Lighthouse factory upgrade again! SEER helps intelligent flow of 3C electronic manufacturing production line

Background Of The Project

One fortune 500 company in France. Pro-face is one of the 90 "lighthouse factories" in the world. Due to the large production workshop area and scattered production vehicles, and because the cooperation of various production lines and handling is carried out in the form of manpower + magnetic stripe carts, coupled with the system of working on two sides and difficult-to-handle materials, many companies face high labor costs and low handling efficiency. As the industry-leading lighthouse factory, it is looking for a smarter and more flexible circulation form of the production line.

Customer Issues

The lighthouse factory refers to the "world's most advanced factory" with sufficient technological content and innovation as a demonstrator of digital manufacturing and globalization 4.0 jointly selected by the World Economic Forum and McKinsey & Co. Pro-face is one of the 90 "lighthouse factories" in the world. Due to the large production workshop area and scattered production vehicles, and because the cooperation of various production lines and handling is carried out in the form of manpower + magnetic stripe carts, coupled with the system of working on two sides and difficult-to-handle materials, many companies face high labor costs and low handling efficiency. As the industry-leading lighthouse factory, it is looking for a smarter and more flexible circulation form of the production line.

Solutions

SEER Intelligent provides a end-to-end industrial logistics solutions based on various problems in the factory and completes the comprehensive upgrade of the entire factory in multiple cycles with a huge product matrix. At present, the first phase of the program has been put into operation, the second phase of the program is being implemented, and multiple follow-up programs are being planned in an orderly manner.

The composition of the Phase 1 program

1. ABM-300J latent jacking type unmanned transport chassis.

2. RDS unified resource scheduling system .

3. Ladder control module.


Workflow of Phase 1 program

1. Materials are manually pulled to the warehouse cache location, and the corresponding location identification module transmits the location information to the RDS, and the system records the location status.

2. Production line employees place transportation orders to the system through PDA.

3. Dispatch idle AMR after system processing to transport materials to the receiving location.

4. Complete the transportation between the customer line assembly area and the warehouse.

Difficulties in Implementation

In the previous handling mode, a large number of magnetic strip vehicles were left on site to carry products and sundries. If you want to renovate such a workshop, besides the issue of improving efficiency, how to carry out renovation quickly is also a huge challenge.

In summary, customers face the following issues on the site, which need to be resolved urgently:

1. The magnetic strip vehicle has a long transportation route and low efficiency.

2. Working on both sides, high labor intensity.

3. The cost of renovation is high, and the required period is long.

4. The degree of renovation will greatly affect production efficiency, and a greater degree of renovation will even cause the factory to stop production.

5. Complex logistics transfer links in the factory such as entering the warehouse, leaving warehouse, multi-production line circulation.

Solution highlights

1. Flexible scheduling and the route can be adjusted as needed
The AMB-300J is equipped with SRC series core controllers, and it is perfectly connected to the factory system through the unified resource scheduling system RDS for flexible scheduling.
2. Straight-line distance helps shorten the transportation time
The laser SLAM-based jacking robot realizes true trackless autonomous navigation. Without changing the warehouse environment, the robot can travel autonomously, picking and handling intelligently.
3. Smaller blind areas to ensure the safety of man and machine
Equipped with front and rear dual lasers, it can achieve two-way drilling of the shelf; with safe touch edges, it provides more protection.
4. The robot supports fast charging
Realize 24-hour uninterrupted operation, which also greatly improves the safety of the warehouse
The cooperation between SEER Intelligent and Schneider is not limited to Wuxi Pro-face. Besides, many domestic Schneider core factories maintain close cooperation with SEER Intelligent. We are pleasantly surprised to find that customers and workers on site are the ones who prefer these products, and their dependence on AMR far exceeds the imagination of engineers.

Benefits To Customers

Thanks to the end-to-end industrial logistics solutions of SEER Intelligent, it realized the intelligent upgrade of the factory with a lower cost and shorter project cycle under the premise of ensuring the original production efficiency. The workshop's production efficiency has been greatly improved after the Phase 1 renovation, and the Phase 2 warehousing renovation is also accelerating!
