Autonomous Forklift: Cargo Posture Monitoring and 3D Pathway Protection

Scenario Requirements and Pain Points:
When unmanned forklifts are moving at high speeds while handling goods, they face a dual risk: First, there’s the safety of the cargo itself—emergency stops or sharp turns could cause stacked goods to tilt, slide, or even collapse. Second, there’s the issue of blind spots: Heavily stacked goods often obstruct the line of sight of sensors located beneath the vehicle body, causing the forklift to “fail to see” low-lying obstacles or suspended objects directly in front of it. If the forklift cannot detect the status of the cargo and identify blind-spot risks in real time, it will easily lead to severe damage to the goods or collision accidents.

Application Logic:
A T52 3D depth-imaging LiDAR is installed at the center of the forklift’s carriage. The radar moves in sync with the forks, projecting a wide-field-of-view 3D laser beam forward.
Cargo posture monitoring: The T52 system performs real-time 3D scanning of the cargo on pallets, using point cloud data analysis to determine whether the cargo is centered, tilted, or showing any tendency toward displacement. Once an anomaly is detected, the forklift immediately slows down or stops to make adjustments.
Blind-spot supplementation: Meanwhile, the radar’s field of view covers the driving path ahead of the cargo, enabling it to detect ground obstacles that are obscured by the cargo and thereby establishing a dynamically adaptive three-dimensional collision-avoidance zone.

Technological Advantages:
The T52 is specifically designed for forklift applications and features a fully solid-state design with no mechanical moving parts, offering exceptional resistance to vibration and shock. It is perfectly suited to the demanding conditions of forklift masts that frequently rise and lower and encounter rough terrain. Its optimized wide-angle field of view (FOV) provides complete coverage of standard pallet widths at close range, and combined with millimeter-level depth resolution, it not only serves as a “safety officer” but also functions as a “quality inspector,” ensuring that every load is intact and the path remains safe throughout the entire handling operation.
