SK AX introduced on Nov. 11 that it has efficiently carried out logistics automation by synthetic intelligence transformation (AX) at a world automotive components plant in North America.
The venture was carried out to stably management more and more complicated logistics flows attributable to diversified orders from automaker purchasers and rising inter-process logistics quantity. SK AX established an AX logistics system that routinely connects the complete manufacturing course of, bettering each operational stability and productiveness of the plant.
To automate all logistics processes from transferring semi-finished merchandise to transport completed items, SK AX deployed autonomous cellular robots (AMRs) and autonomous forklifts (AFRs), enabling operations with out human intervention. The robots are geared up with simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) know-how, permitting them to establish their positions and transfer alongside optimum routes even indoors the place GPS indicators are unavailable. They construct inside manufacturing facility maps utilizing mounted buildings resembling partitions, enabling clean operation even when the positions of movable cabinets or cargo change. By means of this, a self-cooperative atmosphere was established during which a number of robots share location info with one another, carry out duties concurrently, and keep away from collisions.
SK AX additionally launched a man-made intelligence (AI)-based logistics info system (MCS) and an AMR management system (ACS) that integratively management the complete manufacturing facility’s logistics movement. These techniques analyze, in actual time, components resembling production-line operation standing, stock places, and robotic motion situations to allocate essentially the most environment friendly logistics routes. Even when sudden manufacturing fluctuations happen in a particular course of, AI instantly adjusts logistics enter quantity and sequencing to eradicate pointless ready instances and course of delays.
One other power is that the logistics info system was particularly designed for automotive components manufacturing crops. It employs a devoted structure modeled to match precise manufacturing strains from semi-finished product processing to meeting and finished-product cargo. Constructed with a graphical person interface (GUI), the system permits on-site employees to examine manufacturing gear, AGV standing, and stock info in actual time.
