AMR logistics robots introduced to manufacturing factory ✨ Logistics automation that quickly resolves even 1 ton of waste drbris (2 KUKA KMP 1500P logistics robots)

Process layout

Process Overview

This case study demonstrates the installation of a KUKA KMP 1500P logistics robot at Bigwave Robotics (Marosol) to transport rollers and scrap debris within the space manufacturing facility. The KMP 1500P autonomously handles up to 1 ton of scrap debris over a 1.2 km distance and automatically transports heavy-duty roller modules weighing up to 1 ton. Furthermore, sensors embedded in the KMP 1500P enabled the development of an unmanned system capable of safely transporting heavy-duty materials.

Project Background and Purpose

Automated unmanned transport using autonomous robots
Robots perform simple, repetitive tasks
Safe operation of heavy-duty products using various sensors
Remote control and monitoring using SOLlink

Components

Robot	KUKA KMP 1500P *2
Peripherals	2 automatic robot charging stations; 1 manual robot charging station; 1 hardware PC for KUKA robot server; 1 license for KUKA robot server; 2 SOLlink tablet controllers; 1 SOLlink server; 5 robot transport carts; 10 cart stations

Workflow

STEP 1.	Loading of carts in the departure area (loading area)
STEP 2.	Work command via SOLlink (tablet)
STEP 3.	Loading carts in the departure area using a robot lift
STEP 4.	Transporting carts to the destination area
STEP 5.	Unloading carts using a robot lift
STEP 6.	Setting automatic charging during non-work hours
STEP 7.	Charging
STEP 8.	Waiting for work after recovering to the preset battery level
STEP 9.	When robots cross, give way to the robot with priority and then cross (priority granting criteria: order of work commands)

Results

Key Benefits	Automated material handling → Automatically handles over 80 times per day without human intervention, approximately doubling work efficiency. Safe transport of 1-ton heavy-duty debris → Safety detection and collision avoidance are fully implemented using 3D cameras and LiDAR sensors. Autonomous driving route optimization → Automatically drives along a set path within a 1.2km section, with priority control when robots intersect to ensure safety. Improved worker working conditions → Eliminates repetitive heavy-duty transport tasks, reducing worker fatigue and enhancing process focus. Improved process efficiency and stable operating rates → Automatically recharges and enables continuous unmanned transport, even during nighttime and non-working hours.
Client Feedback	Back when heavy debris had to be moved manually, there were many safety concerns and fatigue buildup. Now, robots are doing the work for us, making it much safer.
