Process Overview
This case study demonstrates an inline logistics solution that utilizes the Yujin Robot GoCart180 and an upper conveyor module to automatically transport plastic injection products from the injection molding machine to the shipping facility.
By developing a conveyor module tailored to the customer's production line, we automated product loading and unloading, achieving complete automation throughout the entire inline transport process without operator intervention.
Warranty Period
- 1 Year
Performance Year
- 2023
Project Duration
- Need for consultation
Project Background and Objectives
- Injection molding manufacturing in-line labor shortage
- Factory operations are disrupted due to difficulties securing workers
- Workers avoid work due to the risk of musculoskeletal disorders and industrial accidents
Components
| Robot | Two Yujin Robot GoCart180 ; Payload: 180kg ; ISO 13482 PLd safety standard certified ; Operating speed: up to 1.0m/s |
|---|---|
| Peripherals | Upper electric conveyor module ; Order picking cart ; Middleware |
Workflow
| STEP 1. | After the injection molding machine injects the food container, it is discharged onto the conveyor |
|---|---|
| STEP 2. | When the injection product reaches a certain amount, the AMR is automatically called |
| STEP 3. | The injection product is automatically loaded from the injection molding machine conveyor to the upper conveyor of the AMR |
| STEP 4. | The AMR moves the injection product to the shipping space |
| STEP 5. | The injection product is automatically unloaded from the AMR conveyor to the shipping conveyor |
| STEP 6. | The worker packages and ships the product. |

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.
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.
Order Picking System in a Logistics Warehouse using AMR
This application is an order picking system that optimizes the operation of 10 Eugene Gocart 180 vehicles using the Marosol remote control system, SOLlink. By cluster-controlling multiple AMR using the in-house developed SOLlink, the efficiency of the Logistics system has been maximized. Furthermore, through the order picking system integrated with WMS, it is possible to flexibly respond to peak cargo volume periods without hiring additional workers.
