Process Overview

This case study demonstrates an order picking system that optimizes the operation of ten Eugene Gocart 180s using Marosol's remote control system, SOLlink.
With the self-developed SOLlink, multiple AMRs are clustered and controlled to maximize logistics system efficiency. The order picking system, integrated with WMS, allows for flexible handling during peak periods without the need for additional workers.

Project Background and Objectives

Improved workforce supply and employment stability through the introduction of logistics robots
Introducing robots for high-intensity, repetitive tasks reduces the risk of musculoskeletal disorders and industrial accidents among workers
Integrating WMS and order picking systems increases work efficiency and reduces error rates

Components

Robot	Yujin Robot GoCart180 *10
Peripherals	Integrated multi-robot system SOLlink Upper module Order picking cart Middleware

Workflow

STEP 1.	A worker positions himself between the racks in the warehouse
STEP 2.	AMR loads the cart
STEP 3.	AMR passes the rack and stops at a designated location
STEP 4.	The worker loads items onto the cart
STEP 5.	When the cart is full, the AMR unloads the cart at a designated location.

Features

Connect to the entire conveyor line for high-capacity processing.
The intuitive UX/UI of the OP panel allows for flexible support of various pallet/bag sizes.
Using a product sorting device, a vision-free, low-cost solution is implemented.

Results

Key Benefits	More than doubling the maximum daily order picking capacity per worker, expanding the use of robots in logistics warehouses, and reducing worker musculoskeletal disorders and turnover rates.
Client Feedback	The introduction of robots reduced workloads, leading to increased employee retention and a more flexible response to sudden increases in cargo volume. Notably, lower body fatigue was significantly reduced by eliminating the need to carry picked items. The logistics robot system, integrated with the upper-level WMS system, reduced human error and boosted customer satisfaction.

Indoor Logistics Transport and Loading Using VisionNav VNPA15🏗️

Process Overview This case study showcases a logistics automation solution that uses VisionNav's VNPA15 autonomous mobile robot (AMR) to automate the transport and loading/stacking of packaged products in indoor material-handling operations. Built on robust safety functions, the solution minimizes changes to existing workflows while enabling unattended load/unload tasks, and provides effective monitoring and control of real-time operations.

We successfully automated raw-material transport with OMRON AMRs! 👍

Process Overview This case study features a large, cylindrical raw-material transport solution using OMRON AMRs. Previously, raw-material transport was handled manually, with operators physically rolling large cylindrical containers to move them. Due to operator fatigue and low handling efficiency in this workflow, an automation solution became necessary. In this project, OMRON AMRs were introduced to automate raw-material transport, with the goal of reducing operator burden and significantly improving material-handling efficiency. Project Background and Objectives When raw materials arrived inbound in large containers, the manual transport process required high physical effort and carried a risk of injury. In addition, time loss and workload imbalance led to reduced productivity. The objective of this project is to address these issues by deploying an AMR-based automation solution and realizing more efficient internal logistics operations.
