Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) Guidance Systems
In the world of warehouse operations and logistics, maximizing space while maintaining efficiency is crucial. That’s where Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) guidance systems come into play. These systems are designed to optimize the use of storage space by allowing forklifts and other material handling equipment to operate in much narrower aisles than traditional systems.
What is a VNA Guidance System?
A VNA guidance system is a technology used to guide forklifts or similar vehicles within extremely narrow aisles, typically less than 6 feet wide. These systems are generally installed in high-density storage areas where maximizing floor space is essential. The guidance system keeps the vehicle centered in the aisle, reducing the risk of collisions with racks, goods, or other vehicles.
How Do VNA Guidance Systems Work?
VNA guidance systems usually rely on two main types of technology: wire guidance and rail guidance.
- Wire Guidance: This involves embedding a wire in the floor along the center of the aisle. The wire emits a low-frequency signal that the vehicle’s sensors detect, guiding it precisely along the path. This method is highly accurate and allows for smooth, automated navigation within the aisle.
- Rail Guidance: In this setup, physical rails are installed on the floor along the aisles. The vehicle has guide rollers that follow the rails, ensuring it stays on course. This system is robust and requires minimal electronic components, making it less prone to technical issues.
