Robotic solutions for the automotive industry can open up the information flow of material circulation, storage and online links, comprehensively monitor material circulation information, and realize the improvement of quality and lean production.
DIFFICULTIES PRESENTED (WITHOUT ROBOTIC SOLUTION)
-
Small Batch and Wide Varieties of Parts
The demand for customized automotive parts is on the rise,and the traditional manufacturing model fails to adapt to the flexible changes.
-
Compact Takt Time
Frequent turnover of each process.The downtime of one workstation can cause the shutdown of the whole production line and even downstream customer factories.
-
Difficulty in Material Picking and Sorting
Since there are many kinds of assembly materials, the uniqueness of assembled materials leads to huge labor costs in the process of material entry and exit.
-
Low Logistics Efficiency
Traditional handling requires a large amount of labor, with low efficiency and potential safety hazards. And the pile-up of materials leads to low space utilization.
SOLUTION AND KEY BENEFITS
By adopting mobile robots with lifting module, forklift robots, three-dimentional shelves, and a roller convenyor line system, this automotive industry robotic solution enables automatic material handling, three-dimensional storage, fast in/out storage, and efficient assembly line operation during the whole process.
CASE STUDY
Project of a Leading Automotive Interior Trim Factory.
Project Overview
This is a cable assemblies and wire harness factory of a leading global automotive interior trim manufacturer. It assembles 60 sets of automotive interior trims per hour at peak times. To cope with the huge and complex picking tasks and to improve.
Efficiency and accuracy, the factory introduced a highly intelligent and flexible mobile robot system.
Solution
It introduces 3 mobile robots with lifting module, 5 storage robots and 3 material box handling robots. Together with the YOUIFleet scheduling system and YOUITMS logistics management system integrating with third-party WMS and MES, this.
Solution enables automatic handling, storage, and assembly line operation of materials, so as to create a smart logistics system from warehouse to production line.
