Question 1

What components does the Solution consist of?

Accepted Answer

The NODE Forky15 Solution combines an autonomous forklift with the NODE.OS software platform, which centrally manages navigation, control and order management. Via a no-code interface, maps, routes, stations and processes can be easily configured without any programming knowledge or expertise. The integrated navigation (NODE.move) enables operation without additional infrastructure, while the forklift independently detects, picks up and transports pallets. Standardized interfaces such as VDA 5050 ensure straightforward integration into existing systems.

Question 2

How does the Solution work in detail?

Accepted Answer

The NODE Forky15 operates autonomously because the forklift can navigate and carry out transport tasks independently without fixed infrastructure such as markers or guide rails. The basis for this is the NODE.OS software platform with integrated navigation (NODE.move), which enables continuous localization and reliable route planning. Maps, routes, stations and orders are set up easily via the NODE.OS user interface, with no programming knowledge required. During operation, the autonomous forklift detects pallets independently, picks them up precisely and transports them to their destination. Sensors continuously monitor the environment, avoid obstacles and adjust the route in real time. In addition, the system can process orders automatically and navigate to the charging station independently when needed. The combination of simple operation and autonomous execution creates a flexible Solution that integrates into existing processes without significant integration effort.

Question 3

What are the unique selling points of this Solution?

Accepted Answer

The unique selling point of NODE Forky15 lies in its consistently simple handling combined with strong performance and a cost-effective entry point. The Solution combines an autonomous forklift with the NODE.OS software platform, which is specifically designed for easy integration, operation and customization. Unlike many other systems, NODE Forky15 requires no expert knowledge or programming. Using the NODE.OS no-code interface, maps, routes and processes can be set up quickly and adjusted at any time as needed. This significantly reduces the implementation effort. In practice, the robot can be commissioned and integrated within a single day. Integration has also been deliberately kept lean: thanks to infrastructure-free navigation and standardized interfaces such as VDA 5050, the system can be incorporated into existing logistics processes without extensive modifications. In most cases, a Wi-Fi connection and the operating environment are all that is needed. A further advantage is the ease of adaptation during live operation. Processes, stations, layouts or transport tasks can be modified flexibly without external support. NODE Forky15 is also designed so that investments pay off even in single-shift operation. The combination of simple operation, reliable performance and a competitive price point creates a Solution that makes automation accessible to companies of any size — without unnecessary complexity.

Question 4

What does your ideal customer look like?

Accepted Answer

NODE Forky15 is aimed at companies of all sizes that want to automate their pallet transport simply and cost-effectively. The autonomous forklift transports loads of up to 1,500 kg and lifts pallets to heights of up to 1.6 m, reliably covering typical intralogistics processes. From small and medium-sized operations starting with a single application to large enterprises with scaling requirements, the Solution offers a low entry barrier and flexible expandability. Particularly for small fleet sizes, no separate fleet management system is required, which further reduces complexity. Thanks to straightforward integration, no-code operation via NODE.OS and the ability to expand systems incrementally, Forky15 is suitable for anyone who wants to automate without high entry barriers and scale efficiently as needed.
