety inside the facility.
Recently, Pascal discussed how “Kӧrber’s expertise in warehousing and logistics, and their global presence, reinforces the complementary nature of the two companies.” He said that the partnership with Körber Supply Chain is a major asset for deploying BALYO’s complementary solutions to its customers.
The time for autonomous material handling is now
Every warehouse is different and features a particular set of unique processes to tackle different challenges. The expertise of both BALYO and Körber Supply Chain will take customers on a journey to help figure out how automation is feasible and applicable to your operations. Multiple models are evaluated, and the best one – with the best return on investment – will be the key to taking your business to the next level.
The time for companies to assess their supply chains and embrace automation and robotics is now. Adopting technology today will provide significant improvements in productivity and efficiency, while reducing labour costs and improving customer satisfaction.
After the disruption our supply chains have witnessed over the last few years, we must now begin to recover. Recovery is the chance to reshape and enhance existing processes. Robots are an important improvement on how we used to work. They give us the opportunity to revolutionise our facilities and make them truly progressive and sustainable long into the future.
Don’t hesitate to take your first step to technology adoption. Talk to Körber Supply Chain today to understand if and how robotic forklift automation could benefit your business.
