LG CNS Smart Gantry System

Industry > LogisticsApplication > LogisticsSector > Logistics

This application case features the implementation of LG CNS's Dual-Picking Smart Gantry System.

The Smart Gantry System is the world's first solution to apply a high-speed dual-fork method, enabling multi-sorting transport and stacking. Compared to single-type gantries, it maximizes space utilization by eliminating picking blind spots. Equipped with an optimization algorithm, the two pickers can operate simultaneously or independently from both sides of the bridge, allowing for rapid picking and storage.

This system meets the evolving demands for high-performance automated equipment capable of "Storage + Picking + Process Integration," moving beyond traditional warehouse-style storage logistics. It offers superior flexibility and utility compared to other storage facilities.

Components

Robot	Robot: Smart Gantry System Speed: X-axis: 4m/s, Y-axis: 4m/s, Z-axis: 2.5m/s Processing Ability: 305 cycles/Hr Operating Temperature: -30°C to +40°C Picker: Dual Configuration Payload: 300kg per Picker Control: Real-time Servo Control, Absolute Position Control, Direct Drive

Workflow

STEP 1.	Products arriving at the logistics center are transported via the inbound conveyor.
STEP 2.	Products moving along the inbound conveyor are automatically stacked and stored.
STEP 3.	Stored products are automatically loaded onto the outbound conveyor according to shipping requests.
STEP 4.	Products on the outbound conveyor are dispatched from the logistics center to their final destinations.

Features

Maximizing productivity with the world's first dual-picker application

Rapid cargo handling with world-class specifications for speed and acceleration/deceleration.
Minimizes movement paths through simultaneous and adjacent picking based on dual-picker technology.
High operational reliability: Even if one picker fails, outbound instructions can still be executed using the remaining one.

Maximizing stacking efficiency and space utilization with a zero-blind-spot structure

Superior space utilization with no "dead space," allowing for stacking even in corner areas.
Flexible and intuitive positioning adjustment based on optimization algorithms.
Enhances worker convenience, safety, and efficiency through active picking for inbound/outbound flows.

Cost-effective and rapid gantry system

1.3x higher storage efficiency compared to mini-loads or shuttles by stacking directly on the floor without internal structures.
Easy to relocate, add, or expand since no structures are installed other than the main columns.
Reduces construction time by 80% and costs by 50% compared to traditional automated warehouses.
Superior outbound speed: Processing takes approximately 15 seconds after picking (compared to 40 seconds for mini-loads).
High-density stacking leads to excellent energy efficiency and easy maintenance.

Results

Key Benefits	Dual-picking method with zero blind spots. High storage efficiency and easy maintenance. Rapid installation and low construction costs. High-performance, flexible locally-developed (Korean) equipment.
Client Feedback	By introducing the Smart Gantry System and integrating it with inbound/outbound conveyors, we enabled sorting and stacking by store, vehicle, and item, achieving optimal logistics center automation.
