REEMAN launches wireless linked workstation for forklifts and wrapping machines
2 reports · 1 sources
REEMAN has released an intelligent pallet wrapping and handling workstation that connects an Ironhide autonomous forklift with a rated load of 1.5 tonnes to a turntable wrapping machine in a continuous process via an external wireless communication module. The module can use I/O, RS485, Ethernet or CAN interfaces depending on the equipment controller, and the wireless link uses LoRa or Wi-Fi. REEMAN says that in the demonstration scenario, pickup alignment deviation is ≤2 cm and drop-off deviation is ≤5 cm, wrapping and film cutting are completed automatically, and the full handling and packaging process takes about 6 minutes. The 1.5 tonnes is the rated load of the Ironhide configuration shown, not the pallet weight measured in the video; about 6 minutes refers to the complete demonstration process, not the time for a single wrap, and does not constitute a guarantee of hourly throughput. Whether the solution can be deployed depends crucially on whether existing wrapping machines provide suitable control signals or communication interfaces.

- How Can Autonomous Forklifts Turn Existing Stretch Wrappers into Automated Packaging Workstations? — REEMAN Ironhide Wireless Docking and Jingmen Factory Deployment
REEMAN outlines an approach for retrofitting existing stretch wrappers using Ironhide autonomous forklifts: the forklift handles pallet pickup, placement, and warehouse transport, while the stretch wrapper continues to perform packaging, requiring a machine control interface, status feedback, and safety interlocks. In its wireless docking demonstration, pickup alignment deviation was within 2 cm and turntable placement deviation was within 5 cm, with the demonstration process taking about 6 minutes. There is also an Ironhide 3.0 deployment at a factory in Jingmen, Hubei; the two applications are independent of each other, and the data comes from REEMAN application materials and has not been independently verified.
