Process Overview
This case study demonstrates the automation of heavy-duty product transport using Omron AMR logistics robots.
The client implemented a logistics automation system to reduce inefficiencies and labor burdens associated with repetitive, heavy logistics tasks. Specifically, they sought to reduce costs and maximize logistics efficiency through automated palletizing and return operations.
This solution automates simple, repetitive tasks like product movement and loading, thereby increasing the efficiency and accuracy of the shipping process and reducing worker burden, thereby enhancing safety and productivity.
Project Background and Objectives
The client recognized the need for automation in heavy cart transport and lead tab return operations and sought to improve logistics operational efficiency and reduce operating costs by introducing AMRs.
This project aimed to:
- Automating lead tab return and cart transport
- Improving worker productivity and ensuring safety
- Enhancing efficiency and flexibility in the logistics field
Components
| Robot | Omron AMR logistics robot LD-90: Moves autonomously while avoiding obstacles, equipped with a two-row conveyor, and loads and returns up to 6 lead tab trays. ; Omron AMR logistics robot LD-250: Equipped with a lift, transports up to 64 lead tab trays by combining with a cart, and moves autonomously to the destination after automatically recognizing the cart. |
|---|---|
| Peripherals | Robot upper module: Customization for tasks is possible, and productivity is increased by automatically processing repetitive tasks. ; Robot station: Loads the cart to be transported by the robot to support stable logistics return. ; Composite inspection machine: Inspects the trays returned by the robot, and automatically detects defective products. ; Buffer conveyor: Loads the trays after inspection, and provides a buffer to help workers load the cart. ; Tray cart: Up to 64 trays can be loaded, and is transported by LD-250. |
Workflow
| STEP 1. | Calling the operator: Click the button → Receive command to move LD-90 → Autonomous driving to the designated location |
|---|---|
| STEP 2. | Tray loading: Manually load trays onto the LD-90 conveyor → Return to the composite inspection machine |
| STEP 3. | Inspection task: Inspector docking → Tray inspection → Buffer conveyor loading after inspection |
| STEP 4. | Cart loading: The worker manually loads the tray onto the cart. |
| STEP 5. | Cart transport: Call LD-250 → Cart automatically recognized and transported |
| STEP 6. | End of work: The robot automatically returns to the waiting area after work. |

Recommended Use Cases
Indoor Logistics Transport using VisionNav VNP15
Indoor Logistics Transport using VisionNav VNP15 This application case is an automated loading and unloading solution that utilizes VisionNav's VNP15 to automate the process of transporting and stacking packed products. Based on strict safety features, it minimizes changes to existing processes, enables unmanned loading/unloading tasks, and allows for effective monitoring and control of the work status.
Outdoor Logistics Transport using VisionNav VNPA15 & VNQ40
This application case features an automated logistics solution that uses VisionNav's VNQ40 autonomous towing tractor to transport loaded products between factory buildings. Powered by advanced autonomous driving technology, this system performs inter-plant transfers with strict safety protocols, enabling real-time detection and avoidance of external obstacles or automatic emergency stops to ensure a secure operating environment.
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.
