This episode's case video takes you inside a domestic 3C digital factory, offering a close-up look at how over 80 LANXIN's 3D vision-enabled mobile robots help enterprises build a smart production line capable of thinking, collaboration, and self-adaptation.
The Dilemma of 3C Production:
Isolated Automation Struggles to Bear the Weight
The competition in the 3C industry has intensified to a fever pitch, with its internal logistics facing three major challenges:
The Complexity Maze: From SMT workshops to assembly lines, from electronic material warehouses to finished product storage, materials traverse multiple floors and zones, creating a labyrinthine flow path.
The Rigidity Problem: Traditional automation equipment requires lengthy modification cycles and lacks flexibility, struggling to adapt to rapid production changes and order fluctuations.
The Data Disconnect: Material information fails to sync with physical flow, leading to inventory inaccuracies and delayed responses, leaving managers "like blind men trying to understand an elephant."
Solving these challenges no longer requires individual "high-performing" robots, but rather a comprehensive "robot ecosystem" capable of integrating the entire operation.
LANXIN SOLUTION:
Connecting the Entire Production Line with a "Robot Army"
In this project, LANXIN deployed a "composite brigade" comprising various types of robots including AMR, forklift, tote, and clamping models. Their core operational strength stems from three key capabilities:
1.From Blind Compliance to Insightful Perception
Autonomous Navigation: Equipped with LANXIN's self-developed 3D visual navigation system, the robots operate without predefined magnetic tracks. They navigate complex environments with production line adjustments and human activity as deftly as "seasoned drivers".
Precision Handling: 3D vision enables millimeter-level pallet recognition and grasping capabilities. Even when faced with slightly misaligned stringer pallets, they intelligently correct deviations to ensure accurate loading/unloading without errors.
3D Obstacle Avoidance: The unique 3D visual avoidance system detects low-profile obstacles and suspended objects that traditional LiDAR cannot perceive, achieving a transition from "planar protection" to "three-dimensional safety".
2.From Individual Operation to Coordinated Action
Across the project's four-floor, tens-of-thousands-square-meter facility, LANXIN's LX-RCS cluster scheduling system serves as the "command center" for this robotic force:
Thousand-unit Scheduling: The system coordinates AMRs for production line material handling, forklifts for automated warehouse and elevator interfaces, and tote AMRs for "goods-to-person" picking - achieving seamless task integration and zero traffic congestion.
Integrated Operations: The LX-WMS deeply integrates with the client's MES. When production lines issue demand orders, the scheduling system instantly dispatches the nearest and most suitable robots, achieving perfect synchronization between information flow and physical logistics.
3. From Fragmented Points to Continuous Flow
This robotic army covers all scenarios in 3C manufacturing:
2F Electronic Material Warehouse: Tote AMRs precisely handle thousands of storage locations, multiplying picking efficiency for massive SKUs.
4F SMT Workshop: Clamping/lifting AMRs seamlessly interface with load/unload equipment, enabling automated buffering and feeding of PCBA materials.
Cross-floor Transportation: Unmanned forklifts intelligently coordinate with elevators and automatic doors to achieve autonomous material transfer between floors.
1F Finished Goods Warehouse: Forklifts maneuver effortlessly within dense racking to complete final links of storage and retrieval.
Results in Action
Flexible Logistics Powering a New Manufacturing Paradigm
The deployment of LANXIN's robot army in this project factory has brought about transformative changes:
Efficiency Revolution: Wait times between logistics stages were reduced by 90%, while overall logistics efficiency increased by over 30%, supporting the company's production capacity ramp-up.
Human Liberation: Multiple high-intensity, repetitive logistics positions achieved "lights-out operations", reducing labor costs by more than 70% and realizing the vision of "robots assisting humans".
Management Evolution: Full-process data transparency enables managers to gain real-time insights into every material pallet and each robot's status, shifting decision-making from "experience-driven" to "data-driven".
Ultimate Flexibility: When production line adjustments are needed, the robot system requires no physical modifications - simply remapping through software allows rapid adaptation, creating unlimited potential for future product iterations and capacity expansion.
