Process Overview

This solution is a packaging process that uses the Hyundai Robotics YS080L to palletize pharmaceutical cartons onto pallets and perform wrapping (stretch wrapping). As an optimized turnkey packaging solution delivered by KT, it can be deployed with a low initial implementation cost, and by integrating with KT’s smart-factory platform Factory Makers, you can introduce a smart-factory system alongside the automation cell.

Through this solution, automated palletizing of heavy beverage cartons improved handling speed/throughput and helped prevent operator musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).

Features

Stable handling and palletizing

Ensures stable stacking through tight (close) loading and layer-by-layer cross-stacking patterns.

Improves productivity and working conditions at the same time

Minimizes idle time and helps prevent operator musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).

Compact footprint and fast deployment

Packaged as a turnkey solution covering the work method and production data, enabling rapid installation and ramp-up.

Efficient operation powered by KT smart-factory solution

Robot status/event monitoring and SMS alert notifications.
Operational data integration and production output tracking for efficient management.
Accessible via smartphones and tablets.

Results

Key Benefits	Increased productivity by enabling continuous operation with no idle/non-value-added work. Prevented operator musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) by eliminating heavy-load material handling tasks
Client Feedback	Heavy-load handling was difficult for operators to perform continuously and was often avoided, but robot automation removed the high-burden task, significantly reduced cycle time, and greatly improved productivity.

PICKSYS Pick-and-Place Solution Using 3D Vision and Doosan Collaborative Robots (Cobots)

Process Overview This deployment is a pick-and-place automation solution for handling steel plates on a press line, using PICKSYS 3D vision and Doosan collaborative robots(Cobots). By combining 3D vision with cobots, the system can handle unstandardized (non-uniform) steel plates safely and efficiently. It automates tasks that operators typically avoid, improving overall operating efficiency and helping increase job satisfaction on the floor. Warranty Period : 1 year Project Year : 2023 Project Duration : 8 weeks Solution design & fabrication: 4 weeks On-site installation: 2 weeks Stabilization: 2 weeks Project Background and Objectives Automate undesirable tasks to help prevent operator turnover. Replace high-payload, repetitive work with robots to help prevent musculoskeletal injuries and workplace incidents. Maximize efficiency in repetitive loading/unloading work using a vision system.

Successfully automated the Samlak heat treatment loading process!🙌 We even built a perfect jig design. (ft. Hyundai Robotics Industrial Robot)

This project involved the introduction of automated loading/unloading to ensure uniform heat treatment of the carrier mid-planet, a key component of automotive transmissions.
