Autonomous Robots of the Future

Goal: Reducing warehouse worker involvement in the process of moving materials to production stations.

Scope of work:

• Transport of consumable materials and window fittings to the production hall
• Support for 6 production sections
• Robot called via a dedicated kiosk

Benefits:

• The robot saved 25–40% of the warehouse worker's time
• Reduction in the number of steps taken daily by warehouse employees by 30%
• Estimated ROI after: 14–17 months
• Savings over 30 months: approx. PLN 270,000 per robot

Goal: Automation of tedious and repetitive tasks, efficient delivery of materials where and when they are needed.

Scope of work:

• Supplying workstations with consumable materials
• Support for 60 workstations
• Navigation in tight and dynamically changing environments
• Integration with client-developed robot-calling software

Benefits:

• Employee time savings (~300 hours/month)
• Improved safety
• Flexibility and ease of solution scaling
• Improved employee ergonomics
• Estimated ROI: 17–20 months
• Estimated annual savings: PLN 162,000 per robot

Goal: Simplifying employee responsibilities – relieving them from irregular movement tasks.

Scope of work:

• Support for 2 independent processes
• Transport of returns
• Support for the quality control process

Benefits:

• Flexibility: one robot supports 3 independent processes – reconfigurable based on client needs
• Estimated ROI: 16–19 months
• Estimated annual savings: PLN 72,000 per robot

Goal: Removing workers from hazardous tasks and automating processes

Scope of work:

• Integration with plant automation, high approach precision of 10 mm and angular accuracy of 1°
• Transport of heavy loads 8–10 tons
• Support for 120 buffers with an option to expand by an additional 120
• Operations in high-contamination environments

Benefits:

• 80% reduction in material damage in the work area
• 90% reduction in human involvement in hazardous processes
• Full robot integration with the loading/unloading station
• Estimated annual savings: PLN 142,500 per robot
