LONDON (Alliance News) - Ubisense Group PLC said Wednesday that it had teamed up with Japanese material handling system provider Daifuku Corporation to develop and launch a Smart Warehouse 'area management system.'
The system will be used to monitor the positions of fork lift trucks and automated guided vehicles in a warehouse in real-time in order to control the vehicles and avoid accidents.
The new system has received ISO certification, Ubisense said, and is now commercially available.
"Achieving a world first with our strategic partner in Japan is a sure sign of the value of our partnership and should lead to the deployment of Smart Warehouse systems across Daifuku's extensive customer base," said Chief Executive Officer Richard Green in a statement.
Shares in Ubisense were trading up 2.7% at 267.00 pence Wednesday afternoon.
