Narrow-Aisle Autonomous Forklift MINI 2.0: Intelligent Handling for All Factory Scenarios

In the era of Industry 4.0, intelligent manufacturing has become the core direction for enterprise transformation. As a critical link in production, the level of automation in material handling directly affects overall efficiency. The Reeman narrow-aisle autonomous forklift MINI 2.0, equipped with advanced intelligent hardware and exceptional scene adaptability, delivers a fully automated handling solution to seamlessly connect production lines, warehouses, and workshops.

The intelligent foundation of the narrow-aisle autonomous forklift MINI 2.0 lies in its dedicated forklift PLC execution system and industrial control computer. This hardware combination provides the computational stability needed for consistent, precise performance. The PLC system is optimized for forklift operations, offering accurate control for lifting, tilting, and fork extension to ensure smooth and precise material handling. The industrial PC handles data processing, route planning, and equipment coordination. Combined with LiDAR-based SLAM navigation, the forklift achieves end-to-end automation — from perception to execution. Unlike traditional navigation systems that rely on markers or magnetic strips, SLAM allows real-time map updates and dynamic path adjustments, ensuring safe operation even in environments with moving personnel or temporary obstacles.

Pallet recognition and precision fork-handling technology further elevate MINI 2.0’s intelligence. Using high-definition cameras and advanced image-processing algorithms, the forklift automatically identifies different pallet types and positions — even if a pallet is misaligned or tilted. It precisely locates the fork entry point and completes pickup, transport, and placement autonomously. This reduces the time required for manual alignment and eliminates risks of pallet damage or load instability. In repetitive production environments, the MINI 2.0 can execute multi-batch, multi-specification tasks continuously, improving both speed and consistency.

The forklift’s ability to operate across multiple scenes and floors significantly broadens its application range. Traditional autonomous forklifts are typically restricted to single floors, but the MINI 2.0 integrates an elevator-interaction module, enabling it to detect elevator positions, call the elevator, align with the cabin, and perform cross-floor transport automatically. For multi-story factories or vertical warehouses, this eliminates dependence on manual shifting, ensuring seamless logistics. Whether moving raw materials from the first-floor warehouse to the second-floor production area or delivering finished products from upper floors to the loading dock, the forklift completes the entire process without human intervention.

Designed with a slim chassis and small turning radius, the narrow-aisle autonomous forklift MINI 2.0 excels in complex environments. In dense automotive parts production areas, precision electronics workshops, or tightly spaced food storage corridors, the forklift navigates smoothly, avoids obstacles intelligently, and enters narrow positions with ease. Its high adaptability reduces the need for facility reconstruction, lowering deployment barriers and enabling efficient integration into both standard and non-standard factory layouts.

In terms of digital management, the MINI 2.0 supports seamless integration with MES, WMS, and other factory systems. This enables automated task assignment, real-time operation monitoring, and synchronized logistics data collection. Managers can remotely track forklift status, monitor task progress, and adjust logistics plans as needed. This “visualized, traceable, controllable” mode significantly improves logistical decision-making and resource allocation.

From a single-purpose handling tool to a core intelligent logistics node, the Reeman narrow-aisle autonomous forklift MINI 2.0 is driving factory logistics from passive execution to active adaptation. Whether applied in large-scale manufacturing or small and medium-sized factories, the MINI 2.0 provides measurable gains in efficiency, reduced operational costs, and reliable support for intelligent manufacturing.

Avoid Costly Mistakes: How to Choose the Right AMR Chassis from 4 Proven Types

Image
  As automated material handling and unmanned logistics continue to gain traction, Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) are being widely adopted in factories, warehouses, hospitals, and retail environments. But before launching an AMR project, there’s one key technical decision you can’t overlook:   Which type of AMR chassis is best for your application? In this article, we’ll break down the  four most common AMR base types , comparing their structures, advantages, limitations, and use cases to help you choose the right foundation for your mobile robot. 1. Differential Drive Chassis How It Works: This chassis uses two powered wheels and one or two passive caster wheels. Directional movement is controlled by adjusting the speed of the two drive wheels. Pros: Simple mechanical design, low cost Mature, easy-to-implement control algorithms Ideal for light-duty, small-scale AMR projects Cons: Large turning radius, poor maneuverability in tight spaces Limited traction and ground ada...

How Autonomous Forklifts Navigate Multi-Floor Warehouses

As warehouses grow more vertical to maximize space, one major challenge emerges in automation: 👉 How can autonomous forklifts operate across multiple floors, including elevators and stairwells? Unlike traditional single-floor logistics, multi-story warehouse automation demands more than mobility—it requires intelligence, adaptability, and seamless coordination. This is where AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) forklifts come into play. 1. The Multi-Floor Navigation Challenge In older buildings or dense urban areas, vertical expansion is often the only viable option. But with it comes a unique set of challenges: Many elevators are manually operated or lack smart interfaces. Corridors can be narrow, and floor heights inconsistent. Wireless signal coverage is often patchy across floors. Each floor may follow different workflows or handling protocols. Without proper integration, even the most advanced robot can become stuck—literally—in an elevator shaft. 2. How AMR Forklifts Ov...
