CASUN | Unveiling the Unsung Hero of Intelligent Handling in Automotive Manufacturing

Unveiling the "Unsung Hero" of Intelligent Handling in Automotive Manufacturing

The client of this project is a leading company in the automotive industry, actively seeking solutions to improve production efficiency in the face of market competition. To optimize the process of transferring machined blanks to the line-side warehouse and finished product transfer, the decision was made to introduce Jiashun Intelligent’s smart logistics system to replace traditional operations. This transformation will not only reduce labor costs but also improve the accuracy and safety of material handling, laying the foundation for the company's sustainable development. The core goal of the project is to deploy AGVs/AMRs to build an efficient and safe logistics transfer system, enhancing the overall automation level and ensuring smooth and flexible production processes. This innovative initiative will help the client maintain a competitive edge in the highly competitive market environment.

• High Load and Operational Efficiency Requirements: The project needs to ensure that different models of AGVs/AMRs meet various load requirements while maintaining efficient and stable operation. This requires designing AGVs/AMRs with powerful power systems that can operate smoothly on uneven surfaces, preventing equipment failure or material damage caused by vibrations or shocks.

• High Navigation and Accuracy Control Requirements: The navigation system of the AGVs/AMRs must feature high-precision laser and visual recognition technologies to ensure precise positioning and optimal path planning in complex factory environments. Advanced algorithms should be used to optimize the path, while real-time environmental sensing is needed to adapt to dynamic changes in the work scene.

• High System Integration and Communication Requirements: Achieving efficient communication between AGVs/AMRs and the central control system is key. High-bandwidth, low-latency communication protocols must be used to ensure real-time status monitoring and fault alarm functionality. Additionally, the system must seamlessly integrate with existing production management systems to enable instant data sharing and processing, thereby improving overall operational efficiency.

CASUN has designed and implemented a comprehensive intelligent logistics solution tailored to the customer's logistics needs:

• Introduction of Multi-Type Robot Systems: This solution includes unmanned stacker forklift AMRs, back-lift AMRs, and dual-layer roller AMRs, ensuring efficient material transfer in complex production environments by addressing different load requirements and transport tasks. These AMRs use laser and vision navigation technologies to achieve precise positioning and efficient flow.

• Dynamic Monitoring and Mode Switching: Embedded control systems are integrated into the AMRs to support real-time monitoring and multi-mode switching. The system can self-adjust in different working environments, optimizing operational efficiency and overcoming the limitations of traditional manual operations, thereby enhancing the flexibility of the production line.

• Safety Protection and Human-Machine Collaboration: To ensure operational safety, the system is equipped with highly sensitive photoelectric sensors and mechanical protective devices, as well as emergency stop buttons. These safety measures not only effectively reduce the occurrence of accidents but also ensure safety during human-machine collaboration, providing a secure operating environment.

• Efficient and Intelligent: The CRMS system simultaneously controls multiple types of AMRs, automatically performing various material transfer tasks. This significantly reduces manual intervention and labor costs, improves operational efficiency, shortens material handling times, and optimizes the overall production process.

• Precise Navigation: The dual technology of laser navigation and visual navigation ensures that the AMRs operate with high precision in complex production environments. This accurate navigation minimizes errors, improves the accuracy of material handling, and reduces the risk of production delays.

• Flexible Adaptability: The solution is highly flexible and can be optimized and adjusted according to the actual needs of the production line. It supports online fast-charging functionality, enabling AMRs to quickly recharge during operation, extending their working time and maintaining continuous and efficient production.

• Comprehensive Safety: The system integrates multiple safety mechanisms, including high-sensitivity photoelectric sensors, mechanical protection devices, and fault alarm systems. These safety measures ensure the safe operation of AMRs in relation to humans and objects, reducing potential safety risks and creating a safer working environment for the production line.
