Process Overview

This solution uses a stacker that travels along a line and automatically transfers boxes using a conveyor system.

By transferring boxes to a higher position with a stacker, it enables faster box handling compared to conventional methods, improving productivity. It also reduces the risk of safety accidents by separating operators from the work area. In addition, the stacker’s travel section is configured with PLC control, making maintenance convenient.

Components

Robot
  • Stacker

  • PC system

  • Mitsubishi MELSEC-Q PLC

  • Mitsubishi MELSEC-FX PLC

  • Barcode

  • Stacker travel line

  • Conveyor

Workflow

STEP 1.Outbound: Select the location of the box to be shipped via PC
STEP 2.The stacker moves along the line to the box location
STEP 3.The stacker moves along the line to the conveyor position
STEP 4.Load the box onto the conveyor
STEP 5.Outbound
STEP 6.Repeat the above process
STEP 7.Inbound: Select the location of the box to be received via PC
STEP 8.Load the box onto the stacker
STEP 9.Move along the line to the inbound location
STEP 10.Store the box at the designated position
STEP 11.Return to the original position
STEP 12.Repeat the above process

Features

Fast operations in narrow and high-space environments

  • Can quickly move to the work location by traveling along the line carrying the load

  • Enables stacking loads at elevated positions

  • Multiple lines can operate independently

  • Can store up to 3,360 boxes (based on this solution configuration)


Improved safety and productivity

  • Transfers loads in place of operators

  • Enables fast and accurate transport
