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
Metal Machining Machine Tending for Three WIA MCTs using Yaskawa Robots
This machine tending automation solution utilizes a YASKAWA industrial robot to automate the loading and unloading of metal workpieces for three WIA MCT (F410D) units. In the traditional process, operators had to stand by the machines constantly to manually feed workpieces. By delegating the loading and unloading tasks to the robot, operators can now focus on overall equipment management and system operation, significantly increasing operational efficiency. Furthermore, by having a single robot service three machining centers, productivity is maximized across the entire production cell.
Smartphone Sorting & Stacking using UR5 and Linear Track
This automated sorting and storage solution utilizes a Universal Robots UR5 collaborative robot mounted on a Linear Track (7th axis) to perform high-precision handling of smartphones. By integrating 2D Vision, the system identifies the type and position of items arriving via conveyor. The 6-axis articulated robot then uses an electric gripper to sort and stack these items into specific locations. Conversely, when a retrieval command is received, the robot can pick the required items from the storage rack and move them to the discharge position. The linear track allows the robot to cover a significantly wider workspace, making it ideal for comprehensive inbound/outbound inventory management.
Defect Inspection of Cutting Tools using Doosan Cobots and Keyence Equipment
This vision inspection solution utilizes the Doosan M0609 collaborative robot and the Keyence Image Dimension Measurement System (IM Series) to automate the dimensional inspection and defect sorting of cutting tools. Previously, operators had to manually measure each part and perform visual inspections, which often led to human error in sorting and required a high amount of labor for simple, repetitive tasks. By implementing robot automation, inspections are now performed continuously without idle time. This has increased the precision of defect detection, simultaneously improving both productivity and product quality.
