Learn how the innovative new warehouse navigation system at the InterChange Group’s cold storage facility uses Jungheinrich semi-automated forklifts with embedded RFID chips in the facility floor to track the lift truck’s location, both vertically and horizontally, to within millimeters.

The system directs the forklift to the exact next pick location with one push of a toggle; the speed and accuracy of the system, eliminating the need to scan barcodes at each location, has increased productivity over a manual system.
