Garment factory

We conducted a thorough inspection of the factory, production line, and operational grounds and analyzed the requirements of the ME team.

After conducting a thorough inspection of the factory, production line, and operational grounds, as well as understanding the customer’s requirements, we collaborated with the team to find the best-optimized solution and provide consultation.

We offered customers 2 robots (NextAMR), each capable of carrying a payload of 300kg. (total 16 working hours – 2 robots)/1 charge). NextAMR was designed to add a top module easily hooked into customer’s trolleys. 

NextAMR robots are designed to operate:

– The AMRs will operate on the predetermined path to traverse the production lines station (ordered) by scheduling time.

– 2 lock-pins for carrying trolleys from production lines to the next station (Dection room).

– Build a factory map offline (only required once).

– Record target parking slots (in storage and destinations in the production line).

– Auto-charge the AMRs at the low battery and resume tasks when sufficiently charged.

– AMR management system:

• Management services in the on-premise server.
• Visual planner for desired tasks.
• Permission grant hierarchy for user management
• Using a Wi-Fi network system

We also gave suggestions for customers to redesign and optimize the existing trolleys:

1. Reduce height of ground clearance: 31.5cm
2. Reduce width of ground clearance: 100±10cm
3. Set the maximum height of the crossbar to 20cm
4. Install a square box 4x4cm to optimize the detection of LIDAR

The path of robots will be in the production line. The AMR avoids or navigates around humans & obstacles, following industrial safety standards.

• Order processing: Prioritize and process orders among multiple robots.
• Traffic control: Coordinating key areas with multiple robot intersections.

The fleet management software is responsible for coordinating the appropriate robot to perform the task at each time, ensuring optimal efficiency. Easy-to-integrate and user-friendly management system and easy to train in the M&E department. During operation, the robot continuously updates the map layout. Operators can also easily redraw the map by controlling the representative robot to move around the facility or update new obstacles with just a few clicks.

Conduct 17 training sections on hardware and software (app management) of robots for M&E, IT, and Maintenance Department. We supported stabilization & training about operating robots and creating missions for the path. 

After-sales and go-live support: 

– Problem-solving for the customer: The USB port of Unipax_1 and the battery of robot Unipax_1 have failed to start. The customer’s technical team has contacted our customer service center for support. We defined the initial cause of user carelessness and hardware failure. We supported onsite to fix the issue by replacing another USB port and charging adapter. Additionally, we trained workers to control the robot manually.

– Remote support: The customer changed the wireless network configuration and requested to change the AMR mission. We accessed remotely to help them figure out, updated the wifi configuration, created a new AMR mission, and guided them step by step to change the mission if needed.
