The challenge
Preparing components for appliance assembly
LED lighting assemblies, control boards and wiring harnesses require coordinated material preparation and delivery to assembly workstations.
The solution
Integrated component towers and tote storage
Electronic component towers, antistatic CTUs and AGVs coordinate material release and delivery to assembly workstations.
Project configuration
- Robots
- 3 antistatic CTUs and 3 low-profile AGVs
- Picking and component tower
- 2 picking workstations and 1 electronic component tower system
- Storage capacity
- 7,000 tote positions; electronic component tower capacity of 4,000+
- Component tower release cycle
- 5 seconds per reel
