Recommended Use Cases

Indoor Logistics Transport and Loading Using VisionNav VNPA15🏗️

Process Overview This case study showcases a logistics automation solution that uses VisionNav's VNPA15 autonomous mobile robot (AMR) to automate the transport and loading/stacking of packaged products in indoor material-handling operations. Built on robust safety functions, the solution minimizes changes to existing workflows while enabling unattended load/unload tasks, and provides effective monitoring and control of real-time operations.

Achieve Tech Large Packaging Film (Vinyl) Automatic Cutting System

This application case features an automatic cutting system for packaging film or vinyl used for wrapping construction-related products or large-scale goods prior to transport. In the conventional cutting process, workers manually mounted large packaging vinyl rolls onto stands and cut them to the required length using scissors. This method posed risks of injury due to repetitive mounting tasks at high elevations and led to potential raw material waste from inaccurate cutting. Additionally, a lack of storage space for the vinyl rolls caused significant inconvenience during continuous operations. To solve these issues, the system was automated to ensure easy mounting and sufficient storage space. It is designed to cut precisely to the length entered via a touch panel and includes features for storing and retrieving operational data.

PICKSYS Pick-and-Place Solution using 3D Vision and Doosan Collaborative Robots (Cobots)

Process Overview This deployment is a pick-and-place automation solution for handling steel plates on a press line, using PICKSYS 3D vision and Doosan collaborative robots(Cobots). By combining 3D vision with cobots, the system can handle unstandardized (non-uniform) steel plates safely and efficiently. It automates tasks that operators typically avoid, improving overall operating efficiency and helping increase job satisfaction on the floor. Warranty Period : 1 year Project Year : 2023 Project Duration : 8 weeks Solution design & fabrication: 4 weeks On-site installation: 2 weeks Stabilization: 2 weeks Project Background and Objectives Automate undesirable tasks to help prevent operator turnover. Replace high-payload, repetitive work with robots to help prevent musculoskeletal injuries and workplace incidents. Maximize efficiency in repetitive loading/unloading work using a vision system.
