Customer Case | Empowering Manufacturing Plants

In modern manufacturing, automation and intelligence have become key means to improve production efficiency and reduce costs.  As an important component of the manufacturing industry, the automation level of the packaging and canning industry directly affects the smooth operation of production lines.  Especially in the canning and packaging process of liquid gallium metal, manual errors and labor costs are often the main challenges faced by enterprises.  Therefore, increasing the degree of automation and reducing manual operations have become inevitable choices.

Customer difficulties

1. High precision requirement: During the bottle grabbing and placement process, it is necessary to ensure that the error is less than ± 1mm to avoid product damage and packaging quality issues.

2. High labor costs: A large number of manual operations not only increase costs, but also lead to unstable production efficiency.

3. Safety issues: There is a mix of personnel and equipment in the production workshop, and traditional handling methods pose safety hazards.

4. Difficulty in equipment docking: It is necessary to achieve seamless docking between robots and refrigerators, production lines, and other equipment to improve the level of automation.

Solution

We propose a fully automated solution based on composite robots to address the challenges faced by our customers, which includes the following aspects:

1. Canned product transportation: The composite robot AMR automatically confirms the cutting situation of the production line and automatically transports the canned products to the freezer for cooling.

2. Cooling product transportation: According to production instructions, the composite robot AMR retrieves the cooled products from the freezer and transports them to the labeling line for subsequent packaging and packing operations.

3. Solution to height difference problem: The transportation in the workshop is carried out through the assembly line, and the height difference problem is solved through the production line lifting mechanism.

4. Visual positioning: The composite robot is equipped with electric grippers and 2D cameras for visual positioning, ensuring high-precision grasping and placement.

5. Safe obstacle avoidance: The composite robot automatically gives way when encountering vehicles and stops when encountering pedestrians or obstacles, ensuring the safety of the workshop.

Technical advantages

1. High precision gripping: The AMR composite robot achieves gripping and placement errors of less than ± 1mm in the packaging workshop, ensuring high-precision operation.

2. Intelligent obstacle avoidance: The composite robot has intelligent obstacle avoidance function, which automatically gives way when encountering vehicles and stops when encountering pedestrians or obstacles, ensuring safety.

3. Equipment docking: The composite robot can seamlessly dock with the freezer and production line equipment, control the automatic opening and closing of the freezer compartment door, and improve work efficiency.

4. High success rate: The comprehensive placement success rate of composite robots exceeds 99%, significantly improving the automation level and production efficiency of the production line.
