Logistics automation enters the era of "integrated control" | Factory optimization from the perspective of Mujin and Exotec.

Optimize the line through the automation of inter-process transportation. Achieve zero delays and establish a stable mass production system.

- We want to automate and reduce the manpower required for inter-process transportation. - We want to establish a line that safely and quickly transports heavy and large workpieces. - We want to stabilize the takt time of the production line and improve the operating rate. - We want to reduce work-in-progress (WIP) and make the most efficient use of factory space. - We need a flexible transport system that can accommodate small lot production of various types. Due to labor shortages and a decrease in skilled workers, reliance on manual "inter-process transportation" has become a bottleneck in production lines, leading to unstable takt times. We aim to solve this issue. Our company goes beyond mere equipment manufacturing; we highly integrate robots, image processing, and conveyors to build a smooth automation line without bottlenecks as a "full turnkey" solution. 【Benefits of Implementation】 By automating transportation, we reduce work-in-progress (WIP) and eliminate variations in quality. With a support system that ensures we "don't abandon the process" from design to on-site installation and fine-tuning with actual workpieces, we promise a reliable return on investment. Please feel free to consult us about any technical challenges from the conceptual stage of automation.

Integrate the most suitable conveyor for the project. Ensure stable mass production with an automated line that has no bottlenecks.

We will solve the issue of unstable production caused by bottlenecks in "transportation" between processes due to labor shortages and variations in takt time. Our company goes beyond merely providing transport equipment; we select the optimal means from conveyors, gantries, AGVs/AMRs, and construct a fully turnkey "non-stop line" that is highly integrated with robots, image processing, and control systems. - We want to automate and reduce labor in "inter-process transportation" on the production line. - We want to build a line that safely and reliably transports heavy and large workpieces. - We want to reduce work-in-progress (WIP) between processes and optimize the flow of production. - We want to integrate the control of robots, image processing, and transport equipment as a whole. - We want support not only for equipment installation but also for stabilizing mass production on-site. 【Benefits of Implementation】 By automating and optimizing transportation, we reduce work-in-progress (WIP) and make the most of factory space. We ensure that the designed takt time is achieved reliably, minimizing the risk of delays in mass production startup. Please feel free to consult us about any technical issues from the conceptual stage of automation.

Optimize "transportation," which is more difficult than robots. Ensure stable mass production on a line without delays.

- We want to automate and reduce manpower for "inter-process transportation" on the production line. - We want to safely and reliably transport large and heavy workpieces at high speed. - We want to eliminate variations in takt time and improve equipment utilization rates. - We want to thoroughly eliminate the risk of issues after implementation through 3D simulation. - We want to entrust everything from specification consideration to installation and mass production completion as a turnkey solution. Due to labor shortages and the increasing weight of workpieces, "transportation" between processes has become a bottleneck, preventing us from achieving our target takt time. We address this challenge not just by manufacturing equipment, but by providing integration that prevents backtracking on-site through "transportation design" utilizing 3D simulation, ensuring we see the project through to mass production. 【Benefits of Implementation】 By automating transportation, we reduce work-in-progress and stabilize quality. Our involvement does not end with equipment delivery; we absorb on-site work discrepancies and work alongside the site until mass production stabilizes, ensuring project completion. Please consult us comprehensively about line construction starting from transportation.

Optimize the manufacturing line starting from transportation. Achieve a balance between small-lot production of various types and stable operation, while reducing the burden on the site.

We will solve challenges such as severe labor shortages, the shift to small-batch production of various types, and the effective utilization of limited factory space. Our company views "transportation" not just as a means of movement but as a core element that influences the overall design philosophy of the line. We propose a next-generation transportation system that emphasizes stability and "operability" on-site, rather than merely accelerating speed. - We want to eliminate labor shortages and automate and reduce personnel in our production lines. - We need a line that can flexibly accommodate both small-batch production of various types and mass production. - We want to effectively utilize limited factory space and arrange robots in a high-density manner. - We need a transportation system that is easy to recover from troubles and user-friendly on-site. - We want to review transportation design and stabilize the overall tact time of the line. 【Benefits of Implementation】 By stabilizing transportation, we minimize downtime such as workpiece drops. We will build a flexible manufacturing line that can accommodate both mass production and small-batch production of various types, providing a return on investment that ensures future scalability. Please feel free to consult us about optimizing the entire line starting from the transportation aspect, even in the planning stages.

Differentiate between AGV and AMR based on site characteristics. Automate inter-process transportation to achieve a manufacturing line without delays.

We will solve the issue of insufficient manpower causing inter-process transportation to become a bottleneck, which prevents the production line's operating rate from increasing. Our company will not simply introduce equipment; instead, we will optimally select between a reproducibility-focused AGV or a highly flexible AMR based on the constraints of the site (such as the frequency of layout changes and stability of takt time), and we will build a manufacturing line that prioritizes actual operation. - We want to automate and reduce manpower in inter-process transportation on the production line. - We would like to determine whether AGV or AMR is more suitable for our manufacturing site. - We want to create an assembly line that can handle a wide variety of low-volume production and is resilient to layout changes. - We want to standardize the handover positions and postures during transportation to enhance the overall accuracy of the line. - We want to entrust not only the equipment installation but also the establishment of traffic rules on-site and the overall operation. 【Benefits of Implementation】 By automating transportation, we will significantly reduce the labor involved in moving items and achieve stabilization of takt time. Through a design that is not just for standalone equipment but "works for the entire site," we will minimize the risk of modifications after startup and provide a reliable return on investment. If you are struggling with the automation and reduction of manpower in transportation, please feel free to consult us from the conceptual stage.

In a civil engineering site material yard, not only is material storage conducted, but also the frequent movement of trucks and heavy machinery, unloading, and the movement of workers. On unpaved ground, mud and ruts can occur due to rain, which may reduce work efficiency. Hyper CLT mats are civil engineering CLT materials that utilize wood CLT. By laying them in material yards or storage areas, a work space that facilitates the movement of vehicles and heavy machinery can be established while protecting the ground. They can be laid only in necessary locations, and relocation or repurposing in accordance with construction progress is also possible. The 5×10 panel weighs approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 panel weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery. After use, they can also be utilized as temporary roads, access routes, or heavy machinery work yards. Additionally, they offer unique benefits of wood, such as glare reduction, noise suppression, and CO2 fixation. As a registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS "TH-250021-A," these wooden mats can also be used for environmental improvement in material yards and innovative public works.
