Transport Hub Delivery Solution
Getting supplies to their point on time in a crowded, complex hub
Industry Background
Airports, rail stations and metro stations are large, busy and give you only narrow windows to work in.
Short working windows
Shop and back-of-house replenishment has to happen off-peak or overnight.
Complex passages and paving
Concourse, link bridges, ramps, tiling and expansion joints all test navigation and the ride.
Several parties to coordinate
Concourse, retail and back-of-house belong to different operators, so rights and hours are agreed one by one.
Staff walk a lot
Shop restocking, cleaning supplies and luggage runs absorb a lot of walking.
Solution Overview
Fengxing M3 moves shop stock, cleaning supplies and equipment between concourses, link bridges and service corridors: independent suspension and off-road tyres handle ramps and jointed paving, clearing 180 mm with 160 mm of ground clearance, while the 100 L compartment and 60 kg rated payload cover bulk replenishment.
Multi-sensor fusion keeps positioning steady where features are weak, such as glass facades and link bridges; the cloud schedules robots by point and time slot and, with geofences and speed zones, slows them down when the concourse is busy.
Solution Advantages
Positioning where features are few
Lidar and vision fusion hold position along link corridors, curtain walls and open concourses.
Ramps and expansion joints
180 mm of obstacle clearance and 160 mm of ground clearance.
Several points in one run
A 100 L powered compartment and 60 kg rated payload cover multiple points per trip.
Zoned relay with remote control
Robots hand over between zones, and exceptions can be taken over remotely.
Scanned handovers
Handovers are confirmed by scanner and the records sync to the system.
What the Site Prepares
Working windows
Low-peak and night restocking windows for shops and service areas, approved by each operator.
Access and interfaces
Gate, door and lift protocols provided, with authorised areas set per operator.
Measured passages
Measured corridor widths, ramps, expansion joints and floor tiles.
Power and parking
A power point and parking space in the service area, clear of concourse routes.
Network coverage
Wi-Fi across the concourse, connecting corridors and service routes, with roaming between zones.
Load and cargo
Restock volume and single-item weight limits agreed - 60 kg rated and a 100 L cargo box here.
Handover points
Service unloading point, shop handover points and the named owners.
Where It Fits and How It Is Deployed
Typical tasks
Shop and catering restocking, cleaning and engineering supplies, documents in office areas, short runs for lost property and luggage.
How it is deployed
Mapping along service corridors and the edges of the concourse with speed limits and pedestrian-avoidance zones, and charging or parking in the back-of-house area.
System integration
Commercial management, ticketing and cleaning rota systems, with a scanner for handover confirmation.
Hubs are usually run by several parties, so we map the passable areas and working windows with the operator.
