Process Overview

This case study features a large, cylindrical raw-material transport solution using OMRON AMRs. Previously, raw-material transport was handled manually, with operators physically rolling large cylindrical containers to move them. Due to operator fatigue and low handling efficiency in this workflow, an automation solution became necessary.

In this project, OMRON AMRs were introduced to automate raw-material transport, with the goal of reducing operator burden and significantly improving material-handling efficiency.

Project Background and Objectives

When raw materials arrived inbound in large containers, the manual transport process required high physical effort and carried a risk of injury. In addition, time loss and workload imbalance led to reduced productivity.

The objective of this project is to address these issues by deploying an AMR-based automation solution and realizing more efficient internal logistics operations.

구성요소

로봇	OMRON AMR logistics robot: An AMR solution suitable for high-payload raw-material transport, maximizing stability and operational efficiency.
주변기기	U-shaped top module: A custom U-shaped top module mounted on the AMR to securely carry and transport cylindrical loads, enabling safe and stable transport operations.

작업순서

STEP 1.	The AMR docks with inbound raw materials, safely loads them onto the U-shaped top module, and initiates transport
STEP 2.	Through AMR–automatic door integration, it passes through high-speed doors smoothly without manual operation
STEP 3.	The AMR interfaces with the elevator system to perform inter-floor transport
STEP 4.	The AMR safely places raw materials at the designated drop-off location.

특장점

Key Features

Safety and obstacle-avoidance system: The OMRON AMR is equipped with a rear ultrasonic sensor, front bumper, safety laser scanner, and low front laser sensor. These functions strengthen obstacle avoidance and improve safe navigation.
Site-specific AMR top module and station design: Customized top modules and stations for high-payload transport were provided and designed to meet a wide range of on-site requirements.

도입효과

주요지표	Improved operational efficiency: By using the AMR to transport inbound raw materials, transport time was reduced and productivity improved. Enhanced safety: Because operators no longer move heavy raw materials directly, the risk of injury decreased and safety significantly improved. Lower operating cost: By reducing dependence on manual labor and automating transport tasks, internal logistics operating costs were reduced.
도입기업 피드백	The customer stated that AMR-based automation allowed operators to move away from physically demanding transport tasks and focus on higher-priority processes, and that the site became both safer and more efficient, expressing high satisfaction with the deployment.
