AGV Forklift Empowers Unmanned Warehouse Transformation for Russia’s Leading Supermarket

Recently, CIANSUNG’s intelligent unmanned forklift solution has successfully passed full acceptance and officially gone live at the logistics warehouse of a leading supermarket retail chain in Russia. This landmark project marks CIANSUNG’s further penetration into the Eastern European smart logistics market, empowering traditional retail warehousing with stable, efficient, and cost-effective unmanned automation capabilities.

Facing the rapid expansion of offline retail business, the customer’s distribution center was long plagued by typical pain points prevalent in Russia’s retail logistics industry: high daily inbound and outbound throughput, frequent inventory turnover, severe seasonal labor shortages, rising manual labor costs, and unstable manual handling efficiency. In addition, traditional manual operations inevitably caused human errors, cargo abrasion, and delayed order restocking, restricting the overall circulation efficiency of the supermarket’s supply chain.

Different from industrial manufacturing warehouses, retail distribution centers feature frequent pallet switching, mixed SKU handling, and complex peak-order fluctuations. Based on the customer’s actual warehouse layout, narrow aisle environment, and retail business characteristics, CIANSUNG delivered a highly adaptable customized unmanned forklift solution tailored for supermarket logistics scenarios.

Powered by CIANSUNG’s self-developed intelligent scheduling system and 3D SLAM unmanned forklifts, the entire warehouse workflow — including automatic pallet receiving, handling, stacking, and outbound distribution — has achieved full closed-loop unmanned operation.

The deployed AGV forklifts perfectly adapt to the customer’s original warehouse layout without large-scale ground reconstruction or rack modification. Supporting 24/7 stable autonomous operation, the equipment flexibly responds to peak order surges and complex on-site environment changes. The intelligent fleet scheduling system effectively avoids equipment congestion and idle waiting, significantly improving overall warehouse operational efficiency while greatly reducing manual dependence, operational labor costs, and cargo damage rates.

This successful project delivery sets a new benchmark for smart warehouse transformation in Russia’s retail and supermarket industry. It fully verifies CIANSUNG AGV forklifts’ strong environmental adaptability, stable operational performance, and reliable overseas project delivery capabilities under Eastern European warehouse conditions.

Moving forward, CIANSUNG will continue to deepen its global market layout, continuously iterate intelligent logistics hardware and system integration technologies, and provide one-stop, cost-effective unmanned warehouse upgrading solutions for retail, logistics, manufacturing and other industries worldwide, helping more global enterprises realize intelligent, efficient, and low-cost logistics digital transformation.
