Application Case | Multi layer sorting AGV solution for small NC packages of a well-known express delivery enterprise

In today's rapidly changing express delivery industry, efficient and accurate sorting systems have become the key to enhancing the competitiveness of enterprises.  Faced with complex and ever-changing small NC packages (i.e. packages that are lightweight, of varying sizes, and have special properties), traditional manual sorting methods are no longer able to meet the growing business demands.  To this end, a well-known express delivery company has taken the lead in introducing a multi-layer sorting AGV (Automatic Guided Vehicle) solution, successfully achieving automated and intelligent sorting of small NC packages, setting a new benchmark for the industry.


1、 Project Background

With the booming development of e-commerce, the volume of express delivery services has grown sharply, especially the proportion of small NC packages has been increasing year by year.  These packages pose significant challenges to traditional sorting systems due to their unique physical characteristics and complex sorting requirements.  Manual sorting is not only inefficient, but also prone to errors, especially during peak periods, making it difficult to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of sorting.  Therefore, the company has decided to introduce a multi-layer sorting AGV solution to empower technology and improve sorting efficiency and accuracy.

2、 Scheme design and implementation

1. Composition of Multi layer Sorting AGV System


This multi-layer sorting AGV solution innovatively designs a structure that combines the main frame with the lifting platform.  The main frame is equipped with 3 columns and 5 rows, totaling 15 compartments. Each compartment is equipped with an independent automatic transmission line, which can adjust the tilt angle according to the size and weight of the package to ensure stable transmission.  On the lifting platform, there are three automatic transmission lines that correspond one-to-one with the grid openings on the main frame, achieving efficient transfer of packages from AGV to the on-site counter.


2. Intelligent recognition and precise delivery


After manually scanning the package code, the system quickly reads the package information through advanced image recognition technology and RFID technology, and instructs the AGV car to deliver according to the preset path and optimal delivery route. The AGV car adopts a high-precision navigation system to ensure accurate positioning even in complex environments. The success rate of package delivery is as high as 99.99%, and the error rate is less than 0.01%.


3. Flexible avoidance and efficient collaboration

In the face of multiple AGV vehicles working in the same area, the system has a powerful collision avoidance function.  By sensing the real-time position of pedestrians, obstacles, and other AGV vehicles in the surrounding environment, the driving route is automatically adjusted to ensure safe and smooth completion of tasks.  At the same time, the system can optimize the delivery route based on real-time data, improving overall sorting efficiency.


3、 Core values

1. Improve sorting efficiency and accuracy

The implementation of the multi-layer sorting AGV scheme has significantly improved the sorting efficiency and accuracy of small NC packages.  In the laboratory environment, the delivery efficiency has reached 400 pieces/hour, and in the actual environment, it meets the efficiency requirements of 400 delivery ports and 4000 pieces/hour.  This not only significantly shortens the sorting time of packages, but also reduces the problem of incorrect sorting caused by human factors.

2. Reduce labor costs and intensity

The introduction of automated sorting systems has effectively reduced the labor intensity of employees and lowered labor costs.  Employees only need to complete simple scanning operations, and the rest of the work is automatically completed by the AGV car.  This not only improves employees' job satisfaction and happiness, but also saves a lot of human resource costs for the company.

3. Enhance corporate image and competitiveness

The express delivery company has demonstrated its determination and strength in technological innovation and intelligent transformation by introducing a multi-layer sorting AGV solution.  This not only enhances the brand image and market recognition of the enterprise, but also strengthens its market competitiveness.  In the future express delivery industry, the company is expected to continue to maintain its leading position and lead the trend of industry development.


The successful practice of the NC package multi-layer sorting AGV solution not only brings significant economic and social benefits to the enterprise itself, but also provides useful reference and inspiration for the intelligent transformation of the entire express delivery industry.
