Mobile robot for process optimisation at WAGO
Ideal positioning for the future with the Jungheinrich SOTO
WAGO relies on mobile robot SOTO in its in-house production. The automated container handling system impresses with its efficiency and enhances value-adding activities. Following a successful pilot project with one vehicle, four robots are now in use and transport small load carriers autonomously.
Challenges
- Design of a logistics solution for the automation of material supply between production and manufacturing
- Autonomous supply of injection moulding machines with small load carriers (SLC) by autonomous mobile robots (AMRs)
- Smooth integration of the mobile robot into the existing production environment
- Training of employees to work smoothly with the SOTO system in mixed operations
Solutions
- Provision of a future-proof end-to-end automation solution for the production environment
- Autonomous mobile robots SOTO with adaptive gripper technology for efficient small load carrier transportation
- Double-deep transport system with customisable compartments and capacity for 8-24 SLCs per SOTO robot
- Lithium-ion technology with fast-charging capability to ensure maximum availability
Successes
- Successful pilot phase of the SOTO system in production as a basis for further automation projects
- Significant increase in efficiency and process reliability through the use of the Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR)
- Scaling from 1 to 4 vehicles - thanks to the standardised VDA 5050 interface, the overall solution can be easily expanded to include additional automated vehicles in the future
- Inspiring collaboration between Wago, Jungheinrich and the subsidiary company Magazino
