Automat­ing pro­duc­tion logis­tics is a key fac­tor for Euro­pean man­u­fac­tur­ers in the con­sumer goods sec­tor to remain competitive.

Opti­mize the mate­r­ial flow in your pro­duc­tion now with the intel­li­gent autonomous mobile robot SOTO and ben­e­fit from a true end-to-end logis­tics process.

Reg­u­lar line con­ver­sions are the order of the day. This requires a high degree of flex­i­bil­ity in pro­duc­tion. The high vari­ance of parts requires more mate­r­ial and thus more trans­ports of small load car­ri­ers (totes / KLTs).

How­ever, often there is not enough space in con­fined areas to pro­vide mate­r­ial at the assem­bly line. The autonomous logis­tics robot SOTO offers you the oppor­tu­nity to reduce inven­to­ries on the line and ergonom­i­cally pro­vide mate­r­ial at dif­fer­ent heights and ori­en­ta­tions at the assem­bly work­sta­tion. Rely on this smart solu­tion and con­fi­dently meet the chal­lenges of intralogistics:

High labor costs

Process opti­miza­tion and invest­ments in automa­tion con­tinue to be the answers to ris­ing labor costs. This will ensure the company’s prof­itabil­ity in the future.

Skills short­age

Demo­graphic change is exac­er­bat­ing the short­age of skilled work­ers. Pro­duc­tion processes that require a wide range of skills and qual­i­fi­ca­tions are par­tic­u­larly affected.

Ergonom­ics

In shift work, the phys­i­cal stresses quickly add up. This is an essen­tial fac­tor for employee sat­is­fac­tion. Mate­r­ial automa­tion par­al­lel to humans offers a rem­edy here.

Per­son­nel planning

Flex­i­ble work and pro­duc­tion mod­els require a great deal of plan­ning. Intel­li­gent automa­tion offers the nec­es­sary flex­i­bil­ity. For exam­ple, for shift work, dur­ing peri­ods of high sick­ness rates, or when intro­duc­ing new products.

Autonomous Mate­r­ial Sup­ply Between Ware­house and Pro­duc­tion Line

Totes up to 20 kg

Dif­fer­ent sizes and weights

SOTO moves your mate­ri­als with­out tir­ing. Totes / KLTs can weigh up to 20 kg. In total, SOTO can trans­port up to 250 kg. The KLT sizes may vary. SOTO can pick up or drop off the KLTs on three sides: left, right, and front.

Tote Han­dling

Flex­i­ble grip­ping mech­a­nism and vari­able trans­fer height

SOTO has a rotat­able grip­per and can inter­act flex­i­bly even with pas­sive trans­fer sta­tions. It is capa­ble of rotat­ing KLTs by 90° or 180° and pick­ing them up and deliv­er­ing them both length­wise and short-side. The trans­fer height is infi­nitely vari­able between 40 and 170 cm above the floor.

Back­pack

High trans­port capacity

With its dou­ble-spaced inter­nal rack, SOTO can trans­port between 8 and 24 KLT con­tain­ers at the same time, depend­ing on the con­tainer sizes.

SOTO Dis­play

Direct and fast assistance

Thanks to the abil­ity to com­mu­ni­cate with the user via inte­grated dis­plays, even col­leagues with no prior knowl­edge of robot­ics can eas­ily trou­bleshoot robot mal­func­tions. Spe­cific instruc­tions on the dis­play help to get oper­a­tions back up and run­ning quickly.

Individual solutions for new logistics processes.
Analy­sis

The first step is to find out whether our robots are suit­able for automat­ing your pro­duc­tion logistics.

Spec­i­fi­ca­tion

How should the robot be inte­grated into the cus­tomer process? What hur­dles are there, what adjust­ments need to be made? Together we work out the solution. 

Inte­gra­tion

After detailed plan­ning, the inte­gra­tion takes place on site. Here, final adjust­ments are made to the real envi­ron­ment so that robots and processes run easily.

Scal­ing

Once set up, the robot fleet can be expanded into the exist­ing processes and IT, in a flex­i­ble way, accord­ing to demand and achiev­ing econ­omy of scale.
