Process Overview

Korea & Company's palletizing solution prioritizes increased production volume and reduced workforce.

After removing the existing line consisting of only one palletizer, we secured production capacity by branching into two lines and configuring two palletizers. We also automated the styrofoam/plywood placement process, which was previously done manually, reducing the need for worker intervention so that one worker manages both lines.

 Project Background and Purpose

 Background:
The existing work method is structured such that the asymmetry between line production capacity and palletizing capacity requires workers to manually assist with the placement of styrofoam and plywood to meet production quotas. This results in extreme fatigue for workers due to the continuous input of 7kg of plywood, and the Logistics cycle experiences significant fluctuations because workers are forced to wait indefinitely until plywood is manually fed.

•  Major problems:

  •  Palletizing quality instability and speed degradation caused by the manual process

  •  Decline in productivity, increased worker fatigue, skilled worker issue

 Objective

•  Improvement in production efficiency: Minimizing repetitive tasks through the introduction of improved robotic automation

•  Ensuring quality consistency: Ensuring quality consistency by minimizing manual intervention

•  Improvement of working environment: Reduction of worker fatigue and enhancement of safety
