Cracking the "Last 100 Meters Problem" of Car Production
Automobile assembly workshop is the largest workshop in the automaker, the production beat of the automobile assembly line is 20 to 40 vehicles per hour, and the assembly parts of each model are more than 3000 kinds, due to the limited logistics location next to the production line, so it is necessary to continuously transport the materials from the production line side library to the production line on time, and the punctuality of material transportation determines the punctuality of production.
In order to achieve efficient transportation of materials, Toyota Motor began to carry out the final assembly workshop material transportation automation upgrade to improve the production efficiency of the workshop, in view of the FACT THAT STAND ROBOT has a wealth of project implementation experience in the automotive industry, can provide a combination of software and hardware flexible factory logistics solutions, Toyota Motor chose to use THE STANDER robot solution to upgrade the final assembly workshop.
01 | Demand-driven technology drive
In the traditional mode of operation, it is necessary to manually drive the tractor in the factory, drive from the line edge library to the feeding area, manually delink each material truck from the tractor one by one, push it to the material cache station, and then connect the empty material truck to the tractor one by one, drive back to the line edge library, and cycle the operation process back and forth.
On the basis of understanding customer needs, combined with the actual scenarios of the customer's assembly workshop, STD tailored a highly flexible intelligent factory logistics solution for Toyota Motor, and pioneered the realization of fully automatic decoupling and hooking of AMR and traction vehicle in the industry, which can complete the full replacement of materials from the line-side library to the material vehicle in the material area, and finally return to the closed-loop unmanned operation of the whole process of line-side warehouse, solving the last 100-meter problem of material distribution in the final assembly workshop of the automotive industry. In a real sense, it has promoted the upgrading of logistics automation equipment in the automotive industry.
02 | Aim at pain points and apply precise measures
True unmanned traction, AMR needs to achieve automatic docking, traction, trailer truck process full automation.
6 material vehicles are pulled at a time, the material car body is longer, and the trajectory followability of the tail material vehicle is poor during operation, which tests the path planning ability
The total weight of the 6 material trucks is close to 3 tons, which tests the towing capacity of the AMR unmanned tractor
During the transport route, there will be encounters with other manual tractors, requiring traffic control
03 | Traction load with great flexibility
STD's flexible factory logistics solutions for Toyota motor vehicles subvert tradition and empower development.
Gulf-3000-QDD unmanned tractor is suitable for long-distance multi-range material transfer scenarios, the tail is equipped with STD's self-developed automatic hooking structure, to meet the customer's 3 tons of traction weight, based on STD's self-developed laser SLAM navigation technology, no need for fixed infrastructure transformation can be completed to complete the deployment, independent planning path.
Integrating 360 ° all-area obstacle avoidance, space three-dimensional obstacle avoidance, sound and light alarm, safety touch, emergency stop switch and other complete safety protection mechanisms, can achieve a full range of safety protection.
Combined with STD 3D visual recognition technology and motion control technology, in the case of the deviation of the material vehicle position, the automatic hook is completed by adjusting the docking path, which can realize the empty displacement from the material preparation in the reservoir area to the line station bin, and finally return to the reservoir area.
04 | both soft and hard
Make "smart" manufacturing simpler
In addition, with the STD FMS scheduling management system, central control system, to help Toyota motor to solve the unmanned tractor scheduling and task management problems in the assembly workshop, through the FMS and customer WMS system docking, the unmanned tractor can be assigned tasks, path planning and real-time data monitoring, and when intersecting with the manual tractor, traffic control can be realized, and the active stop around the obstacle can be realized.
05 | has achieved remarkable results
New capacity upgrades
For the first time, the automatic connection between AMR and tractor truck was realized
Solves the long-standing problem that the traction AMR cannot automatically attach and decouple the material car.
Visual management
Realize the intelligent production of automobile production line, traceability, early warning and control of material data, docking customer's existing WMS system, and paperless operation and information control of the whole process of traceability.
High security
With multiple safety protection mechanisms, it can achieve all-round safety protection, and will automatically stop or actively avoid obstacles when there are obstacles or pedestrians on the driving route, greatly reducing work risks.
Save labor costs
According to the planned route, the task lasts for 24h uninterrupted work, saving 8 people in the workshop material distribution personnel.
Stander Robot
Create a new benchmark for automobile "intelligence"
After the introduction of the STD intelligent logistics benchmarking scheme, toyota motor assembly workshop has achieved a significant improvement in the efficiency and quality of production logistics in the workshop. In addition to continuously providing customers with more advanced unmanned tractor products, STD is also committed to flexibly interconnecting different process equipment in the factory at the logistics level, responding to customer needs in the auto parts industry with more accurate, more efficient and safer solutions, and empowering auto parts enterprises to upgrade intelligently.
Since its development, the cumulative sales volume of STD robot AMR products has exceeded 4,000 units, adhering to the concept of "creating a standard mobile robot platform + N kinds of standard mobile robot derivative products + deeply embracing the needs of the industry", and has achieved coverage of 3C, semiconductor, photovoltaic, lithium battery, panel, auto parts, medical and pharmaceutical and other industries, and successfully landed 350+ projects.
