大家好!“外企头条”栏目今天推出丹麦MiR自主移动机器人制造商首席执行官Thomas Visti的署名文章:
《实力派移动机器人跃升为未来工厂的支柱》
请看详细报道
随着工业生产网络日益扩大,越来越多的智能解决方案应用到内部物流领域中。
The increasing networking of industrial production requires more and more intelligent solutions in the field of intralogistics.
移动机器人可满足高度灵活且透明的物料运输需求。丹麦的自主移动机器人制造商MiR向我们展示出它是如何工作的。
Mobile robots help to successfully meet the demand for a highly flexible and transparent material flow. A Danish manufacturer shows how it works.
未来工厂已逐步成型——数字平台的使用贯穿其中,人与机器也在日常工作中进行协作,制造技术变得越来越高效。
The factory of the future has been taking shape for a long time; digital platforms are being used, people and machines are collaborating in everyday work, manufacturing technologies are becoming continuously more efficient.
同时,日益自动化的工厂作业流程愈发需要引进创新的内部物流理念。
At the same time, the increasingly automated processes require innovative concepts for intralogistics.
只有在生产和物流流程进行有效配合的情况下,工业4.0才能发挥最佳作用。
Industry 4.0 can only function optimally if production and logistics processes are efficiently linked.
然而,这种配合通常还未能被有效地运用起来。能力高的员工往往需要手动处理内部运输工作,以牺牲效率为代价。
However, such networking is often not taking place yet. Highly qualified employees often take care of in-house transports manually, at the expense of efficiency.
物流4.0亟需可以灵活连接各个生产阶段的解决方案。而使用移动机器人就是一个绝佳解决方案,它可以简化内部货物的运输流程,同时实现动态管理及经济高效自动化。
Logistics 4.0 calls for solutions that act as a flexible link between individual production stages. One obvious answer is mobile robots, which enable simple, dynamic and cost-effective automation of internal flows of goods.
通过这种方式,各个环节便可以进行有效连接,资源的使用更具目的性,员工再也无须手动处理运输。
In this way, processes can be linked, resources used purposefully and employees relieved.
来自丹麦的机器人专家
Danish robotics expertise
MiR是自主移动机器人领域的先驱之一,公司坐落于安徒生故乡丹麦的奥登赛,专门研发用于物料运输的自主移动机器人。
One of the pioneers in this field is Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR). The company from Odense specializes in the development of autonomous, mobile robots for material handling.
MiR的机器人可以在动态环境中独立导航,主要归功于其传感器系统和安全计算程序不会对生产设施的基础结构产生干扰,这使它们能够与人类并肩安全地作业。
Autonomous because MiR robots can independently navigate in a dynamic environment thanks to their sensor systems and security algorithms without interfering with the infrastructure of production facilities. This enables them to operate safely side by side with humans.
其高级组件,例如货架部件或推车挂钩,使得机器人通过搭配灵活的工具,便可自动执行几乎所有的运输任务。
Top modules such as shelf units or cart-pulling hooks eventually make the robot colleague a flexible tool that can automate almost any transport task.
促进Kamstrup工厂产能翻番
Doubling of production capacity at Kamstrup
知名丹麦智能计量解决方案供应商Kamstrup 的工厂应用案例很好地展现了移动机器人能够实现静态生产线和生产单元之间货物流动的无缝衔接。
The example of Kamstrup A / S shows how a seamless flow of goods between static production lines and production cells can be realized by mobile robots.
在该工厂智能仪表方案的生产制造过程中,四台配备了顶部组件的MiR100机器人自主运输半成品和成品,完全无需人工干预。
At the manufacturer of intelligent meter solutions, four MiR100 robots equipped with conveyor top modules, transport semi-finished products and finished products without human intervention.
只要把该内部物流解决方案集成到公司的ERP系统中,便可符合工业4.0所创建的数字网络模式。
The intralogistics solution meets the Industry 4.0 paradigm of digital networking by integrating it into the company's ERP system.
因此当销售代表发布新订单时,移动机器人即会收到行进路线列表并自主执行运输任务。
When a sales representative issues a new order, the mobile robots will receive a list of routes that they will gradually follow.
通过使用能连续作业的自主移动机器人完成运输重任,Kamstrup几乎完全实现了自动化生产,在仅72小时的交货期内保证最大生产能力。
Kamstrup has almost completely automated its production through the transport robots, which are in continuous operation. The manufacturer uses maximum production capacity and keeps its delivery expectation of only 72 hours.
Kamstrup生产经理表示:“MiR机器人在吞吐量最大化上发挥了至关重要的作用,他们甚至促进我们的产量翻了一番。”
"The MiR robots play a crucial role in maximizing our throughput. They even allowed us to double our production, "explains production manager at Kamstrup.
极具便捷性的内部物流运输 4.0
Intralogistics 4.0 made very user-friendly
以上实际案例不仅展示了移动机器人如何使工厂适应未来需求,同时还强调了创新技术应该适用于任何人。因为即使没有编程技能基础的用户也可以轻松操作MiR机器人,使其投入工作。
A look at practical examples not only shows how mobile robotics makes factories fit for the future. It also emphasizes that innovative technology is for everyone because even users without prior programming skills can set up the MiR robots and make them work.
MiR机器人可以与任何移动设备或计算机的直观用户界面连接,进行轻松操作。
The robots can be easily operated via an intuitive user interface with any mobile device or computer.
移动机器人兼具协作性,旨在与人类同事安全地并肩工作。
The mobile robots are collaborative and designed to work safely side by side with its human colleagues.
当机器人接管内部运输任务时,原先的操作人员便可以腾出时间来完成更多更有价值的任务,确保工作流程的顺畅高效。
When the robot takes over the internal transportation tasks, it leaves time for its human colleagues to do more valuable tasks, ensuring smooth and efficient workflows.
毕竟,工业4.0的重点一直都在于人与机器的良好协作共存。
After all, the focus of Industry 4.0 is always the well-rehearsed coexistence of man and machine.
在Kamstrup公司,这就意味着将员工从单调的运输任务中解放出来,让他们能够更好地利用自身专业知识专注于原型开发。
At Kamstrup, this means relieving the employees from monotone transportation tasks and letting them use their expertise for prototype development.
这最终将能够使得制造商更具竞争力地走向未来。
This ultimately makes the manufacturer both future-oriented and competitive.
