Challenge
The global snack industry has long been a focal point, but with growing market demand and increasing competition, a snack production factory faced the challenge of boosting production efficiency and optimizing internal logistics. To maintain a leading position in the competitive market, they urgently needed to find effective solutions.
Solution
To improve production efficiency and reduce costs, the factory purchased four Big Dog transport robots to enhance material handling efficiency and production line flexibility. By saving time in transporting materials between the production line and the warehouse, production efficiency was significantly improved.
Implementation Process
Before the project commenced, we conducted a detailed needs analysis and discussion with the factory’s management. We thoroughly inspected the production workshop environment, including reviewing the company’s layout map and conducting on-site visits. After learning that the client needed to transport materials across different floors, we added an elevator control module to meet their needs, enabling the AMR robots to autonomously navigate elevators.
During the robot deployment phase, our technicians provided online guidance via video, swiftly completing the deployment process. Throughout this period, we maintained close communication with the management to ensure every step met their expectations.
Results and Benefits
With our solution, the snack factory successfully addressed issues of low production efficiency and optimized internal logistics with the help of AMR transport robots, achieving remarkable results.
The Role of Big Dog Transport Robots on the Production Line:
1. Raw Material Handling:Big Dog transport robots are configured to automatically transport various raw materials, such as potatoes, peanuts, and corn, from the warehouse to different workstations on the production line.
2. Semi-finished Product Handling: The robots are also responsible for transferring semi-finished products from one work area to another, ensuring continuity and efficiency in the production process.
3. Finished Product Packaging:After production, the robots transport finished products to the manual packaging area.
Big Dog transport robots operate around the clock in a three-shift system, covering eight types of loops, with an average loop length of 120 meters. During one shift, the robots travel an average of 5.5-6 kilometers. Currently, Big Dog transport robots can perform transport work for 12 hours a day in three shifts.
The introduction of transport robots has led to significant improvements: material handling efficiency increased by 15%, production cycles were greatly shortened, and production line flexibility was significantly enhanced, allowing for quicker adaptation to order changes and new product launches. Warehouse workers particularly appreciate the advantages of Big Dog transport robots, finding them very easy to operate with their user-friendly display interfaces.
