When manufacturing enterprises carry out new plant construction or old plant renovation, taking lithium forklift as the core of the whole plant's material handling system to carry out targeted planning can bring long-term operational efficiency improvement and cost reduction effect, which has been widely recognized by the industrial sector in recent years.

The first core module is the logistics path planning. Different from traditional internal combustion forklifts, lithium forklifts produce no exhaust emission during operation, so there is no need to reserve special large-area ventilation and exhaust channels in the driving area. Enterprises can optimize the width of logistics passages according to the actual turning radius of matched lithium forklifts, appropriately expand the stacking and production area within the same total plant footprint. It is also recommended to set the loading and unloading zone, raw material warehouse, production workshop, finished product warehouse and delivery zone in a connected straight line, to reduce the unnecessary turning and round-trip mileage of lithium forklifts in daily operation.

The second core module is supporting facility layout. Traditional lead-acid forklifts need to set up special independent battery replacement workshops, with special anti-corrosion and acid leakage protection treatments on the ground and metope, while the lithium forklift supporting planning can omit such large independent space, only set up distributed fast charging points at intervals in non-passage nodes of the plant. These charging points do not need special anticorrosion treatment, only need to do a good job of waterproof and electric wire protection according to national safety electrical standards, which saves the construction investment of special facilities.

The third core module is energy efficiency collaborative design. The power consumption data of lithium forklifts can be connected to the plant's overall energy management system, enterprises can arrange the charging plan of all lithium forklifts in the low electricity price period of the power grid, and also can connect the lithium forklift power consumption system with the on-site distributed photovoltaic power generation system, to further reduce the energy cost of material handling links.

Jianshu New Energy, focusing on BYD electric forklift, has accumulated rich practical experience in supporting manufacturing enterprises to complete such targeted plant planning, our professional team can provide whole-process consultation and supporting scheme customization according to the actual production scale, material handling weight, personnel allocation and other actual conditions of the enterprise.
