VELUX Project Overview: Enhancing Internal Logistics with the AMR ABB T702
The VELUX project aimed to enhance internal efficiency by automating the transportation of materials between various production lines. The goal was to reduce human effort on repetitive tasks while ensuring the safety and flexibility of production processes. The primary objective was to optimize production processes to boost competitiveness and lower operational costs.
After analyzing VELUX’s specific requirements, Tech3D, as an integrator of robots and ABB Value Provider in the Grand Est region, proposed a tailored solution by installing an AMR ABB T702 robot. This robot was specifically designed for industrial environments.
Tech3D’s AMR ABB T702 Solution: Advanced Automation with VSLAM Technology
Following an intensive training and certification process as an integrator of mobile robotic solutions, Tech3D installed the AMR ABB T702 robot, a perfect solution to meet VELUX’s logistical needs. This autonomous mobile robot uses VSLAM (Vision-Based Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) technology—an innovation that combines artificial intelligence and 3D vision to autonomously navigate complex industrial environments.
With VSLAM technology, the AMR T702 robot can adjust its routes in real-time based on changes in the production environment, ensuring exceptional operational flexibility. Unlike Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV), the T702 does not rely on physical tracks or markings. It continuously analyzes and maps its environment to ensure precise and optimized movements.
Key Benefits of the AMR ABB T702 for VELUX: Increased Productivity, Safety, and Flexibility
- Logistics optimization: The AMR ABB T702 robot automated the transportation of products between production lines, reducing transit times and optimizing production flows.
- Increased productivity: Thanks to its autonomous and continuous operation, the robot reduces downtime and enhances overall plant efficiency.
- Reduced human workload: By handling repetitive and low-value tasks, the workforce can focus on more strategic and technical activities.
- Precision and safety: VSLAM technology enables smooth and accurate navigation, even in changing environments, ensuring safe operations for employees and equipment.
- Adaptability and flexibility: The AMR robot can be reprogrammed to meet new logistical needs without heavy infrastructure, offering great flexibility in industrial processes.
Thanks to this successful project, VELUX significantly improved its internal logistics management, enhancing its competitiveness in the industry. Through Tech3D’s expertise in mobile robot integration, the AMR ABB T702 has effectively automated critical tasks while maintaining the flexibility required in a constantly evolving production environment.
