Case Study on the Introduction of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) by Tsumura Co., Ltd.

Evaluation of custom support including peripheral devices! Automation of the manufacturing process improves safety, quality, and productivity.

We would like to introduce a case where our "Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV)" was implemented at Tsumura Co., Ltd. Transporting containers weighing 175 kg with a caster is physically burdensome for workers, making it a high-load process. We wanted to pursue mechanization and automation to improve production efficiency. After implementation, processes such as granule filling, container exchange, and transportation were fully automated, enhancing safety and helping to prevent human errors. 【Case Overview】 ■ Challenges - Transporting containers weighing 175 kg with a caster is physically demanding. - Container exchange and transportation need to be repeated every 20 minutes. ■ Effects After Implementation - Automation resulted in a reduction of labor equivalent to two personnel per line. - Increased efficiency led to an annual production increase of 45 tons. - All processes, including granule filling, container exchange, and transportation, were automated. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
