3C Electronics Industry Case | Foxconn Technology Group US Factory Logistics Intelligent Upgrade Solution

2021-01-23

Project Background

Foxconn Technology Group is a high-tech enterprise of China Hon Hai Precision Group. It was established in Taipei City, Taiwan Province, China in 1974. It invested and built a factory in Shenzhen in 1988. It has established more than 30 science and technology industrial parks in Asia, America, Europe, etc. There are more than 200 subsidiaries and agencies in the region.

Foxconn is a high-tech group specializing in the production of 3C products and semiconductor equipment (the world's largest foundry manufacturer). It is the world's largest professional electronics manufacturer with more than 1.2 million employees and the world's top IT customer base.

The project is a new factory located in the United States, covering an area of about 10,000 square meters. Two of the production lines need to use AGV automated logistics equipment to move materials and finished products in the preparation area, production line, and test area. Faced with high labor costs and frequent logistics and transportation, I hope to find a set of intelligent logistics solutions to reduce labor costs, improve logistics efficiency, and build the factory into a model of a smart factory as a key link.
Customer pain points

There are many types of racks, and connectors need to be customized for adaptation;

The accuracy of the docking with the production line is extremely high, and it needs to be within +/-8mm;

The factory layout is complex and changeable, and needs to adapt to the dynamic and changeable site environment;

Side access to the development of new functions such as pick-up, production line PLC handshaking, and timing replenishment of materials;

The scheduling system is connected with the scheduling system, and the AGV needs to be scheduled for loading and unloading according to the production plan.

Solution

According to the actual needs of customers, a variety of connectors and new submerged AGVs have been customized to realize the connection between two AGVs and six types of material racks to complete the logistics and transportation tasks;

is equipped with the BSLAM autonomous navigation and positioning system, which allows the AGV to dynamically recognize the on-site environment in real time and achieve millimeter-level positioning accuracy in a complex environment;

Carry 4 BANS single-machine controllers to the existing latent and towed AGVs, with a set of BFMS multi-machine scheduling system, and pick and place at about 80 points, the cycle ranges from ten minutes to one day, And realize the functions of AGV mapping and positioning, safe obstacle avoidance, autonomous operation, path planning, task scheduling, traffic management, condition monitoring, and docking production lines.

Program advantage

There is no need to replace the existing material racks and site modification, which greatly reduces the cost of modification;

The deployment time is fast and does not affect the normal production of customers;

The layout of the factory is complex and changeable. The BSLAM system can adapt to the complex and changeable environment of the site and can be accurately positioned;

Seamless connection with WMS, MES system and production line PLC to help customers intelligentize and digitalize production management;

Customized development to meet the actual needs of customers on site.

Customer benefits

Reduce labor cost: 50% reduction, labor saving 4 people;

Improve production efficiency: the delivery rate is 100%;

Improve the level of automation: realize autonomous docking of production lines, and AGV autonomous loading and unloading;

Rapid deployment, highly flexible: no need to replace racks, renovate the site, reduce costs and shorten iteration cycles, without affecting normal production;

Improve the management level: Open up the top and bottom systems to realize a digital smart factory.

Product description

The BFMS multi-machine dispatching system is a central management system for intelligent dispatching of multiple robots. It adopts the management mode of central management and independent control of dispatching multiple vehicles to manage the cooperation of multiple robots of different types, and realize the task allocation, path planning, and scheduling coordination of multiple robots. , Traffic control, robot control and other functions, support multiple types of navigation modes under complex conditions, and seamlessly connect with MES, WMS, ERP and other auxiliary systems to build an information closed loop and create an automated and flexible smart logistics platform.

BANS stand-alone control system is an individual robot brain, compatible with multiple types of chassis and sensors, endows the robot with cognitive, understanding and action capabilities, and completes the intelligent transformation of mobile robots at the equipment level of smart factories.

The BSLAM autonomous navigation and positioning system is a product that combines software and hardware with real-time dynamic mapping and positioning functions for the mobile robot market. It is based on the extended Kalman filter (EKF) algorithm and multi-sensor information fusion technology, and has a sensitive environment. Perception and excellent ability to adapt to complex environments, stable map construction and highly robust dynamic high-precision positioning capabilities.

The industrial era of large-scale human production has passed, and the digital economy era has arrived. The manufacturing end and the demand end are connected through data, and consumer demand data is accurately transmitted to upstream manufacturing enterprises. In order to meet market demand, the manufacturing industry needs to produce small batches and multiple varieties of products in real time, and provide customized and personalized products. service.

In this major market change, the manufacturing industry needs to improve the capabilities of intelligence, flexibility and digitalization, to achieve cost reduction and efficiency enhancement, and to meet the changing needs of the demand side. AGV, as a supplier of flexible manufacturing and intelligent logistics system solutions, will work hand in hand Cooperative partners provide more efficient, high-quality and convenient system solutions, and collaboratively empower more enterprises to achieve logistics upgrades and intelligent transformation.
