Process Overview

This palletizing automation solution uses the Hyundai Robotics HH050 and Mech-Mind 3D vision to detect mixed-size boxes, align them by size, and automatically stack them onto pallets. By leveraging a cost-effective 3D vision system, the cell can reliably palletize even when cartons of varying dimensions are mixed in the flow, ensuring stable operation.

Piece Picking using Yaskawa and Mech-Mind

This automation solution combines logistics and sorting automation by utilizing Mech-Mind 3D Vision and the Yaskawa GP8 robot to classify and transfer a diverse range of unstructured objects. By leveraging a highly cost-effective 3D vision system to recognize both the position and geometry of items, the robot can easily sort products even if their locations change or multiple types of objects are mixed together. This is the ideal solution for environments with diverse workpieces or for companies looking to automate manual tasks with minimal changes to their existing workspace. The project was implemented to automate order picking in fulfillment centers and eliminate the manual labor required for sorting individual packaged goods. Furthermore, it aims to achieve high-efficiency sorting for unstructured and mixed-SKU inventory. *Note: This content is based on a demo; actual deployment may require additional equipment based on specific customer requirements.

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.
