Project Overview
This implementation case is designed to utilize Omron AMR Logistics robots to automatically retrieve and transport individual products weighing approximately 20–30kg. Previously, workers had to manually move heavy items, leading to a high risk of musculoskeletal disorders and decreased logistics efficiency due to misclassification issues arising from repetitive manual labor. The Omron AMR was introduced to solve these problems and is configured to stably transport products of various sizes and shapes. The AMR's top module is equipped with photo sensors to detect the presence of products and includes a distance setting function to ensure the safe and smooth transport of goods.
Project Background & Objectives
The objective of this project is to reduce the physical burden on workers and improve the accuracy of logistics processes by minimizing misclassifications that occur during repetitive tasks. By introducing automation through AMRs, the primary goals of this project are: ① protecting the health and safety of workers, ② improving the accuracy and speed of logistics flow, and ③ optimizing initial investment costs while reducing maintenance expenses.
Components
| Robot | Robot Omron AMR Logistics Robot: Introduces an AMR Logistics robot that stably transports individual products and automates product retrieval in collaboration with workers. |
|---|
Workflow
| STEP 1. | Send Work Command: The product retrieval task begins via a wireless switch. |
|---|---|
| STEP 2. | Individual Product Retrieval: Products of various sizes and shapes are loaded onto the station and retrieved by the AMR's top module. |
| STEP 3. | AMR Movement: The AMR safely transports the products to the designated destination. |
| STEP 4. | Product Discharge: Accurately discharges individual products at the destination. |
Features
Flexible Adaptation to Various Logistics Environments: Capable of automatically transporting diverse products, including boxed goods, individual tools, and irregular items across general and manufacturing logistics settings.
Seamless Automation via Conveyor and Top Module Integration: Automated the product transfer process without manual intervention through 'Conveyor ↔ AMR integration' and 'Top Module Push Tool ↔ Stopper integration.'
Low Installation Costs: Minimized driving components to ensure affordable installation, with reduced maintenance burdens thanks to gravity-assisted transport methods.
Customized Top Modules: Supports various retrieval tasks with options such as driven push-type, driven rotary-type, or non-driven rotary-type modules tailored to site-specific needs.
Results
| Key Benefits | Reduced Physical Strain on Workers: Guaranteed worker health and safety by decreasing the musculoskeletal burden stemming from repetitive tasks.
Increased Efficiency: Improved productivity through an accurate and fast logistics process by lowering misclassification and collection error rates.
Cost Reduction: Achieved high maintenance efficiency while reducing initial investment costs through non-driven conveyors and automated systems.
