[Process Overview]

This implementation case is an automated mixed-flow box classification and stacking solution that combines Hyundai Robotics' industrial robots, drive axes, and in-house designed robot grippers to apply an AI-based remote operation and control system for automotive parts (latching locking devices).


Daedong Door introduced this automation system to prevent worker safety accidents by improving simple repetitive tasks and abnormal working postures, and to enhance the efficiency of inventory organization and FIFO management through pallet-based standardization.


 [Project Background and Objective]

The existing palletizing and shipping processes have been operated as repetitive, heavy-duty tasks relying on a large workforce, resulting in structural limitations such as reduced productivity, worker safety issues, and increased labor costs. Furthermore, with the transition to a multi-product, small-batch production system and stricter delivery demands from clients, it was difficult to respond flexibly using the existing methods.


Accordingly, the main objective of this project has been set to secure both productivity and quality simultaneously through the establishment of robot-based standardized processes, rather than simply expanding facilities, and to achieve improved working environments and maximized operational efficiency.

Components

Robot

We automated the mixed-flow box Classification and palletizing processes by applying Hyundai Robotics' HS160L (Pay load: 160kg, Reach: 3,036mm) and UA008 (Pay load: 8kg, Reach: 1,430mm) industrial robots. The system is designed to expand the working range by integrating with the drive axes and to accommodate a wide variety of products.

Peripherals

SOLlink Industrial: Monitors robot and equipment status in real time through the system and manages production flows in an integrated manner.

Omni-sensor: It detects the surrounding environment of the facility and improves system operational stability and usability by flexibly implementing industry-specific functions such as inter-floor connectivity, fire and fall detection, and remote control.

Workflow

STEP 1.[Product Transfer] Products are lowered from the upper-level logistics area via a vertical lifter and transferred to the barcode scanner robot via a conveyor
STEP 2.[Box Sorting] Once the product reaches the stopper, the robot scans the barcode and automatically assigns a palletizing zone. (Items with successful recognition move to the OK conveyor for palletizing, while recognition failures are diverted to the NG conveyor
STEP 3.[Box Alignment] Sorted boxes are aligned along the X and Y axes using an aligner at each work zone
STEP 4.[Box Pickup] Industrial robots move along a linear axis to pick up boxes based on barcode information (part number, box specifications, and quantity)
STEP 5.[Palletizing] The picked boxes are automatically stacked onto designated pallet stages (10 stages in total)
STEP 6.[Pallet Discharge] Once a pallet is loaded with the preset quantity, an operator removes it using a manual cart
STEP 7.[Pallet Replenishment] Empty pallet stages are replenished with new pallets stored in the pallet magazine
