…Before heat treatment, the serial parts undergo a meticulous cleaning process in a cabin-washing facility, said HWL. Each customer typically delivers around 900 to 1,000 parts in large loading carriers, which employees manually transfer into washing baskets. The parts in the baskets are then carefully placed onto multi-tiered racks using a peg system before being transported to the oven for heat treatment. The immense diversity in size and weight of the metal parts, combined with their fragile nature prior to heat treatment, made the handling process extremely complex, noted Lembke. He said the following factors made automation with conventional systems…

…location to another, monitoring warehouse security, and even performing cleaning and maintenance activities. Some companies are experimenting with using drones equipped with mapping software to create 3D maps of a warehouse to help optimize its layout, detect out-of-place objects, and improve efficiency. Drones can also collect data such as temperature, humidity, and light levels in a warehouse to maintain ideal conditions for stored products. As with AMRs, drones use IMUs for dead reckoning to improve navigation accuracy during flight and swarm autonomy for collaborative working. In addition, envision swarm drones communicating directly with swarm AMRs. For instance, if a package…
