Are you facing these "pain points of material loading & unloading"?

Pain Point 1: Difficult multi-robot collaboration restricts operational efficiency

The customer is a technology enterprise specializing in R&D, production and sales of electronic components, covering semiconductors, capacitors, resistors, motors and other products. Two AMRs are required to perform independent, alternating and interleaved operations on-site. However, traditional scheduling schemes struggle with complex multi-robot collaboration scenarios, prone to path conflicts and uneven task allocation, limiting overall efficiency.

Pain Point 2: Numerous workstations with complex priority allocation

There are a large number of workstations on-site, and different workstations have varying urgency levels for material bin supply. Reasonably assigning delivery priority of material bins to ensure no material shortage at key workstations is a core scheduling challenge to be solved.

Pain Point 3: Dual challenges of endurance and charging management

Production lines require 7×24-hour continuous production, imposing high requirements on AMR endurance: single-run endurance must exceed 12 hours. Meanwhile, when robots should charge and how to complete charging without interrupting production becomes a tough operation and maintenance problem.

Pain Point 4: Precision materials are extremely sensitive to vibration

Precision electronic components are placed inside material bins. Robots must ensure components do not shake out of tray grooves during pick, place and transportation, setting stringent requirements on robot motion control and stability.

Pain Point 5: High placement precision requirement with narrow error tolerance

Material bins require extremely high placement precision at workstations. Excessive deviation will prevent subsequent equipment from picking or processing normally. Traditional AMRs cannot guarantee consistent positioning accuracy after repeated operations.

Our Solution: Intelligent Scheduling + Precision Vision + Ultra-long Endurance to Systematically Resolve Material Loading & Unloading Challenges

Core 1: Self-developed AMR Scheduling System — Solve scheduling problems of "difficult multi-robot collaboration & chaotic priority allocation"

• Pain Point: Two AMRs need independent, alternating and interleaved operations; traditional scheduling solutions lead to conflicts and low efficiency.

• Solution: Adopt self-developed AMR scheduling system with built-in robot path search and traffic management functions. It can effectively predict and resolve deadlocks to realize independent, alternating and interleaved operations for multiple robots and rationalize on-site resource allocation.

• Technical Highlight: Based on integrated cost function, the globally optimal task allocation scheme is considered from the bottom layer. It provides a "carpooling mode" for multi-station robots to fulfill material bin transportation demand via the shortest path, maximizing robot utilization and transport efficiency while eliminating empty-running losses.

• Value Output: Multi-robot collaboration efficiency increased by over 50%, resource utilization maximized, empty load rate reduced by 60%.

Core 2: 2D Vision Guidance & High-precision Positioning — Solve precision problems of "inaccurate placement & misalignment"

• Pain Point: Material bins demand high placement precision; traditional AMRs suffer poor positioning consistency.

• Solution: Integrate self-developed 2D calibration and positioning algorithm. Real-time identification of workpiece markers via vision system guides the manipulator to perform precise pick-and-place, ensuring every placement stays within allowable error range.

• Value Output: Placement precision reaches leading industry level, eliminating equipment downtime caused by positioning deviation.

Core 3: Ultra-long Endurance & Intelligent Charging Management — Solve operation problems of "short endurance & chaotic charging"

• Pain Point: 24-hour continuous production requires endurance over 12 hours, and charging must not affect production takt.

• Solution: Equipped with 72AH high-capacity lithium battery, delivering up to 16 hours of endurance, well exceeding the 12-hour threshold. The scheduling system embeds an intelligent charging management module. It automatically plans charging timing and duration for each robot according to multi-dimensional factors including real-time workload, power threshold and workstation idle time, achieving "uninterrupted charging".

• Value Output: 7×24-hour non-stop operation, charging completely free from production disruption, automated operation and maintenance management.

Core 4: Low-vibration Motion Control — Solve safety problems of "precision material dislodging"

• Pain Point: Electronic components are vibration-sensitive and easily shake out of tray grooves during transportation.

• Solution: Optimized motion control algorithm and path planning strategy realize low-vibration stable robot operation. Measured data shows no workpiece dislodging after 72 hours of continuous running.

• Value Output: Zero damage to parts, guaranteed product quality and reduced scrap rate.
