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.
High-Payload Logistics Success! Lead Tab Automatic Transfer with OMRON AMR
This implementation case demonstrates the automation of heavy product transportation using Omron AMR Logistics . The client introduced a Logistics automation system to reduce inefficiencies and labor burdens arising from repetitive and heavy Logistics tasks. In particular, they aimed to reduce costs and maximize Logistics efficiency through the automation of palletizing and return operations. By automating the simple, repetitive tasks of product movement and stacking, this solution increased the efficiency and accuracy of the outbound process, reduced the burden on workers, and enhanced safety and productivity.
Part Transfer using Autonomous Lift-Conveyor
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.
