When logistics and manufacturing enterprises sort out their internal operation systems, planning around material handling equipment is often an easily overlooked but highly critical link, which directly determines the overall space utilization rate of the warehouse and the daily operation efficiency of the handling team.

At the initial stage of planning, it is necessary to complete full-coverage site survey first. The core indicators to be measured include the minimum width of each operation channel, the height difference of loading and unloading platforms, the maximum height of existing and planned shelves, and the maximum weight of daily handled goods. These data can help match the proper parameters of electric forklifts, such as the minimum turning radius, maximum lifting height and rated load capacity, to avoid the situation that the selected equipment cannot adapt to the actual site condition and cannot give full play to its due performance.

After confirming the matching parameters of the handling equipment, the next step is to carry out collaborative path planning. It is recommended to separate the driving paths of material handling equipment from pedestrian passages as much as possible, and set obvious warning signs at necessary intersections to reduce the risk of safety accidents. Meanwhile, it is advisable to set up a special centralized charging and temporary parking area for electric forklifts at the edge of the operation area, which will not occupy the main passage for handling, and can also shorten the average driving distance of equipment for charging, effectively reduce the unnecessary no-load driving mileage, and lower the overall energy consumption of daily operation.

In addition to meeting the current operation demand, it is also necessary to reserve appropriate dynamic redundancy for the planning scheme. Combined with the business growth expectation of the enterprise in the next 2 to 3 years, reserve enough expansion space for the subsequent increase of electric forklift fleet, the adjustment of shelf layout and the possible intelligent transformation of logistics system, which can avoid the repeated transformation of the warehouse space in a short period and effectively reduce the long-term operation cost.
