Lineup

2D Sensing

2D Sensing

2D sensing is a technology that detects information about objects and environments on a flat surface, and utilizes fool proof screens and laser scanners to provide navigation and guidance on the activity.

3D Sensing

3D Sensing

3D sensing is a technology that detects three-dimensional information about objects and the environment, and uses 3D sensors to realize navigation at the activity site. There is no need to build a complex system for fool proof, and a simple design is possible. Since it is possible to measure depth, it can be used on Rack or flat surfaces, and fool proof can be set even when the input destination is on an incline.

Image Sensing

Image Sensing

Image sensing is a technology that uses cameras and sensors to obtain image information of objects and environments, and can utilize AR markers to provide navigation and guidance at activity sites.

Challenge

activity while looking at paper instructions is inefficient / There are many mistakes in assembly activity, and we want to reduce them

I want to digitize activity content, manage activity history, and enable traceability.

There are many mistakes when picking parts.

It takes time to learn. It takes time to master it.

Solution

Assembly instruction images are projected onto a board near the workpiece or in front of the worker, allowing the activity to activity easily and quickly by simply following the image. The system is equipped with a fool proof function, which warns the worker if a mistake is made and helps prevent mistakes.

activity log management is possible

"What is where?" is shown with images and text, and the picking Quantity is displayed directly on the parts Rack , so you can instantly tell where the desired part is and how many you should pick. If you make a mistake, you will be warned, so you cannot proceed to the next activity unless activity correctly.

By projecting activity instructions onto a screen, even newcomers can start activity right from the first day by looking at the images. This system is easy even for beginners to use, reducing the burden on activity.

  • Up to five wireless switches can be used, allowing five people to activity simultaneously in the same area.

  • The projector's illumination area expands depending on the illumination distance.

  • The information on activity completion is transmitted using a self-powered wireless switch that does not require batteries.

Challenge

Since there is no inventory and only sorting is done, sorting activity is done in floor space with no Rack , making it difficult to build a system.

I want to sorting directly onto pallet on the floor or onto a six-wheeled trolley.

Want to know the progress of activity in real time?

Many layout changes

I want to activity with multiple people at the same time to improve efficiency.

Want to make effective use of activity space in logistics warehouses

Solution

The floor-illuminated F- Projection Picking System(PPS) projects picking instructions, sorting instructions, product names, Quantity, etc. onto the floor from the ceiling, so the system can be installed in places like this.By using a wireless switch that can generate its own power without the need for batteries and a Bluetooth barcode reader, activity can be done in a wireless environment.

By projecting images, it is possible to give instructions directly onto pallet or six-wheeled trolleys.

Not only can it be monitored from a higher-level system, but it is also possible to project time targets, progress, and other information onto the wall.

Since Projection Picking System(PPS) is a video projection system, it can be easily switched using a dedicated layout setting tool (99 patterns can be registered).

Since the projection is done using a projector, multiple people can activity simultaneously by assigning each person a different color and giving instructions in multiple colors.

By using a projector, it is possible to create a sorting system (even for picking) in a limited space.

Goods To Person(for robotics integration)

Features

  • In the conventional Goods To Person (Goods To Person) system using AGVs, workers would first look at the picking instructions on a PC screen, then picking the product, or scan the barcode of the picking product and look at the sorting instructions that appeared on the PC screen before starting activity. This meant that the speed was slow and workers would often look away, resulting in mistakes in picking and putting in the wrong products. However, with the Projection Picking System(PPS) 🄬, picking can navigate to the product entrance to pick up the product, improving activity efficiency.

  • Laser sensors covering the entire picking Rack instantly notify you of any picking errors with an alarm sound and a red light, achieving fool proof.

  • It is possible to build various on-site sorting systems, such as SAS, to improve the efficiency of sorting products at the gate that opens after picking .

  • By using an ultra-short focus projector, activity are not cast in shadow by the projection.

  • By adopting AIOI Rack, the entire area of ​​two AGV Rack can be covered when projecting on AGV shelves, making it possible to project activity instructions to areas that were previously difficult to project (the lowest Rack ).

specification

  • AGV Rack projection (2.2m long x 1.3m wide)

  • fool proof function: Laser scan type

Challenge

In EC, products are Shipping in small quantities and in large varieties.

Reduce the burden on workers and increase productivity.

The product Rack are transported to the station by an Automatic guided vehicle (AGV) (AGV), but it is not possible to attach a light module to the moving product Rack .

Picking errors are unacceptable in the B2C business model.

Solution

The activity picks the picking according to the projected content and places it where the shutter opens, a activity that requires no thought, eliminating unnecessary movements and improving activity efficiency.

Since AGVs transport products automatically, the labor required for activity to walk is reduced and there is no need for workers to memorize the Rack.

By linking it to a light module, when the AGV arrives at the picking station, instructions regarding which product to picking and how many to pick from which Rack can be displayed directly on the Rack, a system that anyone can easily understand.

A sensor detects the position of the activity's hand, and if the worker makes a mistake, the fool proof function is activated and an alarm sound and alert light are activated to detect the mistake.
