Process Overview
This palletizing automation solution uses the Hyundai Robotics HH050 and Mech-Mind 3D vision to detect mixed-size boxes, align them by size, and automatically stack them onto pallets. By leveraging a cost-effective 3D vision system, the cell can reliably palletize even when cartons of varying dimensions are mixed in the flow, ensuring stable operation.

Recommended Solution
Product Sorting Automation using UR5 and Deep Learning
This next-generation sorting solution leverages 3D Vision, Deep Learning (Instance Segmentation), Reinforcement Learning, and Motion Planning (OMPL) to automate complex tasks such as product classification, assembly, and packing. By utilizing cost-effective 3D vision, the system recognizes the type and location of products and bins in real-time. This allows the robot to automatically compensate for shifts in the position of items or boxes without manual intervention. The integration of Motion Planning drastically reduces human teaching time, while Reinforcement Learning optimizes movements to minimize overall cycle times.
Part Transfer using Autonomous Lift-Conveyor
This logistics robot solution utilizes an autonomous lift-conveyor to perform material transport tasks between manufacturing processes. By using vision technology to recognize workpiece information, the system can stack items in matching locations based on their category. Conversely, when a work command is received, it can retrieve necessary items from storage racks and move them to the discharge position. The integration of a linear track allows the robot to cover a wide operational area, enabling comprehensive inbound/outbound inventory management.
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.
