9 Autonomous Vehicles 9

10 SLAM Simultaneous Localization and Mapping 10

11 Navigation 11

12 Industrial vehicles Easy to deploy Learns environment Simple targets at accurate locations Adaptive Navigate around temporary obstacles Re-program to new or changing tasks Human safe 12

13 Warehouse 13

14 Hospitals 14

15 Small Case or tote 50kg to 200kg Mir 100 Omron Adept Lynx Otto

16 Large Pallet size 500kg to 1,500kg.. Otto 1500 Fetch 16

17 To move Case Tote Shelf Pallet 17

18 What do we call them? More than an AGV Autonomous Indoor Vehicle (Omron) Mobile Robot Self Driving Vehicle (Clearpath) Virtual Conveyor (Fetch) Point to point Flexible and adaptable Expandable just add more! 18

19 Case Study: Central Palletiser for AstraZeneca 19

20 AstraZeneca. North Ryde, Sydney. Pulmicort Respules - Asthma related nebulizer Growing Chinese market 8 BFS lines installed - Producing over 70 million units per year Expanding $100 million investment 3 new lines Exports to more than $2.4 billion over next 4 years. 20

21 Pallet Movements 21

22 Wrap, Shroud and Strap. 22

23 The User Requirements Spec. Collect cases from 11 lines. Up to 18 in the future Palletise by batch/line Aggregate for serialization Wrap Shroud and strap Accumulate up to 40 pallets Minimise warehouse space Flexible for future products Reliability and redundancy 23

24 Traditional approach Pallet dispenser Pallet conveyors Robot palletiser farm Pallet finishing A grid-lock array of conveyors Multiple single point failure issues. 24

25 What if Execute all pallet movements with Autonomous Vehicles? Layout freedom Workflow flexibility Palletise with collaborative robots? Redundancy Flexibility work arounds 25

26 Swisslog CarryPick 26

27 Swisslog CarryPick Not human safe but fine for this application Moving around big robots anyway. Pallet movements not time-critical to production Fine to go up to 30 minutes without movements. Not free-roaming Follow markers on the floor. But not required in this application. Predictability more important. Not their usual application but well suited 27

28 Palletise with UR10 Leading collaborative robot Over 16,000 deployed. Comfortable with 4 kg boxes 10kg total capacity Keep palletizing if access to area is required. 28

29 The Solution Collecting from existing 8 case packers/palletisers, and 3 new lines Denipro EasyChain ring conveyor Interroll case presentation on new mezzanine 7 x UR10 palletizing onto 14 stations CarryPick move to 2 x pallet lifters then through Pallet scanner (Aggregation for serialization) Wrapper Shrouder Labeler Unload and re-load 29

30 Convey to warehouse 30

31 Palletise upstairs 31

32 Finish Downstairs 32

33 Features Reliability Redundancy Work Arounds Flexibility Re-program AGV and robots Maintainability Clear access 33

34 Future of material flows and logistics Autonomous, mobile, intelligent, self navigating mobile robot vehicles. Virtual conveyors Programmable material movements Material supplies to line Product movement in labs and production Finished good movements End of line palletizing Automated pallet finishing and movements End-of-line palletizing wrapping warehouse. 34

35 Simple workflow solutions End of line palletising Pallet dispenser Vehicle moving pallets Dispenser to palletiser Palletiser to wrapper Wrapper to store 35

36 Reality of Industry 4.0 In the next few years.. Autonomous vehicle Deployed throughout industry Delivery of supplies to lines Moving finished goods through packing and dispatch Simplified material handling and logistics Automation solutions viable for smaller facilities Flexible and easy to deploy A range of solution Including dedicated Australian Standard Pallet vehicles 36
