The manufacturing site serves as both a high-volume production facility and a strategic destination for customer visits- making operational consistency and a structured production environment equally important.
With production volumes on the rise, the existing final assembly process relied entirely on manual pallet movement, creating bottlenecks and making it difficult to maintain a synchronized flow across workstations. This dependency also raised safety concerns and increased physical effort for operators.
The customer needed an automated material handling system that could automate the assembly line without disrupting ongoing operations, replacing existing pallets, or expanding the facility footprint.
Addverb implemented an integrated automated material handling solution covering final assembly movement and internal material replenishment for VMS production.
Dash Tug – an AGV tugger is deployed beneath the customer’s existing pallets, enabling sequential transfer across 30 workstations with 4 buffer stations. Guided by floor-mounted QR codes, DashTug autonomously moves pallets carrying assembled units weighing up to 1,600 kg, with the entire flow orchestrated through Addverb’s Fleet Management System (FMS).
For material replenishment, Dynamo 100 – amr robots are deployed to transport component trolleys between the kitting area and production work centers along predefined paths, replacing manual forklift-based operations. Each work center is supported by two dedicated trolleys with a load capacity of up to 120 kg each.
The extensive solution, incorporating a diverse range of robots to automate warehouse tasks, boasts unparalleled and impressive:
Established a fully automated assembly flow, eliminating dependency on manual pallet movement.
Reduced operator intervention in pallet transfer, improving safety and lowering physical handling effort.
Improved line synchronisation through intelligent routing and buffer management.
Improved material availability at sub-assembly stations through automated trolley replenishment.
