Process layout

This solution automates the repalletizing process for Atlas batteries produced by Hankook & Company for export. Due to the diverse import pallet specifications, customer-specific palletizing patterns, and product types, the total number of possible scenarios exceeds 200. The goal is to standardize these scenarios and ensure line stability by supporting a throughput of 10 pallets per minute for medium-sized batteries and 6 pallets per minute for large-sized batteries.


[Pallet Feeder & Pallet Conveyor]


  • This solution allows for the use of up to five different pallet types per country, ensuring a smooth 10-stack logistics cycle. Destacked pallets are transported to the battery palletizing position and aligned simultaneously. Completed pallets are transported to the discharge position.


[Battery Sorter]


  • Batteries fed inline are automatically sorted into 1st, 2nd (series/parallel), and 3rd layers according to the preset palletizing pattern. The robot then discharges the batteries, repeating the initialization process.


[Robot Palletizer]


  • Once aligned, the batteries are picked and placed at the palletizing position on the conveyor, repeating the pick-and-place process according to the specified location and number of layers. Honeycomb feeds are automatically inserted into each layer according to the settings.


[Honeycomb Feeder & Sorter]


  • Automatically sorts and inserts honeycombs into each layer of NO-BOX batteries.

Features

  • Standardized palletizing for various pallets, patterns, and products.
  • Secured daily palletizing capacity of 2,000 large and 4,000 medium-sized pallets, based on a 10-hour daily operation and an 85% safety margin.
  • Reduced the number of workers per line from 4 to 1.
  • Operator training, manuals, BOM lists, and spare parts lists were created and distributed. Video materials were secured for manager reference. Emergency response was provided in the event of a line shutdown.

Results

Client Feedback
Palletizing batteries weighing up to 60 kg by hand by four people was a highly shunned task due to the risk of musculoskeletal disorders and even fatalities in the event of a fall. Even with four people working, the logistics cycle was not smooth, resulting in significant labor costs. However, after automating palletizing with Marosol, we were able to reduce the number of workers per line from four to one, ensuring safer work.

Processed Parts Transfer using Potenit Mobile Manipulator & 5G Integration

Processed Parts Transfer using Potenit Mobile Manipulator & 5G Integration

This logistics automation solution utilizes a Mobile Manipulator integrated with 5G technology to transfer workpieces between distant processing stages. Potenit's AMR solution can be deployed easily without the need for additional infrastructure (like floor markers or rails) and offers high flexibility when layouts or work positions change. Through Potenit's proprietary MOS (Multi Robot Operating System), operators can monitor and direct tasks in real-time via mobile devices. By syncing equipment data with the AMR, the system automates the necessary tasks between pre- and post-processing stages. It is an ideal solution for 24/7 operations that require high productivity without human intervention. *This specific solution involved Potenit supplying the AMR and Doosan Robotics arm to ETRI (Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute), followed by 5G integration. Detailed tool fabrication and task-specific teaching/tuning were conducted internally by ETRI.

Sorting and Transferring Medicated Patches using Yaskawa Robots

This automation solution utilizes the YASKAWA MCL20 to sort and transfer medicated patches (pain relief patches) within a cleanroom environment. The system performs precise counting and neat alignment—tasks previously handled by human workers—with human-like dexterity. By simultaneously processing four batches, the system significantly increases operational speed and overall productivity.
