Part Transfer using Autonomous Lift-Conveyor

Industry > Semiconductor·DisplayApplication > LogisticsSector > Logistics

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.

Results

ROI Period	42 months
Key Benefits	Quantitative: Reduction of 1 full-time personnel from manual transport tasks. Qualitative: Improved job satisfaction and focus by eliminating repetitive manual transfer tasks for existing workers.
Client Feedback	"We initially thought AGV systems were complex and required significant infrastructure. However, this solution was installed without any physical facility changes and allows us to move work positions flexibly, which is very satisfying." "The easy integration with our existing equipment and the automatic charging feature allow for continuous nighttime operation, which has been a great help in increasing our overall productivity."
