Atlanta, GA – VisionNav Roboticsa global supplier of autonomous industrial vehicles and logistics automation solutions, will showcase a range of advanced autonomous material handling equipment and intelligent warehouse technologies at Automate 2026, June 22-25 in Chicago. At Booth #1841, attendees will have the opportunity to see the company’s VNE40-66 Autonomous Precision Stacking Solution, VNE20-07 Autonomous Counterbalance Truck, and BrightEye Vision Platform, each designed to help manufacturers and warehouse operators improve efficiency, safety, and operational visibility across increasingly complex logistics environments.

Market’s Most Robust Autonomous Precision Stacking Solution

Introduced earlier this year, VisionNav’s VNE40-66 Autonomous Precision Stacking Solution can stack 8.8-foot-wide cages weighing up to 6,150 pounds at heights of up to 22 feet – the market’s first such solution to achieve such robust capabilities. To achieve this level of performance with total stability and accuracy, the unit utilizes VisionNav's proprietary sensor fusion technology that provides millimeter-level precision compatible with various post types, ensuring each placement is exact despite differing container sizes or environmental conditions. Reliable and robust, the system carries a rated payload of 6,150 pounds, making it suitable for the exceptionally heavy, wide containers common in automotive and other heavy-duty settings. 

Among the VNE40-66’s most attractive features is its Smart Retry Functionality, which continuously monitors for misalignments and anomalies in real time; if misaligned containers, incorrect position posts or other adverse issues are identified, the system aborts and retries without requiring operator input. This dramatically reduces downtime, minimizes risk of product damage, and supports fully autonomous operation in high-throughput environments where human intervention would create untenable bottlenecks. 

Autonomous Counterbalance Truck to Demonstrate Mixed Load Trailer Loading and Unloading

VisionNav will showcase its VNE20-07 Autonomous Counterbalance Truck performing mixed load trailer loading and unloading with different-sized carriers. Designed for dynamic warehouse and manufacturing environments, the VNE20-07 demonstrates how autonomous forklifts can efficiently handle varying load types and dimensions while maintaining smooth material flow between trailers and facility operations.

The live demonstration highlights the system's ability to identify, transport, and position diverse carriers with precision, supporting automated trailer operations that improve throughput and reduce manual handling requirements. By accommodating mixed loads within a single workflow, the VNE20-07 provides greater flexibility for facilities managing a variety of products, containers, and material handling processes.

Capable of loading a trailer in under one hour on average, the VNE20-07 helps facilities increase dock productivity while maintaining consistent operational performance. Combining intelligent navigation, accurate load positioning, and reliable autonomous operation, the VNE20-07 showcases the next generation of automated loading and unloading capabilities.

Intelligent Vision Platform for Smarter Autonomous Operations

Also on display will be VisionNav’s BrightEye Vision Platform, an intelligent warehouse visibility system designed to recognize and monitor the real-time status of inventory placement, products, people and equipment throughout warehouse environments. Utilizing extensive data and intelligent algorithms, the platform helps improve logistics visibility, operational awareness, and coordination across industrial facilities. 

The BrightEye platform includes HawkEye and SwanEye systems tailored for different warehouse environments. HawkEye is designed for high-top flat warehouses and can simultaneously monitor the real-time status of all racks, while SwanEye is intended for lower-top flat warehouses and focuses on monitoring racks closest to the camera. The platform supports applications including ground-to-ground transportation, line-side material flow visibility, and human-robot interaction monitoring, along with capabilities such as rack monitoring, safety monitoring, visual sorting, and visual inventory management.
