#Autonomous Mobile Robots in a Warehouse

[joyandella-123]

Cameras bring help in many different manufacturing areas, in many ways

My friends in England like to point out, “There are cameras everywhere!” And it is true. What they mean is that cameras for speeders on roadways (a highly unpopular use of the technology that seems to be catching on in the larger U.S. cities), and the ubiquitous security cameras (and not just in London) are everywhere.

We are experiencing something similar in fabricating—really, in most types of discrete manufacturing. (Discrete, as opposed to process, manufacturing has an end product that is a thing, an object made of solid materials.)

Yes, cameras are invading our turf and our machines. The turf invasion started with security cameras, some on the loading dock, some above the shop floor. Now some of the cameras have a roving life on our turf. Their mission is not security but navigation, assisting products like AMRs (autonomous mobile robots) as they go through our shops, warehouses, and shipping departments.

The cameras that are in or on our machines have multiple purposes. In many cases, there are as many cameras as there are purposes on some of the more robust machines. What are some of these purposes? Let’s make a list:

Monitoring. The camera is there to help “keep an eye on things.” Often, this function monitors the proper overall operation of a machine, say, a laser cutter. If the operator or a supervisor has the image of a stopped device, and that device is only halfway through its work, then something is wrong and someone needs to check it out.

State recognition. Robotic and/or autonomous welding systems use color to figure out the welding temperature of a given metal. Or, a camera might measure the amount of light coming through a component to know if it’s time to replace that component. Shape is another attribute that can change over the lifetime of a consumable system.

Augmented reality. This has shown practical use in lasers. The application that is most shown is the one where someone throws a piece of scrap steel onto the cutting bed without aligning straight edges to the side. Although that piece is plopped carelessly, the camera will spot the straight edges and take those into consideration when figuring out a nest or a path to the part. The entire cut job will be moved eight degrees (or whatever the angle is).

Machine controllers. Here is a new and interesting entry for employing cameras in a shop. A camera with the right software can do facial recognition! We already store operator profiles, and in doing so we typically save the most complex work for the most experienced hands. Those with higher skills get to utilize more of the functions of the advanced machine. Now, we can use facial recognition to automatically change the profile when a different, say, press brake operator strolls up to the machine. All the rights and restrictions are put into place upon recognition, and all the data produced will be appended to that operator’s database of work.

My English friends are spot on.

MIWA Robotics - The World’s Leading Automated Guided Vehicle Manufacturers

MIWA Robotics is the world’s leading tech company specializing in logistics robot intelligent systems. With its partner-Mushiny AI, we have businesses in more than 20 developed countries and regions.  We have shipped over 3000 AGV/AMRs since establishment.  Our Goods-to-Person AGV/AMR solution was developed by our key founders of the company, most of whom are former Amazonians.  

AGV solutions are the way of the future when it comes to the supply line. Not only in storage, but also with management and distribution. Robotics have taken the world by storm and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) have become incredibly popular in the way we manage our warehouses.

6 Reasons to implement a warehouse AGV

1. Flexible loading options

AGVs can adapt to the size and makeup of your packages or parcels. They are highly customizable and updatable. This includes the weight they can withstand as well as size and configuration.

2. Cleaner and quieter

AGVs require less maintenance and produce less noise pollution. They are extremely clean and quiet. One of their most important features is that, since they can operate independently, you can program them to work in off-hours. This last feature gives you greater control over noise contamination and how it affects your workforce.

3. Easy to install

Like most of its family members, drones, robotic vacuum cleaners, and all those AI-supplemented tools, AGV warehouse systems are incredibly easy to install, configure, and modify. They are adaptable to any space and can be updated to meet new challenges and growth issues.

4. Sleek and more lean

You will no longer have to deal with conveyor belts that are static and partly cemented into space. AGVs give your warehouse an open design that you can take advantage of. Automated Guided Vehicles are programmed to return to their charging station when necessary, usually scheduled during downtime in operations. Their road, the highway they use during hours of operation, is cleared whenever you need it.

5. Lower staff cost

Your overhead, when it comes to training and retaining, suddenly decreases. You no longer need a huge workforce to manually pick and pack items or transport and sort them. AGVs are a great investment that pays dividends for years to come.

6. More efficient, safer

AGVs are robots – they are guided by smart technology and constantly update algorithms. Today’s automated guided vehicles have cameras, WiFi connectivity, collision sensor, laser-guided mechanism, and dozens of other tools that reduce the possibility of safety violations. They are human error-proof.

Why You Need AGVs

All warehouses can benefit from AGVs – either on a grand scale or on a much lower one. They help maintain your competitive edge and adapt rapidly to challenges. They are a one-time investment that gives your team greater leeway when it comes to the things they can do and the contracts they can take. We can also offer leasing options if it suits your operations better. MIWA Robotics partners with multiple AGV vendors to provide you units that meet your unique requirements. Contact us today to learn how AGVs might benefit your business.
