The autonomously controlled pallet truck Linde T-Matic Automated Trucks is designed for transport over long distances or for block stacking in preparation for dispatch. The model is designed to take loads of up to 3000 kilograms, and it can be used either alone or as part of an automated fleet. At any given time it is also possible to control the pallet truck manually. The truck’s navigational system does not require any additional installation of control technology, such as tracks on the floor or laser reflectors, but rather uses optical sensors to reliably react to any obstacles or other transport movements within its operational environment. Thanks to innovative safety and navigation technology, the T-MATIC is also suitable for use in environments in which people and automated machines have to work together flexibly and in tight spaces. As an autonomous logistics truck, the Linde T-MATIC causes less damage to cargo and infrastructure.

Safety:

• The optical sensors adjust the speed of the Linde low-platform pallet truck in real time. This allows the truck fleet to keep moving and remain optimally productive, while simultaneously increasing work safety. The safety features, based on laser optics and camera scanning, enable the recognition of people, other trucks, and obstacles and ensure that collisions are reliably avoided. Stop buttons for emergencies, as well as acoustic warning signals and flashing lights, round out the safety features of the T-MATIC.
• Proactive safety system
• Reliable collision avoidance
• Acoustic and visual warning systems

The Linde K-Matic Automated Trucks autonomously driven turret truck is suitable for loads of up to 1,500 kg and lift heights of up to 12 meters. The intelligent geo-navigation system guides the K-matic safely without additional guide rails in the floor or laser reflectors, and is compatible with all common narrow aisle applications. Whether as an individual truck carrying out defined process steps, or as part of a centrally controlled fleet of robotic trucks, the superior functionality of the K-Matic provides high handling performance even for complex operating requirements. When doing so, the truck interacts seamlessly with the customer’s infrastructure, such as belt conveyors or packing stations.  As an autonomous logistics truck, it mitigates damage to loads and pallets and is particularly well-suited to the handling of high-value goods. Quick and easy to maintain, the robotic truck can be relied upon to be ready for use round-the-clock and can also be operated manually by a driver.

Safety:

• Using its own on-board safety system, the self-controlling K-MATIC forklift reacts sensitively to its surroundings: Independently of the navigation technology, laser and camera-based safety equipment steer the K-MATIC safely through its surroundings, reliably detecting people or other obstacles as it does so. The self driving very narrow aisle truck is also equipped with emergency stop buttons and acoustic warning signals and flashing lights.
• All round observation of the working environment
• Combined safety technology with lasers and cameras
• Acoustic and visual warning systems
