PROJECT BACKGROUND
3,300㎡ storage space
Conveyor line operating capacity
Cache shelf operation capabilities
Picking accuracy
Project Pain Points
Cost Pressure: With global labor costs rising year by year, traditional labor-intensive work models lead to continuously increasing operating costs.
Efficiency Bottleneck: Existing logistics efficiency is insufficient to meet the high-frequency, tight production cycle requirements of the automotive manufacturing industry, affecting overall production efficiency.
Operational Safety Hazards: Manual handling and material delivery pose high safety risks, easily resulting in personal injury or material damage.
Management Deficiencies: Lack of effective work-in-process (WIP) inventory management and data traceability capabilities leads to low transparency in the production process and difficulty in optimization.
Solution
Deploy a shelving-to-person solution equipped with 18 robots to automate the picking and handling of production materials.
Work-in-Process Lifecycle Management: A self-developed inventory process management system enables precise inventory management of work-in-process and supports pull-based intelligent material requisition and handling based on production needs.
Multi-stage Unmanned Coverage: The solution covers finished product handling and buffering after injection molding; material handling and buffering before and after secondary processing; and picking and handling before outbound shipment, fully realizing unmanned and intelligent automation of production logistics.
Customer Value
Significantly Optimized Production Cycle Time: The robot system successfully connects four key production areas, increasing the average production cycle time to 60 seconds, significantly accelerating the production line’s response speed.
Double Logistics Efficiency: Material flow rate reaches 60 carts/hour, twice the efficiency of traditional AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles), greatly improving material turnover efficiency.
Just-in-time production and high accuracy: It achieves highly accurate just-in-time pull production, ensuring a clean and orderly site layout, and achieving 100% system management accuracy.
Excellent return on investment: The project’s return on investment (ROI) is less than or equal to 2 years, demonstrating the solution’s strong economic benefits and sustainable value.
