Industrial Automation
Challenges:
The manufacturer wanted to investigate whether Omron’s AIVs (Autonomous Intelligent Vehicles) can be used to automatically transport tyres in between work processes to cut down mundane tasks and improve productivity.
To help address these challenges, Omron’s Mobile robots were brought in with a customised rack configuration that can hold six tyres simultaneously.
ÂMobile Robot Material Handling Stages:
What Omron’s AIVs delivered.
The use of mobile robots allows the manufacturer to automate the movement of pushing these heavy loads, subsequently reducing fatigue. Omron mobile robots are also equipped with on-board intelligence and sensors to avoid obstacles, which improved the safety of the workers.
Increased Productivity and QualityThe innovative technology is having a positive effect in the productivity of the site. Automating the once manually demanding task promoted overall well-being of the workers. Hence, reducing the rate of human error and improving general quality.
Reduced Manpower Concerns due to High TurnoversManagers/Supervisors no longer have to worry about labour shortage or high turnover rates and be able to focus on more complex tasks.
In contrast to conventional AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles), which require modifications to the existing infrastructure (embedded magnets, magnetic strips, laser sensors, etc.), Omron’s AIVs do not involve any changes to the building infrastructure, are completely autonomous and are also easily integrated by the company’s employees.
The engineers at the production site were pleased with the ease of deployment with single point of contact for integration with factory systems and easy to use PC-based software user interface to manage the robot or the fleet.
