01 Incremental market, promising prospects
In recent years, collaborative robots and mobile robots have developed rapidly, and the growth rate has far exceeded that of traditional industrial robots. While these two kinds of robots are developing rapidly, they have also sparked a different spark - composite mobile robots. Composite mobile robots are generally composed of robotic arms, mobile platforms, vision and end-effectors, etc., aiming to make the robotic arm no longer limited by the location of the operation, and reach more and wider ranges to meet the growing flexible needs of customers.
In fact, the birth of composite mobile robots is indispensable to the demand of the market. With the development of various industries, enterprises are more urgent for the transformation of workshops, and then in the post-epidemic era, the demographic dividend has disappeared, and the demand for automation upgrading and flexible production lines in factories has become increasingly obvious. According to the data of the China Mobile Robot (AGV/AMR) Industry Alliance, according to the statistics of the New Strategic Mobile Robot Industry Research Institute, 560 new composite mobile robots were added to the Chinese market in 2020, an increase of 115.3% over 2019, and market sales reached 260 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 40.5%.
All these factors prove that the incremental market of composite mobile robots has huge potential, and the current demand for composite mobile robots may only be the tip of the iceberg. According to statistics, the application of composite mobile robots is mainly based on: semiconductors, intelligent inspection, 3C-based, customers are generally enterprises with a high degree of automation, I believe that with the development and progress of science and technology, the application of composite mobile robots will be more extensive, and the demand is only a matter of time.
02 Elite: From the customer to the customer
The composite mobile robot is composed of a mobile platform, a robotic arm, a vision module, an end effector, etc., and is the culmination of robotics. Therefore, it is very unrealistic to build a complete set of composite mobile robot solutions by relying on only one robot manufacturer. In recent years, more and more enterprises have begun to carry out ecological cooperation, and joint development between robot companies has gradually become a general trend. At present, Elite has cooperated with more than 50 manufacturers at home and abroad, supporting 100 kinds of accessory combinations, covering most of the mainstream AGV, 2D/3D vision, grippers, lifting columns, force sensors, etc., and constantly expanding the collaboration ecology.
Elite collaborative robots cooperate with AGV and 3D smart camera manufacturers to give machines, eyes, hands and feet, and this set of equipment can be widely used in inspection, material management, mobile assembly and other fields. Thanks to the light weight and low power consumption of Elite robots, it is easier to carry AGV trolleys with SLAM technology. Next, we will introduce the applications and solutions of composite mobile robots based on actual cases.
01 Assist subway security and intelligent inspection applications
The application integrates the Elite EC66 (6kg load) collaborative robot, with a dead weight of only 17.5kg, and the power of 250w is less than 1/4 of the traditional industrial robot compared with the traditional industrial robot with the same load, ensuring that the AGV trolley can achieve a higher endurance time when running. The whole solution can run continuously for 8 hours on a single charge, which can basically ensure the completion of the detection of a complete subway line. The use of collaborative robots + AGV solutions to replace manual vehicle inspection has realized the "safety, efficiency and accuracy" in the track inspection process, liberated personnel from heavy and harsh work, and improved the overall operational efficiency.
02 Settled in 3C electronics factory, machine tool loading and unloading application
A well-known electronics OEM factory, customized by Elite for it, combined with Stander AGV integrated with 20 composite mobile robots. The project adopts a composite mobile robot solution combining collaborative robots and SLAM trolleys, and one composite mobile robot corresponds to 8 machine tools, replacing people to complete 7×24 hours of machine tool loading and unloading. The on-line loading and unloading system of the composite mobile robot replaces the previous manual loading and unloading, which not only reduces the work intensity of personnel, improves the production efficiency and production quality of the production line, and increases the production capacity by more than 20%; At the same time, the system is modular, and the platform has good compatibility for future product variants and different processes, which maximizes the protection of customers' investments.
03 Automotive industry, smart charging
The gradual rise of new energy trams in the automotive industry has become a general trend, and with it comes the problem of setting charging piles. Especially in public parking lots, it is difficult to avoid the parking demand for non-charging fuel vehicles if there are too many charging spaces, and it is difficult to balance the two. The emergence of composite mobile robots can optimize resources to a greater extent. Compared with the fixed charging pile, the advantage of the composite mobile robot is that the equipment is no longer limited by the location, it receives the instruction to automatically go to the designated place, the collaborative robot combined with the vision system to accurately identify and insert the charging port, and charge the vehicle, Elite combined with its own collaborative robot advantages and ecological partners to create a mobile intelligent charging robot, has been successfully applied to a well-known new energy automobile factory in North China and East China.
prospect
In recent years, composite robots have been in an incremental state, and many companies have laid out composite mobile robot production lines, but the more companies enter the game, the more we need to be "stable", and to achieve "stability", we need to calm down and do a good job in products. In the future, Elite will give full play to the tacit understanding with partners in various application scenarios to provide customers with simpler and more easy-to-use equipment, more efficient cooperation, and more stable and reliable solutions.
