This logistics robot solution utilizes an autonomous lift-conveyor to perform material transport tasks between manufacturing processes.

By using vision technology to recognize workpiece information, the system can stack items in matching locations based on their category. Conversely, when a work command is received, it can retrieve necessary items from storage racks and move them to the discharge position. The integration of a linear track allows the robot to cover a wide operational area, enabling comprehensive inbound/outbound inventory management.

Components

Robot	Mobile Lift-Conveyor (Mobile C) Mobile Base: OMRON LD-90 Payload: 90kg Max Speed: 1.35m/s Stop Precision: ±10mm / ±0.5° (with HAPS option applied) Operation/Charging: 8 hours use / 4 hours charge (Automatic docking included) Lift-Conveyor (Customized): * Height-adjustable system with forward/reverse conveyor belt functionality.

Workflow

STEP 1.	Navigation: Moves to the part loading location.
STEP 2.	Loading: Communicates with the facility equipment and loads the part box onto the robot.
STEP 3.	Transport: Navigates to the subsequent process location.
STEP 4.	Unloading: Aligns with the conveyor at the next process and transfers the part box.
STEP 5.	Completion: Sends a "Task Complete" signal after finishing the unloading process.

Recommended Use Cases

Semiconductor Material Polishing using Doosan M1509

This machine tending solution utilizes the Doosan M1509 collaborative robot to automate the hazardous and physically demanding task of polishing the surfaces of heavy semiconductor materials. The project was initiated to improve operational efficiency by reassigning workers to higher-value tasks and to enhance customer trust through consistent schedule and quality management. Previously, manual polishing caused significant strain on workers' wrists and exposed them to high levels of dust, leading to high turnover and a lack of specialized expertise. This inconsistency in the workforce often resulted in fluctuating product quality. By implementing this automation, the robot performs the entire polishing cycle—including the mandatory replacement of one-time-use polishing pads—ensuring uniform quality while allowing operators to simply load raw materials and collect finished goods.

Unmanned Warehouse System using Geek+ P800

This application case features an unmanned warehouse system utilizing the Geek+ P800 picking robot. By distinguishing between long-term storage items and high-frequency goods, the system implements an intelligent warehouse management model that enhances customer accessibility and convenience. This solution maximizes space utilization by storing a high volume of goods within a compact footprint.
