During the epidemic period, Kunhou's ability and determination to "guarantee delivery"!
Wen | Luo Yingying
Since 2015, the mobile robot industry has exploded. At the same time, unmanned forklifts have attracted much attention as a popular track. As one of the earliest players to enter the unmanned forklift industry, Kunhou Intelligent first entered the market with a self-developed navigation control module, and resolutely transformed unmanned forklift trucks in the industry wave. Nowadays, Kunhou's main navigation chip + group control system of cost-effective forklift AGV has realized the 100% independent development of software and hardware core technologies, and has become an important chip in differentiated competition.
In 2021, the sales volume of Kunhou intelligent products doubled, and its six major industries such as power, textiles, metallurgy, cables and lithium batteries accounted for 70% of shipments.
At the beginning of 2022, the spread of the epidemic has brought a considerable impact on the business expansion and project delivery of the entire mobile robot industry. In order to cope with the impact of the epidemic, Kunhou Intelligent implemented the details of the plan through remote technology docking, online video conferencing and other means to promote the project process.
Cao Rui, general manager of Kunhou Intelligence, said that under the unfavorable factors such as manpower damage and supply shortage, the company's colleagues overcame all difficulties and made unremitting efforts to finally start all vehicles smoothly and the project was successfully delivered. "This also reflects kunhou's determination and ability to ensure that projects are delivered on time."
Case 1: Kunhou Baitai AMR is used in the cable industry
Recently, a large domestic cable industry company purchased nearly 100 AMRs from Kunhou, and the first batch delivered more than 20 units. Help the enterprise reduce costs and increase efficiency.
The project site is complex and there are many interactive devices. AMRs not only need to dock with the conveyor line to complete the handling work, but also need to cooperate with on-site robotic arms and other intelligent equipment.
Based on Kunhou's strong technical strength, the project has realized the upgrading of line-side logistics handling automation. Using laser slam navigation technology, AMR and several unmanned forklift AGVs in the same area scheduling, use, perfect cooperation with a variety of robots and intelligent equipment on site, to achieve seamless logistics between the intelligent equipment.
Through this transformation, AMR effectively replaces manual labor, reduces labor costs, realizes unmanned cargo transfer, and improves operational efficiency. The success of this transformation has laid the foundation for the company's full automation and digital upgrading in the future. Based on the replicability of the project, it is of great significance to promote the intelligent transformation and upgrading of the industry.
Case 2: Kunhou unmanned forklift truck is used in the foundry industry
In a large-scale casting enterprise project in Shandong, the customer enterprise purchased several Kunhou unmanned pallet stacker trucks and trucks, which were mainly used in various casting workshops and undertook the transportation work of the workshop. The system adopts laser and visual hybrid navigation technology, transports heavy-duty embryo precision docking processing equipment, and the docking accuracy reaches the millimeter level, and builds industry barriers through technical strength. Through KH-WCS, multiple trolleys are uniformly dispatched and information exchanged with the WMS at the customer site to complete the intelligent closed loop of the entire factory.
The main difficulty of the project is that the Kunhou unmanned forklift AGV involves the transfer and docking of multiple scenarios. Including docking with the vertical storage conveyor line and the WMS docking of the upper level system. The unmanned forklift AGV also transfers the materials at various production stations according to the production process. Kunhou gives full play to the advantages of flexible handling of AGVs and successfully realizes the rapid response of material supply. Based on the self-developed navigation chip and group control system, the laser SLAM and visual hybrid navigation technology are used to ensure that the material distribution process in each node is accurate and reliable.
Through this transformation, the company can not only save manpower, but also improve the efficiency of material transportation. The production efficiency has been significantly improved, and the comprehensive operating cost has been reduced, which fully reflects the automation and intelligence of production. Based on the positive impact of this transformation, the company is expected to purchase dozens of Kunhou unmanned forklifts and put them into use to achieve intelligent production throughout the plant.
Case 3: Kunhou forward forklift AGV landed in a large storage center
A large warehousing center in Beijing applies several Kunhou forward forklift AGVs with a single load of 1.4 tons. Automated cargo picking and handling from three-dimensional warehouse to conveyor line through on-site scheduling. Reduce the number of on-site workers and improve on-site handling efficiency.
The difficulty of the project is that several forward-moving forklift AGVs shuttle intelligent libraries and connect with the conveyor line. The storage center covers a large area, has many warehouse locations, and requires high docking accuracy. Based on Kunhou laser Slam navigation technology, AGV can basically replace human labor, comparable to skilled porters. Through the scheduling system independently developed by Kunhou, several forward-moving forklift AGVs can be smoothly connected with the three-dimensional warehouse conveyor line, realizing the informatization and refined management of the warehousing center.
The automation transformation of AGV helped the warehouse center to create an efficient, transparent and responsive management platform. Improve the efficiency of warehouse management and achieve benign storage cost control. Machines replace manpower, liberate manpower, and gradually realize unmanned operation of warehousing centers, greatly saving labor costs and achieving cost reduction and efficiency.
In addition to the above projects, the current Kunhou deep ploughing power, metallurgy, textile and other industries, in the impact of the epidemic still maintains a stable delivery capacity, the project in various fields of scenes in full bloom, Cao Rui said, under the epidemic, all walks of life can be more aware of the reduction of personnel, to achieve the unmanned and automated production of enterprises is how important. In the future development, this will certainly become the general trend, Kunhou will continue to contribute to the promotion of intelligent upgrading of the manufacturing industry.
