The invention discloses a UWB based fork
truck anti-
collision system and method. The
system comprises fork
truck module which is arranged in a fork
truck and a warehouse module which is placed in a warehouse. The fork truck module comprises a storage
battery pack of the fork truck, a vehicle-mounted
tablet computer, a UWB reader, a UWB antenna and a UWB
label placed at the top of the truck, wherein the UWB antenna is connected with the UWB reader via a
serial port, and the storage
battery pack of the fork truck supplies power to the UWB reader.
Power consumption of the UWB
label is extremely low, so that a
dry cell is used to supply power to the
label, and one AAA
cell can satisfy power requirements of the label for one year. The warehouse module comprises a power supply module, a reference label, a UWB antenna, a UWB reader, a synchronization
distributor, a switch, a
server and a display, wherein the UWB antenna is connected with the UWB reader via the
serial port, then to the synchronization
distributor via a cable, and finally to the
server via the
Ethernet switch; and the power supply module (namely, the storage
battery pack of the fork truck) uses 48V DC to supply power to the UWB reader.
