How Can Handling Robots Optimise Logistics and Warehousing? AS15 Handling Robot Solutions for the New Energy Industry

Suzhou Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. is a listed company with outstanding achievements in the research, development, design, processing, and sales of functional devices for electronic products, optical thin film devices, and automotive power battery insulation series products.

With the development of the business, the enterprise faces the following problems in intralogistics warehousing:

1. Pressure on space utilisation: Although the double shelf design can improve storage density, the slippery and uneven ground challenges maximising space utilisation.

2. High frequency of handling: Narrow corridors and frequent handling tasks lead to overloading of equipment, affecting overall efficiency.

3. Cost-benefit balance: The customer required fast and accurate pickups, as well as effective coordination of labour and automated equipment.

Project Highlights

The AS1520 handling robot and its integrated software system were introduced to address the above challenges.

1. Transit area picking optimisation:

• Automated sorting and picking with path optimisation was achieved with the AiTEN AS1520 robot and its integrated software system.

2. Customised goods placement solutions:

• The AS1520 robot identifies the exact location of goods, solves problems such as inconsistent shelf heights, and optimises space usage.
• Non-slip rollers ensure reliable performance even on challenging surfaces.

3. Cluster scheduling and multi-machine co-operation:

• The cluster scheduling system allows multiple AS1520 units to work together seamlessly to improve operational efficiency in tight spaces.

4. Full automation from inbound to outbound:

• The AS1520 automates the entire process from the warehouse to the outbound staging area, minimising the need for manual intervention.

5. Accurate point release:

• Advanced point detection technology ensures that goods are accurately stored and transported according to a precise plan, thereby improving overall efficiency.

Results and Benefits

• Improved Space Utilisation: 35% improvement in space utilisation through the double shelf design and precision placement capabilities of the AS1520.

• Improved handling efficiency: Cluster scheduling system enables multiple AS1520 units to work together efficiently in long, narrow aisles, increasing handling efficiency by 30%.
• Reduced Costs: Fully automated inbound to outbound process reduces manual intervention and lowers costs by 25%.
• Improved accuracy: Advanced point detection technology ensures goods are stored and transported accurately, reducing error rates and achieving 99.9% accuracy.

Conclusion

The successful application of the AS1520 handling robot in this project demonstrates its significant benefits in terms of improved space utilisation, handling efficiency and cost effectiveness. Through automation and intelligent solutions, the AS1520 not only meets the customer's needs, but also sets a benchmark for future warehousing and logistics operations in the automotive and electronics industries.
