- Unload Fully and Autonomously With Less Product Damage | Honeywell Intelligrated
Unload Fully and Autonomously With Less Product Damage
Unload Fully and Autonomously With Less Product Damage | Honeywell Intelligrated
Matt Wicks
10 August 2020
Next-generation robotic unloaders from Honeywell Intelligrated can do more than just minimize delays. Trailers can be unloaded fully autonomously, sending boxes, polybags and jiffy bags downstream in a semi-singulated flow. The robot’s efficiency can reduce your dock labor needs by up to 80%, and might even allow you to free up valuable space by using fewer loading bays.
Here’s how it works:
Using a combination of a vacuum arm and a conveyor sweep system, these robots are capable of handling diverse case sizes and weights, even from trailers that haven’t been loaded with robots in mind. The machine can handle cases from 1 to 75 pounds, and product dimensions as small as a box of tissues or as large as a washing machine. This range is designed to accommodate the variety of sizes, shapes and quantities typically found in today’s e-commerce operations.
But the innovations don’t stop there.
What makes these robots truly revolutionary is a cutting-edge electronic “brain.” Next-generation robotic unloaders are among the first to benefit from the Honeywell Universal Robotics Controller (HURC), which combines high-speed processing, improved vision and machine learning-based decision making with advanced motion planning. This system also offers full connectivity, allowing robotic unloaders to incorporate advanced machine learning and use data from other robots to improve their perception and decision making.
Depending on case size and operational specifications, HURC enables each robot to unload over 1,900 cases per hour — more than double the rate of manual processes. Even at this speed, the same system also enables the robot to handle packages with greater care. The articulated nose conveyor positions itself to minimize drop distance. The system’s unloading aggressiveness can also be customized for each application to ensure customers receive merchandise intact.
Robust operating algorithms, an integrated unscrambler and dynamic side guides minimize the chances of a jam and keep product flowing, while automated exception detection alerts operators to handle unexpected pallets. In the event of fallen or missed packages, the robotic unloader’s nose conveyor automatically adjusts height and angle to sweep them up with ease; no operator involvement is required.
This fully autonomous performance means there’s no need for an operator to remain on standby or direct the machine. Operators can spend that time overseeing as many as four additional robotic unloaders or performing other tasks. And thanks to standard industrial controls and a simple machine design, these employees don’t need advanced skill sets.
