New chapter of intelligent upgrade: AGV lifting robot leads efficient transformation in the era of Industry 4.0

In the era of pursuing Industry 4.0 intelligent manufacturing, a manufacturer has decided to transform manual handling in its production process into an intelligent solution.  The core goal of this decision is to achieve comprehensive improvement in production efficiency through logistics intelligence.  The traditional manual handling method not only consumes a large amount of human resources, but also leads to chaotic on-site operation processes and low work efficiency due to high pace, high workload, and long distance of finished product handling.

Intelligent handling solution

To address these challenges, the manufacturer has adopted an advanced AGV lifting robot.  This robot has a load capacity of 1000kg, a navigation accuracy of ± 5 millimeters, a running speed of about 1.5 meters per second, a lifting height of 60 ± 2 millimeters, and can work continuously for 7.5 hours under full load.  Through laser SLAM navigation technology, the robot achieves 360 degree all-round safety protection and provides two operating modes: automatic and manual.

Advantages of the plan

1. Intelligent scheduling and charging management:

The AGV system is equipped with an FMS scheduling system that can detect the power status of AMR in real time.  When the battery level drops below the preset level, the system will automatically issue an alarm or activate the charging function to ensure the continuous operation of the device.

2. Efficient transportation flow optimization:

With the help of AMR vehicle management, traffic status monitoring, and transportation task instructions, the system can achieve efficient transportation flow optimization.  By rational allocation of AMR vehicles, traffic control, and coordinated avoidance, the smooth and efficient logistics transportation process is ensured.

3. Automated cargo handling:

This robot can automatically perform cargo handling, orderly placement, and inbound/outbound operations based on pre-set warehouse planning.  The seamless integration with the three-dimensional warehouse management system makes the entire inbound and outbound pro

4. Rich system interfaces:

The system is designed with multiple interfaces that can be integrated with different material management systems and warehouse management systems, such as MES, IWMS, etc.  It can also connect various on-site sensor signals, support automatic door opening and closing, and elevator access signals, further enhancing the flexibility and compatibility of the system.

5. Unified control and management:

All AGV and AMR equipment are centrally scheduled and managed by the "Fuwei Integrated Controller", achieving efficient collaboration and unified management of the equipment, ensuring the stability and efficiency of system operation.

6. Multiple security protections:

The system has multiple safety protection measures such as linear deceleration parking, automatic station parking, emergency parking (emergency stop button), laser collision avoidance (primary protection), and emergency braking (secondary protection) to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment in complex working environments.

By introducing AGV lifting robots, the manufacturer has not only successfully transitioned from manual handling to intelligent handling, but also significantly improved logistics operation efficiency and safety.  This plan demonstrates the enormous potential of intelligent manufacturing in the Industry 4.0 era and provides valuable reference experience for the intelligent upgrading of other enterprises.
