Inter-process transfer: robots now cover 31 km a day

Five HG-M600 robots took over the cart runs between receiving, inspection, storage, and packing. They now cover the 31 km a day that people used to walk.

The problem, and the fix.

  1. Problem

    Pushing carts between processes took a lot of people. At peak hours, carts ran late and packing stations sat waiting for material.

    Rack layouts changed with the seasons, so equipment that needs fixed tracks in the floor was not an option.

  2. Solution

    Five HG-M600 robots carry lift modules, so each one slips under a cart and moves the whole cart. The center was mapped by laser with no floor work, and when racks move, only the map changes.

    Hangyeol Studio assigns transfer jobs across the five robots and sends them to the charging docks between jobs when batteries run low. Where aisles cross, robots pass one at a time.

  3. Result

    The robots make 420 transfers a day and cover the 31 km people used to walk. Packing-station wait time for material fell from 12 minutes to 4, and the people who pushed carts now work in inspection and packing.
