Question 1

How long does autonomous forklift deployment take?

Accepted Answer

A standard FlyWei autonomous forklift deployment takes 8–14 weeks from initial site survey to go-live. This includes site mapping, SLAM navigation calibration, WMS integration, safety validation, and operator training. Larger multi-zone deployments with fleet sizes above 20 robots typically run 14–20 weeks. The four-phase methodology — Discover, Simulate, Deploy, Audit — keeps each milestone predictable.

Question 2

What certifications do FlyWei autonomous forklifts carry?

Accepted Answer

All 18 autonomous forklift models distributed by FlyWei Robotics are CE-certified for UK and EU operation. They comply with VDA5050, the open communication protocol that allows mixed-vendor robot fleets to communicate with a single fleet management system. Deployments are carried out in compliance with UK PUWER (Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations) and LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations).

Question 3

Which autonomous forklift model is right for my warehouse?

Accepted Answer

The right model depends on load capacity, aisle width, lift height, and floor type. Counterbalanced models (SFL-CPD, SCB series, 1,400–3,000 kg) suit wide-aisle pallet operations. Reach trucks (SSR, SCB-1400) handle high-bay narrow-aisle racking up to 8 m. Stacker forklifts (SSS, SOS, 1,000–2,000 kg) are optimised for very-narrow-aisle environments. FlyWei's solution engineers provide a free site survey and simulation to recommend the correct SKU.

Question 4

Do autonomous forklifts integrate with existing WMS or ERP systems?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All FlyWei autonomous forklifts connect to the M4 fleet management platform, which supports WMS, WCS, and ERP integration via REST API and VDA5050 open protocol. M4 acts as the orchestration layer — receiving orders from your existing warehouse management system and dispatching robot tasks automatically. Supported integrations include SAP EWM, Manhattan Associates, and custom WMS platforms via standard API connectors.
