BYD Revolutionizes Battery Production with ForwardX Robotics’ AMR Solutions.
BYD, a trailblazer in electric vehicles and sustainable technology, continues to push the boundaries of innovation with its latest collaboration. Partnering with ForwardX Robotics, a global leader in autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), BYD has deployed groundbreaking automation solutions in their advanced battery production line, heralding a new era of efficiency and eco-friendly manufacturing.
In response to the surging demand for batteries in the electric vehicle market, BYD has transformed its production process by integrating ForwardX Robotics’ AMRs and customized autonomous forklifts. The implementation of these technologies marks a significant departure from conventional manual labor-intensive methods, which are not only costly but also inefficient for meeting the industry’s rapid growth. BYD’s facility is home to nine units of ForwardX Robotics’ Max 1500-L Slim AMRs and six units of specially tailored Apex 2000 Autonomous forklifts equipped with customized 2.4-meter fork lengths. Covering an expansive operational area of 15,000 to 16,000 square meters, these AMRs and forklifts work seamlessly to optimize material transport and streamline production workflows.
The workflow within the facility has been revolutionized with advanced automation technology. Line-side operators initiate material requests via handheld PDAs, triggering real-time prompts on intelligent dashboards for warehouse personnel. With precision and speed, materials are prepared and dispatched to designated workstations, where Max AMRs and Apex forklifts autonomously navigate to fulfill tasks.
