Process Overview

This case study demonstrates an order picking system that optimizes the operation of ten Eugene Gocart 180s using Marosol's remote control system, SOLlink.
With the self-developed SOLlink, multiple AMRs are clustered and controlled to maximize logistics system efficiency. The order picking system, integrated with WMS, allows for flexible handling during peak periods without the need for additional workers.

Project Background and Objectives

Improved workforce supply and employment stability through the introduction of logistics robots
Introducing robots for high-intensity, repetitive tasks reduces the risk of musculoskeletal disorders and industrial accidents among workers
Integrating WMS and order picking systems increases work efficiency and reduces error rates

Components

Robot	Yujin Robot GoCart180 *10
Peripherals	Integrated multi-robot system SOLlink Upper module Order picking cart Middleware

Workflow

STEP 1.	A worker positions himself between the racks in the warehouse
STEP 2.	AMR loads the cart
STEP 3.	AMR passes the rack and stops at a designated location
STEP 4.	The worker loads items onto the cart
STEP 5.	When the cart is full, the AMR unloads the cart at a designated location.

Features

Connect to the entire conveyor line for high-capacity processing.
The intuitive UX/UI of the OP panel allows for flexible support of various pallet/bag sizes.
Using a product sorting device, a vision-free, low-cost solution is implemented.

Results

Key Benefits	More than doubling the maximum daily order picking capacity per worker, expanding the use of robots in logistics warehouses, and reducing worker musculoskeletal disorders and turnover rates.
Client Feedback	The introduction of robots reduced workloads, leading to increased employee retention and a more flexible response to sudden increases in cargo volume. Notably, lower body fatigue was significantly reduced by eliminating the need to carry picked items. The logistics robot system, integrated with the upper-level WMS system, reduced human error and boosted customer satisfaction.

Indoor Logistics Transport and Loading Using VisionNav VNPA15🏗️

Process Overview This case study showcases a logistics automation solution that uses VisionNav's VNPA15 autonomous mobile robot (AMR) to automate the transport and loading/stacking of packaged products in indoor material-handling operations. Built on robust safety functions, the solution minimizes changes to existing workflows while enabling unattended load/unload tasks, and provides effective monitoring and control of real-time operations.

Full automation of injection molding line logistics with AMR logistics robots

Process Overview This case study demonstrates an inline logistics solution that utilizes the Yujin Robot GoCart180 and an upper conveyor module to automatically transport plastic injection products from the injection molding machine to the shipping facility. By developing a conveyor module tailored to the customer's production line, we automated product loading and unloading, achieving complete automation throughout the entire inline transport process without operator intervention.

Automating Automotive Battery Palletizing: Safely Stack Batteries Weighing Over 60kg with the Yaskawa GP225 💪

This solution is an example of automating the repalletizing process for the export of Atlas batteries produced by Korea & Company. Due to the diverse import pallet specifications by country, palletizing patterns specified by client, and product varieties, the total number of possible scenarios exceeds 200. The goal is to ensure line stability by standardizing these variables and handling volumes of 10/min for medium-sized pallets and 6/min for large-sized pallets. [Pallet Feeder & Pallet Conveyor] It allows for the common use of more than five types of pallets per country, ensures a smooth Logistics cycle for 10 stacks, transfers disstacking pallets to the battery palletizing position while simultaneously aligning them, and transfers completed pallets to the discharge position. [Battery Aligner] Automatically aligns batteries fed in-line into 1st, 2nd (series/parallel), and 3rd layers according to the set palletizing pattern, then discharges them via a robot and repeats the operation of initialization. [Robot Palletizer] Repeats pick-and-place operations on aligned batteries at palletizing positions on the conveyor side according to designated locations and layers, and automatically feeds honeycomb to each layer according to settings. [Honeycomb Feeder & Aligner] Automatically aligns and feeds honeycomb to each layer of NO-BOX specification batteries.
