Automotive Industry's Intralogistics Breakthrough! Automated Handling Saves 50% Costs

Wuhu branch of a Chinese logistics company is a modern professional automotive logistics enterprise, the company is committed to providing efficient and accurate logistics services. With the expansion of the enterprise's automobile production scale, the traditional logistics mode is facing low efficiency, high labour cost, sloppy management and other problems. For this reason, the customer hopes to reduce manual reliance, improve logistics accuracy and optimise on-site management by introducing automated logistics handling technology.

After receiving the enterprise's demand, AiTEN, after a detailed site survey, took AiTEN's star product ‘light and small handling robot APe15’ as the core, and purchased a total of 3 sets of APe15 handling robots, supplemented with RDS intelligent scheduling system and LMS warehouse management system, to achieve the whole process of automated handling, from the issuance of the task to the execution of the task.

Project Innovation Points

• Human-robot integration design: The APe15 robot supports intelligent following and manual switching to fully meet the handling needs in complex environments.‍
• Intelligent Scheduling and Path Optimisation: The RDS system realises multi-machine collaboration and dynamic path planning through cloud computing and big data technology, improving overall efficiency.
• Full Process Automation: From task issuance to execution, unmanned handling can be realised, reducing manual intervention and improving operational accuracy.
• Data-driven management: The LMS system realises the whole process of tracking and management of material data, providing support for intelligent decision-making.

Project Benefits

Through the implementation of this project, the automotive enterprise has achieved the following significant results:

• Labour input: directly reduce at least 6 porters, reducing labour costs.
• Data value: Realise the material data of the production process, and the accuracy rate of distribution reaches 99%.
• On-site management: from disorderly to neat and orderly, no accumulation of blocking phenomenon.
• Efficiency Improvement: Increase operational efficiency by more than 40%.
• Economic benefits: save labour and management costs by 50%.

Summary

The successful implementation of this project not only demonstrates AiTEN's professional strength and innovation ability in the field of automated logistics but also further proves the importance and application value of automated logistics handling in the modern automotive manufacturing industry. Through the introduction of the APe15 handling robot and intelligent scheduling system, the customer has achieved significant improvement in logistics efficiency, a significant reduction in costs and comprehensive optimisation of site management, setting up a benchmark case of intelligent transformation for the industry.

In the future, with the continuous development of intelligent logistics technology, AiTEN will continue to plough into the field of automobile manufacturing and help more enterprises achieve efficient and intelligent logistics automation upgrades.
