Process Overview
This deployment is the first domestic solution that automates modular housing window-frame assembly by combining KUKA industrial robots, a custom-designed robot gripper, and High Payload Track Motion. SPACE FACTORY introduced this window-frame assembly automation system to reduce construction costs and to produce modular housing with consistent quality.
Project Background and Objectives
In the existing operation, skilled technicians assembled sash frames manually, which required long working time, and significant manpower was needed to respond to diverse customer requirements. In addition, due to the wide work environment and the complex robot operating environment, real-time monitoring was difficult, creating limitations in process management.
The objective of this project is to dramatically reduce working time by automating the window-frame assembly process, build a standardized production system to ensure consistent quality, and maximize process management efficiency through a real-time production monitoring system.
Components
| Robot | KUKA KR 210 R3100 industrial robot: With a maximum payload of 210 kg and a reach of 3,065 mm, this robot is optimized for high-payload handling and high-precision motion. Custom-designed robot gripper and High Payload Track Motion: These enable a range of operations including wooden material alignment and transfer, upper/lower window-frame assembly, and frame transfer. |
|---|---|
| Peripherals | SOLlink Industrial system: Supports real-time monitoring of robot status and production operations, helping quickly identify and respond to process bottlenecks and delay points. |
Workflow
| STEP 1. | Using the custom-designed robot gripper, wooden materials are accurately aligned and transferred |
|---|---|
| STEP 2. | In accordance with the modular production system, the upper and lower sections of the window frame are automatically assembled |
| STEP 3. | After assembly, the robot transfers the completed wooden frame safely and accurately. |

Process Overview Hankook & Company's palletizing solution prioritizes higher output and reduced labor requirements. After removing the existing line that was built around a single palletizer, the operation was split into two lines and reconfigured with two palletizers to secure production capacity (CAPA). In addition, manual placement of styrofoam and slip sheets was automated to reduce operator interventionβenabling one operator to manage both lines. Project Background and Objectives Background The previous workflow had an imbalance between line production capacity (CAPA) and palletizing capacity (CAPA), requiring operators to manually support styrofoam and slip-sheet placement to maintain output. This structure forced continuous loading of slip sheets (approx. 7 kg each), causing significant operator fatigue. Also, the line had to wait until manual slip-sheet loading was completed, leading to large fluctuations in the logistics cycle time. Key issues Palletizing quality instability and speed loss caused by manual operations Reduced productivity, increased operator fatigue, and skilled-labor dependency issues Objectives Improve production efficiency by minimizing repetitive manual tasks through upgraded robot automation Ensure quality consistency by reducing manual intervention Improve the work environment by reducing operator fatigue and strengthening safety
AMR logistics robots introduced to manufacturing factory β¨ Logistics automation that quickly resolves even 1 ton of waste drbris (2 KUKA KMP 1500P logistics robots)
Process Overview This case study demonstrates the installation of a KUKA KMP 1500P logistics robot at Bigwave Robotics (Marosol) to transport rollers and scrap debris within the space manufacturing facility. The KMP 1500P autonomously handles up to 1 ton of scrap debris over a 1.2 km distance and automatically transports heavy-duty roller modules weighing up to 1 ton. Furthermore, sensors embedded in the KMP 1500P enabled the development of an unmanned system capable of safely transporting heavy-duty materials. Project Background and Purpose Automated unmanned transport using autonomous robots Robots perform simple, repetitive tasks Safe operation of heavy-duty products using various sensors Remote control and monitoring using SOLlink
