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.

Recommended Use Cases

Non-Stop Product Sorting Automation using Robostar RA007 and Deep Learning

This solution utilizes 3D vision, deep learning algorithms (Instance Segmentation), reinforcement learning, and motion planning (OMPL) algorithms to automate tasks such as product sorting, assembly, and packing. By using cost-effective 3D vision to recognize product types, product locations, and box positions in real-time, the system can automatically compensate for and continue operations even if the positions of products or boxes change. Furthermore, with two vision sensors and high-speed processing, it can significantly reduce cycle times—the most critical factor in logistics sites. Since the system compensates through learning even if the conditions change due to misalignment of the vision, robot, or work jigs, it ensures easy operation and maintenance while minimizing downtime.

Outdoor Logistics Transport using VisionNav VNPA15 & VNQ40

This application case features an automated logistics solution that uses VisionNav's VNQ40 autonomous towing tractor to transport loaded products between factory buildings. Powered by advanced autonomous driving technology, this system performs inter-plant transfers with strict safety protocols, enabling real-time detection and avoidance of external obstacles or automatic emergency stops to ensure a secure operating environment.

Order Picking System in a Logistics Warehouse using AMR

This application is an order picking system that optimizes the operation of 10 Eugene Gocart 180 vehicles using the Marosol remote control system, SOLlink. By cluster-controlling multiple AMR using the in-house developed SOLlink, the efficiency of the Logistics system has been maximized. Furthermore, through the order picking system integrated with WMS, it is possible to flexibly respond to peak cargo volume periods without hiring additional workers.
