Production and assembly line automation | Streamlining transportation through optimal selection of AGVs and AMRs.
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.

basic information
【Specific Functions and Features】 - Advanced differentiation between stable operation using magnetic tape (AGV) and autonomous avoidance using sensors (AMR) - Traffic control and flow design for people and vehicles tailored to fixed and variable transport routes - Standardization of handover positions and advanced collaborative design with upstream and downstream processes, including calling rules - Virtual trial runs using 3D simulations to prevent on-site troubles before they occur 1. System design capability that captures "surfaces" rather than just "points" Consistent design from standardization of handover positions to organizing flow with people and carts, rather than merely pursuing the performance of individual equipment. By optimizing connections with upstream and downstream processes, we realize a transport system that "truly operates" on-site. 2. Hybrid selection eye for AGV and AMR Proposing methods that optimize the balance of cost and objectives based on the degree of route fixation and the variability of the site. It is possible to create a line configuration that leverages the strengths of stable-running AGVs and adaptable AMRs. 3. "Completion-type" project management that does not abandon until mass production stability Not just delivering equipment and finishing, but accompanying the establishment of traffic control rules on-site, fine-tuning in real work, and integrating operations for workers. We thoroughly accompany the site until the customer's mass production stabilizes, ensuring the project is completed.
