Curious about the robots deployed?
Features
Key Features
Flexible handling across multiple carton sizes: Alignment and strap cutting can be performed regardless of carton size, supporting up to 27 carton size variants.
Flexible inbound conditions: Even if the number of strapped cartons on the pallet varies by load, the operator can simply enter the required conditions on the HMI (OP panel), and the robot can execute depalletizing accordingly.
Deployment Benefits
Higher productivity: Depalletizing and strap cutting are automated, increasing operation speed and reducing operator fatigue.
Lower operating cost: Process automation enables labor reduction and more efficient operations.
Improved safety: Safety light curtains, safety mats, and laser scanners help minimize accident and hazard risks during operation.
Results
| Key Benefits | This depalletizing and strap-cutting automation solution deployed at Yuhan-Kimberly’s Chungju Plant delivered meaningful improvements across productivity, safety, and workforce utilization. Previously, the process required 2–3 operators to manually break down palletized cartons and remove strapping after automation, the cell could be operated with a single operator primarily monitoring the system, resulting in a labor reduction effect of over 50%. |
|---|---|
| Client Feedback | The customer commented, “By deploying the depalletizing robot, not only was the operator’s physical workload reduced, but logistics efficiency also improved significantly. With the safety system well implemented, operators feel more secure and can stay focused on their work.” |

Recommended Use Cases
Smartphone Transfer using TechFloor Mobile Manipulator (M6X)
This transfer automation solution utilizes the TechFloor Mobile X, a high-performance Mobile Manipulator, to pick smartphones from shelving units, load them onto its onboard platform, and transport them to the next process stage. The TechFloor Mobile X can be deployed without extensive infrastructure changes and offers flexible adaptation to layout or workstation modifications. It ensures high productivity through rapid transit and high-precision docking, minimizing common mobile robot issues such as alignment errors. By applying this solution to environments with frequent inter-process part transfers, continuous operation is achieved regardless of shifts, significantly boosting productivity without additional labor costs.
TIG Welding using the Rainbow Robotics RB3
This welding automation solution utilizes the Rainbow Robotics RB-3 collaborative robot combined with a TIG welder to weld the bended sections of metal plates. It is characterized by fast teaching capabilities and high space efficiency. In manual welding, quality varies significantly based on the operator's skill level. Additionally, due to the harsh working conditions, securing skilled welders is becoming increasingly difficult. With this solution, even unskilled workers can manage the loading and unloading of workpieces, while the robot handles the critical welding tasks. This ensures consistent, high-quality production regardless of human fatigue or skill level.
Press Machine Tending for Thin Plate Sheets using Yaskawa Robots
This automation solution utilizes YASKAWA robots equipped with vacuum grippers to handle thin plates, automating the workpiece feeding process and significantly enhancing the safety of press operations. Due to the nature of press processes—characterized by extremely short cycle times and high-risk environments—industrial accidents involving human operators are frequent. By employing robot automation, particularly with vacuum grippers which are far more effective at handling thin plates than manual labor, this solution simultaneously improves production throughput and workplace safety.
