ATLAS ROBOTS Technological Demonstrator
Valdemoro, Madrid.
Demonstrator number 7
Description
Integral Optimization: Autonomous Vehicles and Robotic Arms for an Efficient Industry.
The demonstrator showcases an installation that is divided into two key elements:
- a palletizing robot: robotic arm
- an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle).
This system promises to revolutionize packaging and transport, ensuring efficiency and safety.
Palletizing robot: robotic arm with clamp
This robot handles a large quantity of products with precision and speed, optimizing space and reducing operation time.
Atlas Robots Automatic Guided Vehicle
The second part is Atlas Robots’ Automated Guided Vehicle, a modified pallet truck that lifts up to 1200 kilograms at a maximum speed of 1 meter per second. This AGV ensures optimal transport, avoiding damage and improving internal logistics. An efficient and economical alternative to traditional pallet trucks. It adapts to various tasks in the production line with an easily traced path. In addition, our technology allows combination with other robots. Operates in real time.
Innovative aspects
AGV
- Innovation: Allows pallets to be transported without human intervention on predefined routes.
- Efficiency: Through software, the AGV communicates with other robots, ensuring accurate and synchronized delivery.
- Impact: Increases productivity by automating internal logistics, ideal for workflows that require precision and high delivery cadence.
Features:
- Loads up to 1,200 kg.
- Top speed of 1m/s
- Lithium battery with 10 hours autonomy.
- Safety LIDAR radar that detects objects and people around the vehicle.
Robotic arm:
Cadence: palletizing robots such as the pallet maker can produce one pallet every 30 seconds, i.e. 2 pallets per minute.
Versatility: Capable of handling various materials (boards, glass, sacks) and adapting to different sectors, such as the meat industry, warehouses, and more.
Durability: The systems have a long life cycle and require only minimal maintenance, ensuring high long-term reliability.
This technology makes it possible to combine other robots to automate different processes, freeing operators from this task and allowing greater production and resource utilization, as well as time optimization.
Pilot implementations
Since its foundation, Atlas Robots has installed more than 300 installations in Europe and America. It has become a benchmark in robotics for having made it possible for small producers to access this technology. They are integrators of second-hand robots coming from the automotive industry in projects of palletizing and depalletizing of bags, boxes, boards, glass, etc.
AGV (Automatic Guided Vehicle):
Initial implementations: it has been implemented in factories with predefined routes, optimizing the transport of goods and pallets without human intervention. AGVs enable logistics automation, reducing delivery time and maximizing efficiency. In the first projects, these vehicles have been successfully integrated with other robots in the production chain, achieving perfect synchronization.
Testing in logistics plants: Their ability to plan routes and coordinate with existing systems has proven effective in manufacturing plants, optimizing transportation times.
Robotic arms:
Initial implementations:
Advanced manipulation: These robots have been used for handling delicate materials such as glass and boards in industrial environments, where high precision and adaptability are required. In addition, they have been key in palletizing processes of heavy or bulky products, such as boxes or sacks, in industries such as food and agriculture.
High versatility: One of the most important pilots was the integration in a high-speed packaging plant, where robotic arms performed handling and assembly tasks, reducing human error and optimizing cycle times.
Both technologies have been key in improving productivity, demonstrating their ability to reduce operating times, minimize human error and adapt their processes to various industrial sectors. AGVs and robotic arms have been tested in highly demanding environments, demonstrating their ability to handle everything from simple tasks to complex logistics and production processes.
