Case Summary
This project uses an AGV system to realize the material transfer between various processes of battery pack assembly, testing and packaging. Its operation process is a circular production line, which includes charge and discharge testing, heating film testing and airtightness testing.
This project primarily addresses the technical challenges of integrating various peripheral equipment systems, such as transmission equipment, robotic arms, and barcode scanners. Secondly, it accurately implements priority logic for AGV operation, automatically selecting and planning the most suitable transportation route based on the sequence of different workstations.
The client's main current problems
1. Information silos
The field has a variety of equipment types, and there is no interaction between the systems of each device, which means that data information needs to be recorded manually, resulting in a large workload and a high error rate.
2. Low manual efficiency
The large operating area and long transportation routes, coupled with the mismatch between manual operation speed and production line rhythm, restrict the company's production capacity.
3. Inaccurate parking location
Manual material handling is difficult to fix in place and often results in large deviations, leading to docking errors with automated equipment on site and affecting the smooth completion of production operations.
Solution
1. Main Products: This project utilizes 97 C1-11 submersible traction AGVs.
One warehouse location management system, one AGV management system, etc.
2. System Services: Interacts with on-site automated equipment to enable automatic material feeding.
3. Integrate with the customer's production management system to transmit AGV status, material information, and other data to the customer's system in a timely manner.
Customer value / Solution implementation results
1. Reduce fixed equipment investment costs: Create flexible production lines, improve production scheduling flexibility, and save on fixed equipment investment costs;
2. Improve yield and accuracy: Reduce material damage during handling, decreasing the defect rate by 90%.
3. Improve transportation positioning accuracy: The transportation accuracy rate is increased to 99%, meeting the peak demand of full production across the entire line.
4. Achieve intelligent logistics within the facility: optimize warehouse location, route, and task allocation, and implement full-process information technology.
Project innovation/application prospects
1. Enables system interaction among multiple devices: The AGV system can interact with on-site automation equipment.
Seamless integration between backup systems and customer systems enables data transfer.
2. Achieve intelligent optimal path planning: Relying on AI algorithms, AGVs can autonomously determine the priority of transportation tasks and formulate the optimal path.
