Garment factories involve multiple production areas-cutting, sewing, assembly, and finishing-where timely material delivery is essential to maintain smooth production flow. Delays in moving materials can disrupt the production rhythm, causing downtime and increasing labor costs. Many garment manufacturers are now adopting automated logistics systems to ensure stable and predictable operations.
After expanding its production lines, a large garment factory found that manual material handling could no longer keep up with dense workstations, long transport routes, and frequent style changes. Congested aisles and inconsistent delivery times became major bottlenecks, limiting overall efficiency. To solve this, the factory introduced the 100kg Big Dog AMR robot to handle internal material transport.
The Big Dog AMR robot autonomously moves materials between warehouses, preparation areas, and production lines, supporting multiple carrier types to match different processes. With laser navigation and multi-sensor perception, the robot operates safely and accurately in complex factory layouts without requiring major facility changes.
The scheduling system automatically assigns transport tasks based on real-time production demand, enabling multi-robot coordination and reducing unnecessary travel. Staff can trigger deliveries with a single remote command, minimizing manual intervention.
Once in operation, the factory saw more consistent and timely material deliveries without increasing logistics staff. Production flow became smoother, line balancing improved, and overall execution of production plans became more reliable, supporting lean manufacturing goals.
