APACHE flying forklift 2.0
3D measurement in motion. Precise. Fast.
The APACHE flying forklift is the most innovative system in the APACHE family for automated freight measurement directly while the forklift truck is in motion. Three laser scanning heads based on 3D laser measurement and a camera record volume, weight and image data - automatically, contact-free and precisely. Intelligent object recognition automatically hides the industrial truck so that only the freight is recorded and documented in a legally compliant manner.
Freight allocation is automated via barcode, RFID or direct system connection. The recorded master data including high-resolution 3D point cloud, image material and dimensional data are automatically transferred to your system.
The APACHE flying forklift offers automatic volume recording, weight analysis and 3D recording of your freight in transit - without stopping. Thanks to intelligent forklift recognition and a high-resolution 3D point cloud, you receive exact, legally compliant master data without any loss of time. Maximum precision. Minimal interruption.
AKL-tec systems record real-time data where it is generated.

Main features
- Drive-through measurement without loss of time
A non-contact measuring system automatically measures the freight as the forklift truck passes through (with the 2.0 at a movement speed of approx. 6 km/h) - without the need to stop or intervene manually. This saves time, reduces downtime and enables seamless integration into modern Industry 4.0 processes. Master data acquisition becomes an automated routine.
- Intelligent forklift recognition
The system automatically recognizes the industrial truck and hides it during measurement. Only the relevant freight dimensions are recorded - error-free, tamper-proof and with maximum object recognition accuracy. This ensures reliable data quality and avoids allocation errors.
- Point cloud technology for maximum accuracy
Precise 3D recording is carried out using a high-resolution point cloud. Supported by optical measurement technology, machine learning and industrial image processing, the system also recognizes complex object shapes. The result: precise dimensional data that helps to optimize packaging, storage and transport.
- Automated data transfer in real time
All recorded information - dimensions, weight, volume and image - is automatically transferred to your ERP, WMS or TMS systems via defined interfaces. This automated freight measurement creates a continuous, digital process chain without media discontinuity - from goods receipt to invoicing.
- Early amortization through freight detection
The system reliably detects incorrectly declared or under-declared freight - and corrects it automatically. As a result, you avoid shipping errors and cost traps, increase shipping accuracy and benefit from rapid amortization. The investment pays for itself quickly, especially in environments with high throughput.
- Legal relevance
The system is type-tested and fulfills the requirements for legally relevant use in accordance with the EU's Measurement Directive (LFT). The precise freight measurement can therefore be used for exact invoicing.
