Palletizing mixed cartons

Customer demand

Dieser Kunde betreibt ein Logistikzentrum, in dem eine Vielzahl von willkürlich gestapelten Kartons unterschiedlicher Größe auf Paletten platziert werden müssen. Die Oberflächen der Kartons sind kompliziert (gemustert, strukturiert usw.) und uneben, gleichzeitig sind die Anforderung an die Palettiergeschwindigkeit sehr hoch.

Challenges

• Unterschiedliche Stapelstrategien müssen angewendet werden
• Beengte Platzverhältnisse
• Kamerahalterungen befinden sich im Bewegungsraum des Roboters

The Mech-Mind Solution

The 3D vision system captures the specifications and quantities of the cartons in advance, the intelligent palletizing algorithm plans the optimal stacking pattern (stable and space-saving) and outputs the sequence of incoming cartons. Then, the robots are guided to pick up multiple boxes at the same time.

• Intelligently plans the optimal stacking of pallets according to order information;
• 3D vision-guided robots can build a stable pallet by loading cartons in alternative order to avoid collapse during transportation;
• Intelligent multi-grip strategy enables high efficiency in building up mixed pallets;
• Mech-Mind 3D vision system can store pallet patterns, allowing robots to continue partially stacked pallets;
• Intelligent collision detection and trajectory planning automatically calculate the optimal trajectory and entry angle for the robots, ensuring stable operation in compact spaces. Since the holding devices for the 3D cameras are located in the robot's movement space, reliable path planning is even more important for trouble-free operation.

Results

The automated workstation can be operated stably and with high efficiency without human interaction, resulting in significant cost savings.
