OUR SOLUTION

INTELLIGENT MANAGEMENT FOR HUMAN-DRIVEN VEHICLES

The Forklift Guidance System by NAiSE transforms traditional forklift and tugger train operations into a fully connected, intelligent ecosystem. By integrating Traffic, Order and Warehouse Management into a single module, it enables real-time coordination and seamless communication for human-driven vehicles. With advanced localization technology and a dedicated Order Execution Terminal, every vehicle becomes a visible and manageable participant within intralogistics workflows, bridging the gap between manual operations and automated systems.

TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT

SMART TRAFFIC ORCHESTRATION

NAiSE Traffic Manager enables efficient coordination of forklifts and tugger trains within intralogistics environments. By processing real-time localization data, the system monitors every vehicle’s position, predicts potential conflicts, and dynamically adjusts traffic flow to avoid collisions and bottlenecks. Manual vehicles become part of a centrally managed ecosystem where routes are optimized, priorities are balanced, and movements are continuously synchronized with overall intralogistics processes.

ORDER MANAGEMENT

DIGITAL TASK COORDINATION

NAiSE Order Manager brings manual vehicles like forklifts and tugger trains into a fully digital order flow. Instead of relying on paper-based instructions or radio communication, tasks are assigned and managed directly through the NAiSE Order Execution Terminal installed in each vehicle. Drivers receive clear instructions, can confirm progress in real time, and immediately react to new or updated orders. This ensures smooth task execution, eliminates miscommunication, and provides full transparency over material flows.

WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT

SMART INVENTORY FLOWS

NAiSE Warehouse Manager connects manual vehicles like forklifts and tugger trains directly to warehouse operations. Through the NAiSE platform, drivers can execute tasks related to inventory handling, including rebooking handling units, directly from the Order Execution Terminal. This integration ensures transparent material flow, reduces manual errors, and bridges the gap between transport operations and warehouse processes.

REAL-TIME LOCALIZATION

PRECISE VEHICLE TRACKING

NAiSE Forklift Guidance System uses Real-Time Localization System (RTLS) technology to integrate forklifts and tugger trains into warehouse operations. By supporting both NAiSE’s UWB-based RTLS and third-party solutions, the platform ensures flexibility for different facility setups. Real-time position data flows directly into the NAiSE system, enabling managers to optimize routes, avoid collisions, and streamline task execution across intralogistics.

NAiSE ORDER EXECUTION TERMINAL

CENTRAL HUB FOR FORKLIFT AUTOMATION

The Order Execution Terminal is built to empower drivers, streamline workflows, and ensure every task is executed efficiently. Its intuitive interface and real-time connectivity turn manual vehicles into fully integrated, responsive participants in your intralogistics operations.

OVERVIEW OF TASKS

STAY ON TOP OF EVERY TASK

Drivers get a complete overview of all assigned tasks, including priorities and deadlines. This ensures nothing is missed and allows for better planning throughout the shift. Visibility into the workflow keeps operations organized and efficient.

TASK EXECUTION INSTRUCTIONS

EXECUTE WITH CONFIDENCE

Step-by-step guidance provides clear instructions for every task, reducing errors and boosting productivity. Drivers can focus on execution without second-guessing what to do next. Efficiency and accuracy are built into every move.

REAL-TIME COMMUNICATION OF NEW TASKS

INSTANT UPDATES, NO DELAYS

New or updated tasks are communicated in real time, allowing drivers to react immediately to changing priorities. No more waiting or miscommunication—operations stay fluid and responsive. Every change is captured instantly for complete transparency.
