Business needs
In recent years, many factories producing cameras and visions have continuously expanded their scale. Due to the long distance of logistics transportation in the workshop, the frequency of logistics transportation is increasing day by day, and the huge production load has caused the pressure on the internal storage of the workshop to become increasingly severe. Human transportation is replaced by automated equipment to reduce labor cost is imminent.
Therefore, many companies are establishing an intelligent logistics system, integrating enterprise logistics resources, and realizing automation upgrades. At the same time, in line with the new round of information technology development such as the Internet of Things and Big Data, the construction of “smart factories” is an inevitable trend in the future development of enterprises.
Solution
In order to accelerate the upgrading of enterprise logistics automation, a smart camera manufacturing company launched an innovative factory construction project in 2017, introduced smart warehousing and in-factory logistics solutions, and put into use the Flash series. There are nearly 100 Flash warehousing robots, which realize the logistics automation handling covering the whole factory.
Robot automated transportation covering the whole factory
The project covers the production workshop, finished product warehouse, and parts warehouse of the production base. Robots complete more than 3,000 daily logistics handling tasks between the front production line, assembly line, parts warehouse, self-made parts storage yard, and finished product warehouse. Realize the automatic transportation of mobile robots for self-made parts, parts, and finished product logistics.
Function realization
- Intelligent logistics system integration: docking with EWM and MES systems (third-party system integration)
- Realization of automatic handling of all logistics: self-made parts enter and exit the storage yard, parts enter and exit the warehouse and are distributed to the production line, and finished products are transported by robots instead of manual handling
- Realization of unmanned warehouse: realize unmanned management of parts warehouse and self-made parts storage yard
- Intelligent operation and maintenance data statistics presentation
- Real-time monitoring of robot running status on web browsers and mobile APP

Project Benefits
Flexible warehouse and production line layout: visual + inertial navigation, millimeter-level positioning accuracy; short QR code implementation period, low cost, flexible lines; robots support arcs, more flexible production line layout; storage yard route management to improve storage capacity;
EWM system docking: The interface is simple and universal; through system task configuration, realize the combination of various handling tasks of the robot; implement shelf management, record the current position and circulation of the shelf; meet various third-party docking agreements;
Intelligent operation and maintenance data statistics: TPM operation and maintenance management function realizes intelligent management of various operation scenarios of the robot;
Safety protection upgrade: The robot has built-in laser and ultrasonic distance detection, and is equipped with collision bars and emergency stop buttons. Multiple protections ensure the safety of man and machine during movement.
Customer benefits
The smart warehousing and in-factory logistics solution has been officially launched for just over four months and has achieved remarkable benefits, helping the company to basically realize its original intention of building a smart factory.
- Realized cost reduction of labor, and the number of logistics operators in the production workshop was reduced by 30%;
- Realize fully automated logistics handling, delivery efficiency increased by more than 35%, material delivery timeliness rate increased by more than 95%;
- Establish an intelligent logistics system to lay the foundation for the successful promotion of future projects.
