SMT workshops are typical high-rhythm production environments, where material replenishment must remain highly synchronized with the rhythm of the pick-and-place machines. If replenishment is delayed, the loss from the production line idling is far greater than the cost of manual handling. Therefore, building a stable and predictable logistics system has become a key upgrade direction for many electronic manufacturing companies.
After expanding its production lines, a large SMT patch factory discovered that the manual delivery model was no longer able to keep pace with the rhythm of dense workstations and frequent line changes. Logistics channels became congested, and replenishment response times fluctuated greatly, becoming a significant factor limiting production line efficiency. After several rounds of plan evaluation, the company ultimately chose the Reeman Big Dog AMR (Automated Mobile Robot) as the logistics execution unit.
The Big Dog AMR has a single-unit load capacity of 100kg and supports various types of carriers, allowing it to flexibly interface with material racks and turnover boxes to meet the needs of different production line processes. Based on laser radar navigation and a multi-sensor fusion perception system, the robot can achieve precise positioning and intelligent obstacle avoidance in complex environments without requiring large-scale workshop modifications.
On the system level, the Reeman scheduling platform can automatically assign transport tasks based on real-time production line demand, enabling multi-vehicle coordination and reducing empty running rates to improve overall transportation efficiency. Production line staff can quickly trigger deliveries with a remote one-click call, reducing manual intervention points.
For multi-story factory structures, the Big Dog AMR can automatically take elevators to complete inter-floor transportation, and can also interface with electric door systems to enable unmanned passage, truly connecting the warehouse area, material preparation area, and production line with a seamless logistics path.
Once the system was up and running stably, the SMT factory significantly improved the replenishment timeliness without increasing the logistics workforce. The production line rhythm became more controllable, and production planning execution ran more smoothly, providing a solid foundation for lean production management.
As the source manufacturer of AMR robots, Reeman has complete capabilities from core control algorithms to entire machine manufacturing. Its annual shipments continue to grow, with an increasing proportion of overseas deliveries. The products have been running stably in complex working conditions across multiple countries for the long term, forming a mature and reliable product platform.
