IKEA Industry's scanner can complete 4 scans per second

摘要

Renowned as the world's largest wooden furniture producer, IKEA Industry, an integrated part of Inter IKEA Group, manufactures more than 100 million furniture pieces worldwide annually. To achieve successful order fulfillment, it is critical for the producer to optimize its production processes. With this in mind, one of its manufacturing facilities decided to automate its packing processes, which were performed manually before. To do so, it initiated a pilot project, which sought to develop and implement a modular and universal robotic cell for furniture parts packaging. Its boards (each weighing up to 48.5 pounds) come in stacks and need to be placed into packing boxes that are moving on a conveyor belt.
