Process Overview
This case study demonstrates an inline logistics solution that utilizes the Yujin Robot GoCart180 and an upper conveyor module to automatically transport plastic injection products from the injection molding machine to the shipping facility.
By developing a conveyor module tailored to the customer's production line, we automated product loading and unloading, achieving complete automation throughout the entire inline transport process without operator intervention.

Project Duration
- Need for consultation
Project Background and Objectives
- Injection molding manufacturing in-line labor shortage
- Factory operations are disrupted due to difficulties securing workers
- Workers avoid work due to the risk of musculoskeletal disorders and industrial accidents
Components
| Robot | Two Yujin Robot GoCart180 ; Payload: 180kg ; ISO 13482 PLd safety standard certified ; Operating speed: up to 1.0m/s |
|---|---|
| Peripherals | Upper electric conveyor module ; Order picking cart ; Middleware |
Workflow
| STEP 1. | After the injection molding machine injects the food container, it is discharged onto the conveyor |
|---|---|
| STEP 2. | When the injection product reaches a certain amount, the AMR is automatically called |
| STEP 3. | The injection product is automatically loaded from the injection molding machine conveyor to the upper conveyor of the AMR |
| STEP 4. | The AMR moves the injection product to the shipping space |
| STEP 5. | The injection product is automatically unloaded from the AMR conveyor to the shipping conveyor |
| STEP 6. | The worker packages and ships the product. |
Features
- Fully automated inline logistics using electric conveyor modules
- ISO 13482 PLd certification, safe AMR movement utilizing seven sensors
- Preventing industrial accidents through automated transport of high-temperature plastic injection molded parts
- Consulting to optimize robot operation based on operational data after solution implementation
Results
| Key Benefits | The introduction of robots has reduced the amount of simple transportation work, and the number of simple walking routes for workers during work hours has been reduced by 90%. Robots have replaced these tasks, reducing labor costs by 33%. |
|---|---|
| Client Feedback | By replacing the 25-meter-long transport task, which required a single worker to walk every five minutes, with AMRs, worker satisfaction has increased and they can now focus on higher-value tasks. By completely separating the hazardous injection molding machine workspace from the worker's workspace, we have eliminated safety risks such as noise and crushing. Furthermore, by establishing the image of a state-of-the-art factory utilizing AMRs during customer visits, we have positively impacted customer orders. |

Recommended Solution
Cosmetic Container Packaging through COMAU Racer-5
This automated packaging solution utilizes the COMAU Racer-5 to automate the manual process of loading cosmetic containers into boxes. The system picks up containers arriving in a single line and arranges them into organized rows within the box. It also automates the placement of interlayer sheets (dividers) between each layer of products, ensuring maximum productivity while minimizing management touchpoints. By handling both the product and the packaging material, the robot provides a seamless and efficient end-of-line solution.
