Smart forklifts need a pallet’s spatial position and pose to dock during pickup and placement. Lighting, background, pallet geometry, and stacking density can affect recognition based on 2D images or single-point ranging.
Pallet recognition for a smart forklift

Solution overview

PalletPro uses a ToF depth camera to capture a pallet point cloud and outputs geometric features, position, and pose through the recognition algorithm. Historical test records report distance error within ±10 mm at a 2 m working distance; validate actual performance against pallet type, installation, and site conditions.

Solution characteristics

  • 3D pose output: Support pallet recognition from initial localization through fine positioning.
  • Multiple pallet types: Configure recognition for pallets with different shapes, sizes, and materials.
  • Complex-scene recognition: Use depth data to reduce the impact of complex backgrounds and lighting changes.
  • Outdoor support: Historical material includes outdoor tests; validate the target environment before deployment.
