最新研究预测：到2027年,物料搬运和物流领域的移动机器人市场将达到750亿美元。从在设施中运送物料的智能自主移动机器人(AMR),将自身带到包装工和托运人的仓库货架,到机场行李AGC(自动导引车)的群发,到2019年,物料搬运将比以往任何时候都发生更多变化。
The latest research predicts: by 2027, the mobile robot market in material handling and logistics will reach US $75 billion. From the intelligent autonomous mobile robot (AMR), which transports materials in facilities, takes itself to the warehouse shelves of packers and shippers, to the mass delivery of airport baggage AGC (automatic guided vehicle), material handling will change more than ever before by 2019.
仓库AGV
机器人已经远远超出了用作静态机械化码垛机的范围。现在,送货卡车可以到达装卸码头,插入AGV系统,并由机器人完全卸下其托盘。
Robots have gone far beyond being used as static mechanized palletizers. The delivery truck can now reach the loading dock, insert the AGV system, and the robot will completely unload its pallet.
然后,可以通过自动叉车将货盘准确地运输到其存放目的地，未分配任务时,AGV可以将自己移至充电站,并准备下一批货到达。
The pallet can then be accurately transported to its storage destination by an automatic forklift, and when no task is assigned, the AGV can move itself to the charging station and prepare for the arrival of the next batch.
通过使用移动机器人工人,企业可以降低人工成本,减少对货物的损害并降低与工作有关的伤害的风险。除了节省人工成本外,使用自动叉车系统还有许多物流优势。
By using mobile robot workers, enterprises can reduce labor costs, reduce damage to goods and reduce the risk of job-related injuries. In addition to saving labor costs, there are many logistics advantages to using an automated forklift system.
一方面,机器人需要的行空间比人少,这在仓库中创建了更多可用的存储空间。 此外,机架本身可以配置得更深,因为自动穿梭系统可以将托盘从叉车深处移入机架系统。
On the one hand, robots need less row space than people, which creates more available storage space in the warehouse. In addition, the rack itself can be configured deeper because the automatic shuttle system can move pallets from the depths of the forklift into the rack system.
运送AMR
Transport AMR
机器人不仅改变了我们接收和存储货物的方式,使用智能导航的AMR现在也正在扰乱我们挑选,包装和运输这些货物的方式。现在,计算机系统和机器人技术不仅模仿人类十年前的工作方式,而且现在还利用其独特的能力来重新构想运输过程本身。
Robots have not only changed the way we receive and store goods, but AMR, which uses intelligent navigation, is now disrupting the way we select, package and transport them. Now, computer systems and robotics not only mimic the way humans worked a decade ago, but are now using their unique capabilities to reinvent the transport process itself.
如今,整个产品货架都移到了包装工上,而不是工人花费大量的时间在过道上寻找要挑选的物品。这个不可思议的概念现在已在阿里巴巴的智能仓库中使用,其中机器人完成了70%的工作。
Today, the entire product shelf is moved to the packers, rather than the workers who spend a lot of time in the aisles looking for items to pick. This incredible concept is now being used in Alibaba's smart warehouse, where robots do 70% of the work.
小型AMR从下方将货架抬离地面几英寸,然后沿着狭窄的通道穿梭于等待收拾订单的人员。 AMR可以举起多达500公斤的货架,并通过WiFi从中央计算机接收指令。这种新的物料搬运自动化方法已使产量增加了300%,而对人工的需求却减少了70%。
The small AMR lifts the shelves a few inches from below and then shuttles along the narrow aisles to people waiting to pick up their orders. AMR can lift up to 500 kg of shelves and receive commands from a central computer via WiFi. This new method of material handling automation has increased production by 300%, while the need for labor has been reduced by 70%.
物料搬运机器人的未来
The future of material handling robot
物料搬运行业非常适合机器人革命,并且可能比几乎其他任何领域都经历着更大的变革。许多使用机器人来提高其运营效率的公司都为采用更多创新方法来增加产量和提供卓越的客户服务开辟了道路。与大多数工作场所中机器人技术的进步一样,人与机器之间的技能将有新的分配,许多传统职位将发生变化,新职位也将出现。
The material handling industry is well suited to the robotics revolution and is likely to be undergoing more change than almost any other field. Many companies that use robots to improve their operational efficiency have opened the way for more innovative ways to increase production and provide superior customer service. As with the advances in robotics in most workplaces, there will be a new distribution of skills between people and machines, and many traditional jobs will change and new jobs will emerge.
装卸,选择,包装和移动货物的重复性任务似乎注定要由大型设施中的AGV或AMR接管。没有机器人的小型公司可能会面临更大的挑战,因为他们试图与不断增加的竞争产品相匹配。
The repetitive tasks of handling, selecting, packaging and moving goods seem destined to be taken over by AGVs or AMRS in large facilities. Small companies without robots may face greater challenges as they try to match the growing number of competing products.
协作机器人(cobot)的使用也正在改变“物料搬运”工作场所。合作机器人不是替换工人,而是与现有员工合作,使他们的工作更轻松,更安全。无论哪种方式,未来都将青睐有经验的人与机器人合作或管理机器人系统。这包括管理机器人创造的更高生产率所需的额外人员,将机器人技术引入现有环境的经验丰富的人员以及受过培训以维护这些有价值的新工具的人员。
The use of Cobot is also changing the "material handling" workplace. Instead of replacing workers, cooperative robots work with existing employees to make their work easier and safer. Either way, the future will favor experienced people to cooperate with robots or manage robot systems. This includes the additional personnel needed to manage the higher productivity created by robots, experienced people who bring robotics into the existing environment, and people trained to maintain these valuable new tools.
AGV,AMR,AUV和机器人可以帮助应对传统的物料搬运挑战，助理物流企业实现无人化的自动化智能工作。
