In the field of new energy auto parts manufacturing, efficient and accurate process logistics is the core lifeblood to ensure production capacity and quality. The Qingdao factory of Telai has joined hands with AGV Robotics to create a full-process automated handling system from raw material warehousing to finished products through customized AGV solutions, successfully solving the problem of multi-process collaboration and setting a new benchmark for intelligent manufacturing.
Customer needs
The company's Qingdao plant faced three core challenges in metalworking workshops and warehousing and logistics:
- Low process connection efficiency:
The bending, deburring, welding and other processes in the metalworking workshop rely on manual forklifts for transfer, and the material waiting time is long, and the handling time of a single batch exceeds 30 minutes, which restricts the rhythm of the production line;
- Complex cross-scenario handling:
The distribution of raw materials from the warehouse to the production line needs to be switched frequently, and the manual traction of multi-material vehicles is prone to confusion in the distribution sequence; After the finished product is off the assembly line, it needs to be stored across floors, and it is difficult to dispatch elevator transportation, and there are potential safety hazards in manual operation;
- High Labor Costs:
Traditional handling is labor-intensive and susceptible to human factors, with a material damage rate of 1.2%, and significant quality control pressure.
The factory urgently needs a set of automated handling solutions covering the whole chain of "raw material distribution, process flow, and finished product warehousing" to achieve accurate and efficient flow of multiple types of materials in complex scenarios.
Solution
The project constructs a three-dimensional handling matrix of "stacker forklift AGV traction AGV heavy-duty forklift AGV":
1、金工车间:
Deploy a 2-ton front outrigger stacker AGV to realize the handling from bending to deburring to welding;
2、原料配送环节:
Through the traction AGV, the raw material distribution and handling from the warehouse to the production line is realized, and a variety of materials are pulled at one time and go to each production line point in turn, and the empty car returns after being manually removed
3、成品跨楼层入库:
After the V15T forklift AGV forklifts the pallet in the finished product off-line area, it automatically calls the elevator and completes the cross-floor transportation through the API docking with the elevator control system. After arriving at the three-dimensional warehouse, the AGV accurately places the finished product on the designated shelf according to the WMS location instructions, without manual intervention in the whole process, which solves the problem of scheduling blind spots in the cross-floor operation of traditional forklifts.
Core technology
1、多机协同调度系统
The self-developed AGV scheduling platform integrates the "Dynamic Path Planning Task Priority Algorithm", collects 200 data points (including equipment status, material location, and elevator usage) in real time, and dynamically optimizes 20 operation routes through the ant colony algorithm to ensure that multiple AGVs have zero collision and no congestion in the 3,000 square meter workshop, and the equipment utilization rate is increased to 92%.
2、系统深度集成能力
Open up MES, WMS, and elevator control systems to achieve real-time synchronization of "production planning, logistics execution, and warehousing data". AGV operation status and material location information can be monitored in real time on the central control screen of the factory, and sound and light alarms can be automatically triggered and work orders are generated in abnormal situations, so as to build a transparent logistics management system.
The effect is reflected
1、Operational efficiency has grown by leaps and bounds
Time cost: the handling efficiency of the metalworking process has been increased by 73%, the raw material distribution cycle has been shortened by 55%, and the storage time of finished products has been reduced from 45 minutes to 12 minutes;
Manpower optimization: The number of personnel in handling positions has been reduced by 60%, and the released manpower has been shifted to high-value links such as quality inspection and equipment operation and maintenance.
Quality control: The material damage rate was reduced to 0.3%, the number of material outages between processes was reduced by 80%, and the comprehensive utilization rate of the production line was increased by 18%.
2、智能化管理深度赋能
Through the AGV data center, the factory realizes the whole process traceability of the logistics link, and each material order can be accurately tracked to the handling equipment, operation time, and path node, providing data support for lean production.
