Jungheinrich Forklift Enhances Logistics Operations Using Digital Twin Technology

Jungheinrich Forklift (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the German Jungheinrich Group, has been a significant player in providing forklift handling equipment since 1953. Recently, the company identified areas for improvement in project planning phases. Shi Ruohong, the technical manager, noted that many solutions that seemed effective on paper only revealed their advantages and flaws upon actual implementation, uncovering potential bottlenecks and areas for optimization.

To address these issues, Jungheinrich turned to Emulate3D™, a digital twin software that enhances project lifecycle management from design through implementation. This technology bridges the gap between theoretical planning and practical application, allowing for the anticipation of potential obstacles and the optimization of space and resources in project planning. By creating a digital twin of projects, Emulate3D enables Jungheinrich to improve design accuracy and efficiency, reduce design time, and enhance project success rates.

The software’s dynamic display capabilities were particularly useful not only in project implementation but also in creating detailed 3D dynamic demonstration videos for significant exhibitions like CIIE, improving Jungheinrich’s visibility in China. The intuitive interface and robust simulation engine of Emulate3D facilitate easy modeling and comprehensive development, catering to both novices and advanced users.

Shi highlighted that the future applications of Emulate3D extend beyond current projects. The company plans to use this technology for virtual debugging and to develop a VR/AR-based technical support solution for after-sales service, providing real-time remote assistance. These initiatives reflect Jungheinrich’s commitment to innovation and its strategy to stay ahead in the evolving smart logistics landscape, leveraging advanced technologies to expand its capabilities and customer offerings.
