A leading enterprise in the global rubber products industry, focusing on the R&D and production of tires and rubber products, and its products are exported to many countries and regions around the world. With the intensification of market competition, the requirements of enterprises for production efficiency and cost control are constantly improving, and the disadvantages of the traditional film logistics mode of rubber mixing workshop relying on manual operation are becoming increasingly prominent. Under the trend of pursuing lean production and intelligent manufacturing, the company urgently needs in-depth changes in the logistics link to consolidate its leading position in the industry.
Customer needs
In the traditional logistics operation of the rubber mixing workshop, the handling, stacking and transportation of film completely rely on manually driven forklifts. This mode is not only inefficient, but also lacks the accuracy of film stacking, resulting in the warehouse space utilization rate only being maintained at about 60%, and it is difficult to control materials, which increases the cost of film management and the risk of expiration and waste. At the same time, the response speed of manual dispatch forklift is slow and the labor intensity is high. The company intends to achieve efficient, accurate and automated film logistics through intelligent solutions.
Solution
Through multiple V15F stacking forklift AGVs and V15T forklift AGVs, AGV Robotics helps enterprises build an intelligent film logistics system.
1. Warehousing and temporary storage
The V15F stacking forklift AGV accurately stacks the film to the designated cargo location on the shelf to achieve "first-in, first-out" management.
2. Outbound feeding
The system automatically dispatches AGV reclaiming according to the material requirements of the process, the V15F forklift AGV takes out the film from the shelf and places it in the temporary storage warehouse, and the V15T forklift AGV transports it to the loading station and automatically unloads the material, reducing labor costs and labor intensity.
Core technology points
1. Combination of laser navigation and visual navigation
Ensure that the AGV can be accurately positioned and flexibly avoid obstacles in the complex workshop environment, and can quickly adjust the path even in the face of dynamic obstacles, ensuring safe and efficient transportation.
2. Dispatching control of different vehicle models
Real-time monitoring of the operation status, location information and task progress of multiple AGVs, and dynamic adjustment of scheduling strategies through intelligent algorithms to achieve collaborative operation between AGVs, effectively avoid traffic congestion and task conflicts, and maximize logistics efficiency.
Benefits
1、人力成本下降 75%
The original position of 8 forklift operators was reduced to 2 maintenance personnel, and labor costs were reduced by 75%; Improved film storage accuracy has resulted in a jump in warehouse space utilization from 60 percent to 85 percent and a 40 percent reduction in inventory management costs.
2. The overall production efficiency of the enterprise has increased by about 35%
The average film transport and turnaround time has been reduced from 30 minutes to 8 minutes, the production process connection efficiency has increased by 60%, and the overall production efficiency of the enterprise has increased by about 35%. Precise "first-in, first-out" management reduces film expiration waste by 80%.
In the digital factory solution cooperated by 20 leading rubber enterprises, through the introduction of AGV and AIDT digital twin platform solutions in the process of mixing-half parts-molding-vulcanization-finished products-automatic loading and delivery, the problems existing in the industry such as increased labor costs, difficulty in recruiting workers, and low information level have been solved, and the whole process automation, full-field informatization, and full-logistics intelligent connection of the enterprise have been realized.
