[Data Presentation] Task-oriented mobile robot 'NEXTAGE Mobile'

Achieving autonomous operation of an all-in-one dual-arm robot. Compact and compatible with aisles 80 cm wide.

"NEXTAGE Mobile" is a mobile robot that enables autonomous movement of the humanoid robot NEXTAGE. While retaining the features of NEXTAGE, it allows for tasks that involve moving between multiple locations and assisting with processes like water strider operations, further expanding its areas of application. When a person approaches within a certain distance, it slows down and stops, and automatically resumes when the person moves away, thereby reducing the risk of accidents and injuries due to collisions. [Features] - Integration of the all-in-one robot NEXTAGE, equipped with dual arms and cameras, with an AGV - Adoption of a position identification method using a head-mounted camera, which is less affected by environmental factors - Ability to set movement and operations using the same software as NEXTAGE - Compact design that allows entry into narrow paths (compatible with a passage width of 80 cm) *For more details, please refer to the PDF document.

With the software version upgrade, NEXTAGE has newly added two features!

In October 2020, we released version 3.9 of the NEXTAGE dedicated software "NxProduction"! With this update, we are introducing two new features: "Conveyor Tracking" and "Integration with External Devices." 【New Feature 1】 Conveyor Tracking It is now possible to pick up workpieces flowing on a belt conveyor using image processing, without stopping the conveyor. 【New Feature 2】 Integration with External Devices It is now possible to operate and write to some functions of NxProduction from external devices. Previously, the NEXTAGE display and the touch panel for controlling peripheral devices had to be operated separately... However, from now on, it will be possible to operate everything with a single touch panel! NEXTAGE will continue to evolve. We hope that NEXTAGE can be of assistance in your factory as well. If you have any questions or inquiries about automation, please feel free to contact us!

We present a demo video of the humanoid robot "NEXTAGE" packaging tube products into bags and boxes.

In industries such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food products, the quantity and shape are frequently changed with each season, necessitating variable production. Before the introduction of 'NEXTAGE', automation was considered difficult. We will introduce a new form of automation achieved by adding a few clever modifications to the surrounding supply and discharge devices, in addition to the inherent dexterity of the humanoid robot 'NEXTAGE', through a video. ■ Work Process Align tube products stacked flat on a conveyor Load tube products into pouches Heat seal the pouches and pack the finished products into boxes For more details, please check the video below or feel free to contact us.

At construction sites, temporary parking lots may be established for workers and construction-related vehicles. On unpaved ground, mud and ruts can easily occur due to rain, which may hinder vehicle access. Hyper CLT mats are civil engineering materials that utilize wood CLT. By laying them in temporary parking lots, a suitable environment for vehicle passage and parking can be created while protecting the ground. They can be laid only in the necessary areas, and after the construction is completed, they can be removed and repurposed for temporary roads or access routes. The 5×10 panels weigh approximately 230 kg, and the 5×20 panels weigh about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to install and remove even with small machinery, allowing for changes in parking space. Additionally, they offer benefits unique to wood, such as glare reduction, noise reduction, and CO2 fixation. They are registered as a technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS as "TH-250021-A," and can be utilized for the development of temporary parking lots and innovative public works.

Metal cracks are one of the concerns in equipment maintenance operations. Conventional welding repair methods can change the base material around the crack due to heat, leading to residual stress and deformation, which always carries the risk of "crack recurrence" and "secondary damage." Hinode Water Supply Equipment Co., Ltd.'s "Mechanical Stitching Method" is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without applying heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, the crack is physically removed without affecting the base material at all. Repairs can be made even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
