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

AI Palletizing using Hyundai YS140 and Mech-Mind

This automation solution utilizes Mech-Mind 3D Vision and the Hyundai YS140 industrial robot to automatically sort and stack boxes onto pallets by size, as well as transfer them to conveyors. By employing two sets of highly cost-effective 3D vision sensors, the system can stably perform both palletizing and depalletizing tasks even when various product boxes are mixed together (Mixed-Case Palletizing). The project was implemented to improve worker health and safety by automating tasks known to cause musculoskeletal disorders.

500kg Heavy-Duty Lift AGV: Automated Logistics Solution

This logistics automation solution utilizes Sammi AGV's 500kg heavy-duty lift-type AGV to transport high-payload materials. Based on highly reliable drive unit design expertise, Sammi AGVs ensure stable driving performance and excellent traction. The system is designed for ease of use, featuring Excel-based programming that allows users to control and modify paths effortlessly. Furthermore, its low-voltage, high-efficiency design minimizes downtime associated with battery charging and replacement, enabling extended operation hours.

Computer Parts Transport using PuduBot, a Compact Autonomous Delivery Robot

This logistics automation solution utilizes a compact AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robot) to perform indoor material transport tasks. Based on multi-sensor fusion including Lidar, Camera, RGBD, IMU, and Encoders, the robot can move freely within designated areas. It supports both a "Delivery Mode" for transporting items to specific locations and a "Cruise Mode" for moving repeatedly along a pre-set path. By facilitating the movement of goods within the workplace, this solution reduces worker fatigue caused by repetitive manual labor and increases overall operational efficiency. It can also safely transport chemical, fresh, or medical supplies, as well as hazardous materials, within the facility. IMU: A sensor-based device that measures the velocity, orientation, gravity, and acceleration of a moving object. Encoder: A transducer in digital electronic circuits that converts signals from one code sequence to another.
