Process layout
This solution utilizes 3D vision, deep learning algorithms (Instance Segmentation), reinforcement learning, and motion planning (OMPL) algorithms to automate tasks such as product sorting, assembly, and packing.
By using cost-effective 3D vision to recognize product types, product locations, and box positions in real-time, the system can automatically compensate for and continue operations even if the positions of products or boxes change.
Furthermore, with two vision sensors and high-speed processing, it can significantly reduce cycle times—the most critical factor in logistics sites.
Since the system compensates through learning even if the conditions change due to misalignment of the vision, robot, or work jigs, it ensures easy operation and maintenance while minimizing downtime.

Workflow
| STEP 1. | Separately recognize each product from an input box containing a mix of various items. |
|---|---|
| STEP 2. | Pick products starting from those stacked on top. |
| STEP 3. | Load the picked products into designated positions within the discharge box. |
| STEP 4. | Continue operations until all items in the input box are sorted into individual boxes. (The system recognizes Pick & Place locations via vision and performs tasks regardless of changes in the positions of input or discharge boxes.) |
Features
Compact and Simple Installation
Easy Robot Teaching: Teaching time is reduced through automated vision calibration and teaching using deep learning.
No Recalibration Needed: Even if work conditions change, manual recalibration and re-teaching are unnecessary.
Superior Recognition: Deep learning-based 3D object recognition provides excellent detection capabilities for a wide variety of items.
Autonomous Learning: Automatically learns the optimal picking position according to the product's shape.
Compact and Simple Setup
No Fixed Positioning Required: Since input and discharge boxes do not need to be fixed in specific locations, there is no need to manufacture separate feeders.
Seamless Integration: The robot can be installed directly in the existing workspace previously used by human workers.
Fast Return on Investment (ROI)
Rapid Cycle Times: By using high-speed industrial robots and independent standing vision systems, cycle times can be shortened by more than 2 seconds compared to Hand-Eye solutions.
Operational Optimization & Maintenance Cost Reduction: Shortens cycle times by continuously learning and optimizing work postures and paths.
Automatic Compensation: Even if the layout shifts or the robot becomes misaligned due to aging, the system automatically compensates and continues tasks.
Stable Productivity: Minimizes downtime to ensure consistent production levels.

Recommended Solution
Logistics Robot 'KARRY' by DOGU
The autonomous logistics robot KARRY by DOGU KONGAN is a robotic solution designed for logistics centers, factories, and warehouses. It optimizes operations by either following a human worker to transport cargo or navigating autonomously to designated locations. The primary objective of this project was to automate heavy-load transport tasks to resolve the issue of cumulative worker fatigue. In this setup, human workers remain at fixed stations while the logistics transport process itself is fully automated. Featuring efficient and safe autonomous navigation, KARRY is easy to deploy in any logistics environment due to its intuitive user-recognition system and low barrier to entry.
Fish Cake Sorting & Stacking with NACHI MZ07L & Vision Tracking
This automation solution utilizes twelve NACHI MZ07L robots and advanced vision tracking technology to stack fish cake products into plastic boxes. Even with irregular-shaped products like fish cakes, the system accurately recognizes the position of items moving on the conveyor and performs high-speed picking and placing into individual containers.
Casting Operations through ABB IRB 6700 Foundry Plus
This is a machine tending automation solution that utilizes the ABB IRB 6700 Foundry Plus 2 to transport castings and automate the loading and unloading of workpieces. The process involves transferring and handling molten metal at extremely high temperatures—a task that poses significant safety risks and results in slow production speeds when performed manually. By implementing ABB's specialized foundry robot, the facility has successfully secured workplace safety and drastically increased production throughput.
