AGV
transfer system
Responding to China’s dual carbon goals, SanYou Tech launched new-energy smart AGVs to replace polluting diesel forklifts in copper cathode transfer. Operational at Tongling Nonferrous since August 2021, these AGVs feature fused GNSS/laser/inertial navigation for autonomous operation along virtual routes, functioning outdoors (except extreme weather) over long distances.
Utilizing LiDAR, odometry, and IMU sensor fusion, they achieve environmental perception, mapping, and navigation in large-scale settings. This eliminates diesel emissions, reduces labor costs, and delivers safe, energy-efficient, fully automated, stable, scalable operations.

Sanyou Technology has laid out a new energy intelligent AGV transfer vehicle project to facilitate the green transformation of the copper industry
Responding to China’s dual carbon goals, Sanmen SanYou Technology Co., Ltd. promotes green tech for traditional industrial upgrading. It launched new-energy AGVs for copper cathode transfer, replacing diesel forklifts to cut energy use and pollution, advancing copper industry sustainability.
project context
Copper industry, a global foundation, relies on polluting diesel forklifts for cathode transfer—causing high energy use, emissions, low efficiency, and costly maintenance. Amid rising carbon/energy demands, especially under China’s dual carbon goals, the sector urgently needs tech innovation to cut emissions, transition energy, and enable smarter, greener production.
Leveraging expertise in smart manufacturing and automation, SanYou Tech launched new-energy AGVs. This move advances both national green initiatives and its own innovation capabilities and market competitiveness.
Intelligent drive for high efficiency, flexible and unobstructed, providing full protection throughout the journey!
The core advantages of the new energy intelligent AGV transfer vehicle
Green and environmentally friendly, reducing carbon emissions
Traditional diesel forklifts emit high carbon during transport, polluting the environment and raising energy costs. Electric smart AGV carts eliminate diesel use, cut CO₂ and harmful gas emissions, align with national carbon neutrality goals, and promote greener industrial practices.
High efficiency and intelligence, enhancing transportation efficiency
Compared to traditional forklifts, smart AGVs enable fully automated transport with minimal human input, improving precision and efficiency. With advanced navigation and scheduling, they plan routes, avoid obstacles, and integrate with production systems, boosting workflow and reducing downtime from human error.
Low energy consumption and economic efficiency
Battery-powered AGV carts offer higher energy efficiency than diesel forklifts. With short charging times, long battery life, and low maintenance costs, they reduce operational expenses and deliver significant economic benefits.
Safe and reliable, reducing the risk of accidents
AGV carts use multiple safety systems—lidar, ultrasonic sensors, and vision tech—to monitor surroundings and avoid collisions, ensuring safe transport. Remote monitoring and diagnostics allow real-time issue detection and reduce downtime from equipment failures.
Sanyou Tech’s smart AGV project is both a green innovation and a response to national carbon goals. By replacing diesel forklifts, it cuts emissions in the copper industry, boosts energy efficiency, and promotes cleaner, smarter, cost-effective production. The project sets a model for low-carbon transitions in other high-energy sectors. Sanyou remains committed to innovation and sustainable growth.
