AMR Logistics Robots Introduced to Manufacturing Factory ✨ Logistics Automation that Quickly Resolves Even 1 Ton of Waste Derbris (2 KUKA KMP 1500P Logistics Robots)
Process Overview
This case study demonstrates the installation of a KUKA KMP 1500P logistics robot at Bigwave Robotics (Marosol) to transport rollers and scrap debris within the space manufacturing facility. The KMP 1500P autonomously handles up to 1 ton of scrap debris over a 1.2 km distance and automatically transports heavy-duty roller modules weighing up to 1 ton. Furthermore, sensors embedded in the KMP 1500P enabled the development of an unmanned system capable of safely transporting heavy-duty materials.
Project Background and Purpose
- Automated unmanned transport using autonomous robots
- Robots perform simple, repetitive tasks
- Safe operation of heavy-duty products using various sensors
- Remote control and monitoring using SOLlink
Components
| Robot | KUKA KMP 1500P *2 |
|---|---|
| Peripherals | 2 automatic robot charging stations; 1 manual robot charging station; 1 hardware PC for KUKA robot server; 1 license for KUKA robot server; 2 SOLlink tablet controllers; 1 SOLlink server; 5 robot transport carts; 10 cart stations |
Workflow
| STEP 1. | Loading of carts in the departure area (loading area) |
|---|---|
| STEP 2. | Work command via SOLlink (tablet) |
| STEP 3. | Loading carts in the departure area using a robot lift |
| STEP 4. | Transporting carts to the destination area |
| STEP 5. | Unloading carts using a robot lift |
| STEP 6. | Setting automatic charging during non-work hours |
| STEP 7. | Charging |
| STEP 8. | Waiting for work after recovering to the preset battery level |
| STEP 9. | When robots cross, give way to the robot with priority and then cross (priority granting criteria: order of work commands) |

Recommended Use Cases
Boston Dynamics Spot: The Autonomous Mobile Robot (Robot Dog)
This security and patrol automation solution utilizes Spot, the quadruped robot dog developed by Boston Dynamics. Spot is an agile, four-legged robot designed to be rugged and highly customizable. It is perfectly suited for unstructured environments, capable of climbing stairs and traversing rough, uneven terrain that traditional wheeled robots cannot access. By incorporating the Clearpath ROS Package for Spot, robotics researchers and developers can take full advantage of out-of-the-box ROS (Robot Operating System) functionality. This allows for accelerated development by leveraging widely available open-source libraries, tools, and the extensive global ROS community.
Beverage Pallet Unwrapping Solution using Three Hyundai HS220 Robots
This industrial robot solution utilizes three Hyundai HS220 robots to automate the hazardous task of manually removing stretch wrap and straps from beverage pallets. Previously, this process posed a significant risk of safety accidents because workers had to use manual cutters on pallets with high stacking heights. Although the complexity of the task made automation difficult in the past, Hyundai Robotics' specialized solution has made it possible. Additionally, the system neatly manages residual waste, minimizing the need for operator intervention and management.
Potenit Lift-type AMR for Home Appliance Part Rack Transfer
This logistics automation solution utilizes Potenit's Lift-type AMR to automatically transfer component racks for home appliances according to the manufacturing process sequence. Potenit's AMR solution can be deployed easily without additional infrastructure (such as magnetic tapes or floor markers) and responds flexibly to changes in factory layout or work positions. Through the proprietary MOS (Multi-Robot Operating System), operators can monitor real-time status and issue commands via mobile devices, tablets, or PCs. By automating material input and transfer across processes, idle time caused by preparation work has been reduced, leading to increased operational efficiency and productivity. This project was implemented as part of a Smart Factory advancement initiative to optimize worker movement, minimize production lead times, and increase overall production capacity to respond flexibly to shifting market demands.
