BALYO (Paris:BALYO) (FR0013258399, Ticker: BALYO,
eligible for the PEA-PME plan), a technological leader in the
design and development of innovative robotic solutions for material
handling trucks, announces the launch of a new generation of reach
truck robots.
Pascal Rialland, CEO of BALYO, comments: « Driven by
innovation, at the heart of the DNA of BALYO, a pioneer in robotic
solutions for materials handling trucks, we are proud to announce
the launch of a new generation of robots that will facilitate the
robotization of our customers' logistics operations. Offering an
improved customer experience and easy to deploy as they do not
require any modification of existing storage infrastructures, these
robots offer performance levels close to or even superior to those
of an operator. With extended functionalities (wide range of
applications, increased diversity of pallets transported), the
launch of this new range confirms our position as a key player in
the mobile robotic sector. »
Markus Schmermund, VP Automation & Intralogistics
Solutions, LMH EMEA, also comments: « This second- automated reach
truck generation, R-MATIC, is a full-fledged partner in pallet
storage applications. Thanks to its optimized mechanical design and
the renewal of its key sensors, this robot today represents the
state of the art in its ability to operate in the narrowest aisles
and an unprecedented ability to recognize all types of pallets. The
performance achieved sets a new standard in our industry while
guaranteeing a very high level of safety and precision. »
Designed specifically for the handling and storage of pallets at
high heights in racking warehouses, the second generation of reach
truck robots integrates differentiating improvements for
manufacturers, optimizing their storage space and operating
costs:
- Easy to deploy: no modification of
existing infrastructures is required. Since its creation, the ease
of robot deployment has remained a priority at the heart of BALYO's
strategy, which is to make robotics simple for its customers;
- Improvement of the truck's operational
performance: load capacity of 1.6 tons up to 11.40 meters, a
speed of up to 2m/s and operation in narrower storage aisles (2.90
meters compared with 3.20 meters to 3.40 meters previously);
- Diversification of pallet types via new
algorithms: a basic requirement for industrial or 3PL
customers, the robot is now able to transport a greater diversity
of pallets within the same site. This evolution is allowed by the
simultaneous availability of the 2nd generation of advanced
relative perception algorithms, on which BALYO has been investing
for 18 months now. This 3D load detection function secures the
pick-up and drop-off of pallets and optimizes their speed. Coupled
with the "anti drag & push" pallet movement control function
and 360° safety, it ensures a significant reduction in the risk of
falling loads, particularly for applications at height;
- Acceleration and improved accuracy of
movements thanks to new control systems coupled with a
reinforced safety management strategy. Thus the robot equals or
even exceeds human performance on certain applications, especially
in pick and drop operations beyond the second storage level.
The new generation robot is autonomous even in the management of
its energy, and is equipped with an automated recharging solution.
Developed on the basis of a Linde manual hand truck, this robot is
also equipped with the dual drive mode, allowing the operator to
manually take over control of operations at any time.
Already available from the Company's partners, the new
generation of robots will soon be available on a "pay-per-use"
basis (robotics as a service) and thus include the new remote
supervision and control platform, as it is already the case with
the Driven by BALYO stacker and counterbalanced stacker robots.
ABOUT BALYO
Balyo transforms standard forklift trucks into standalone
intelligent robots thanks to its breakthrough proprietary Driven by
Balyo™ technology. The geoguidance navigation system developed by
Balyo allows vehicles equipped with the system to locate their
position and navigate autonomously inside buildings. Within the
automated handling vehicle market, Balyo has entered into two
strategic agreements with Kion Group AG (Linde Material Handling's
parent company) and Hyster-Yale Group, two major operators in the
material handling sector. Balyo is present in three major
geographic regions (Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific). Its sales
revenue reached €20.4 million in 2019. For more information, please
