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.

Peripherals	Tooling Vacuum gripper 3D Vision Mech-Eye Laser L (FOV: 1250 × 1460 @ 1.5 m; 2500 × 2890 @ 3 m, Resolution: 2048 × 1536 (3 MP), Accuracy: 1.0 mm @ 2 m, Scan time: 0.9–1.3 s, Recommended scanning distance: 1.5–3 m, Mech-Viz Intelligent Programming Environment: robot programming tool) Peripheral Equipment Robot base Vision mounting stand Box infeed stand Pallet fixing guide

Workflow

STEP 1.	Scan available pallet stacking space using 3D vision
STEP 2.	Pick each box and place it into the remaining pallet space based on its size
STEP 3.	Repeat until palletizing is complete

Recommended Use Cases

Reel Tape Packaging using AIM FlexiBowl and Epson SCARA Robots

This automation solution replaces manual reel tape packaging processes by integrating the AIM FlexiBowl (flexible parts feeder) with Epson SCARA robots. AIM helps people focus on higher-value tasks by perfectly solving the simple, repetitive labor often avoided in manufacturing environments. This system addresses labor shortages and boosts manufacturing competitiveness by providing a solution capable of tireless, precise, and infinite repetition through robotic technology.

AI Palletizing using Hyundai YS140 and Mech-Mind

This automation solution utilizes Mech-Mind 3D Vision and the Hyundai YS140 industrial robot to automatically sort and stack boxes onto pallets by size, as well as transfer them to conveyors. By employing two sets of highly cost-effective 3D vision sensors, the system can stably perform both palletizing and depalletizing tasks even when various product boxes are mixed together (Mixed-Case Palletizing). The project was implemented to improve worker health and safety by automating tasks known to cause musculoskeletal disorders.

Automation Success at UK Parts Supplier! 🦾 Field Reveal of an Automated Warehouse Powered by 40 AMRs 😎

Process Overview L&S Engineers, one of the UK's largest suppliers of spare parts and consumables, implemented HIK's logistics robot solution to enhance logistics efficiency in its large-scale warehouse. This project focused on automating the order picking process using mobile robots, increasing logistics precision, and reducing the physical burden on workers. Project Background & Objectives Background L&S Engineers operates a massive logistics center that handles thousands of spare parts and consumables, processing a high volume of orders daily. However, the existing manual methods faced several challenges: High worker fatigue due to long walking distances. Low operational efficiency and slow order processing speeds. Concerns over decreased customer satisfaction due to high error rates. Objectives Enhance Operational Efficiency: Reduce worker travel distances and improve productivity through mobile robots. Improve Accuracy: Decrease error rates in the order picking process. Reduce Operational Costs: Lower labor and operating expenses through automation.
