MiR1000 Pallet Movements at Treasury Wines (SA):

Treasury were looking for a dynamic solution that allowed them to shuttle pallets from their high density racking area directly into their bottling line. Their forklifts now just lift materials from the racks, travel a few meters to the end of the rack and drop the pallet off at a nearby pallet stand.

They then press a button on their tablet to tell our robot to pickup a pallet from the stand they dropped off to and select a destination instead of driving the pallet to the yellow floored pallet buffer area (where somebody with a pallet jack currently needs to pick it up from and drag it the rest of the way for). They can move the pallet stands anywhere they’d like (with sufficient space), drive the robot to the pallet stand’s new position and get the robot to scan in the new location to the robot’s map, allowing them to dynamically change pickup/drop-off locations very rapidly. The movements seen in this video took me approximately 1 hour to map and program using a code-free interface.

MiR1350 Pallet Movements at Cobs Popcorn (VIC):

This is a lights-out fully integrated 24 hour solution where a fleet of 4 robots (named Ding, Wow, Pop and Choc) moved full pallets from 7 different robot palletiser cells to an automated hood wrapper system.

The new MiR250 can move trolleys weighing up to 300KG at speeds up to 2m/s. I particularly love this use-case, as the caretaker of the robots is a regular warehouse worker who has been entrusted with them, not an engineer. Every time I visit, he shows me new routes and tweaks he has made to the robot’s maps and missions to improve performance at Fujitsu. An excellent example of how collaborative robots work best when they are used to augment people’s work rather than replace it. This is made possible by MiR’s easy to use code-free interface.

MiR200 Trolley Movements at Fujitsu (NSW):

This is another great example of a dynamic automation solution which is very similar to the treasury wines example above, but uses a smaller MiR200 (now replaced by MiR250) to move trolleys instead of pallets.

MiR200 ANCA AIMS video (this is a really cool MiR application by Australia’s only major CNC manufacturer, ANCA, which has setup an amazing lights out manufacturing cell using a MiR with a UR5 cobot arm mounted to it for grinding and measuring across multiple processes at their plant in Melbourne.) Really cool application!
