At the same time, CAI Chuanyu said, think tank Intelligent’s new pallet four-way car has the characteristics of free maintenance, mainly benefited from two aspects: one is the use of “RFID+ photoelectric” fusion positioning method, to solve the traditional two-dimensional code, bar code positioning method need frequent maintenance; Second, the vehicle adopts full gear box mechanical transmission technology, instead of the traditional hydraulic drive reversing and jacking technology. Compared with chain-driven walking, this way has the advantages of easy maintenance, low cost, and thinner body, saving more storage space.
In addition, Think Tank Intelligent adopts the highly matching design form of intelligent storage software and hardware equipment, defines hardware according to software requirements, designs software according to hardware characteristics, and focuses on the scheduling capability of multi-vehicle cluster and the compatibility and stability of the overall solution.
CAI Chuanyu introduced that in terms of software capability, the company’s self-developed intelligent warehousing software (IWMS/IWCS/RMS) can realize a variety of optimal warehousing strategies and support real-time interaction between software and hardware. Among them, RMS system can support the cluster scheduling of more than 100 vehicles. By using intelligent scheduling algorithm and swarm intelligence algorithm, it can realize the dynamic planning of vehicle routing, avoid vehicle congestion and path conflict, and ensure efficient operation.
He pointed out: “Compared with many friends who only focus on providing hardware equipment, think tank intelligence is different in that it has a deep research on a variety of storage software and hardware used in combination with the algorithm as the core. From the actual effect, the comprehensive efficiency of the intelligent three-dimensional warehouse built by the company can reach 2 to 3 times of the traditional storage form, reach 1.3 to 1.5 times of the ordinary automated warehouse, and increase 15%-20% compared with the industry average under the same hardware product configuration.”
In terms of product/service delivery mode, Think Tank Intelligent adopts the approach of “standardized solution + customer customization” to adapt to multi-industry warehouse scenario. Compared with the industry’s non-standard product integrated delivery model, the company can achieve rapid global replication delivery in 2 to 3 months, reducing the overall delivery time by at least 40%.
Up to now, think Tank Intelligence has landed more than 400 projects in more than 10 industries such as power, food, cold chain, new energy, third party logistics, precision manufacturing, medicine and so on, with business covering more than 20 provinces and municipalities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Sichuan and Ningxia.
At the same time, the company has begun to layout overseas market, core products in the Japanese market has been mature cases. CAI Chuanyu said, “In 2021 and 2022, the company’s revenue exceeded 100 million yuan. In 2022, the company’s four-way shuttle sales increased 182% year on year, and revenue is expected to exceed 1 billion in 2026.”
As for the team, CAI Chuanyu, the founder and CEO of Think Tank Intelligence, graduated from Huazhong University of Science and Technology with a bachelor’s degree and has many years of experience in strategic consulting, technology integration and service management in the field of smart supply chain. Core members of the team have rich research and practical experience in supply chain management consulting, robotics, embedded software and hardware, software engineering, artificial intelligence algorithms, etc.
Investor viewpoint
Yuan Hao, chief investment officer of Jinsha Capital, said: “The new demand of the global manufacturing industry is driving the improvement of the efficiency of intelligent warehousing. We judge that the intelligent warehousing scene is a certain short-term large-scale landing of the trillion market. The think tank is focused on the intelligent pallet storage scene with the largest application space. The founding team has more than 10 years of industry experience, both soft and hard, has established leading products and technology advantages in the segmented four-way shuttle car product track, has the ability of large-scale and global delivery, and has landed benchmarking cases in several key industries such as energy and manufacturing. We are very optimistic about the long-term development potential of the engineer team led by Chairman CAI Chuanyu in the intelligent logistics track, and look forward to the future think Tank Intelligence and Shagang industry collaboration, to become the world’s leading intelligent warehousing solutions company.”
Strategic investor Zhangjiagang Shazhou Kechuang said: “High-end intelligent manufacturing is the key introduction and development of Zhangjiagang industry, think tank intelligent focusing on pallet storage robot subdivision circuit is very suitable for the industrial development direction of Zhangjiagang. The company has a core team of high executive force, innovation and technical strength, providing “pallet-to-person” intelligent warehousing solutions for global customers, and its products have been verified in practice in the market. We firmly believe that the project will have a good future.”
