In the manufacturing industry, unpacking of soft packaging has always been a labor-intensive and high cost process. The large weight and quantity of goods, coupled with the three shift work mode, result in high labor costs. At the same time, problems such as difficulty in recruiting workers and poor working environments are also troubling many enterprises. A well-known large home appliance manufacturing enterprise is also facing these challenges. In order to break through the situation, it has reached a cooperation with Luowei Technology and introduced an innovative AI+3D visual guidance soft package unpacking solution.
Project pain points
Oversized stack type: The project site needs to handle oversized stack types (2m * 2m * 2.3m), which cannot be met by conventional solutions, posing severe challenges to the design of the solution and camera functionality
Space limitations: The limited space on site places higher demands on equipment installation, layout, and later operation and maintenance
Environmental light interference: There is a skylight on the top, which causes sunlight scattering and significant environmental light interference, seriously affecting visual recognition, positioning accuracy, and stable operation
High cost-effectiveness challenge: Customers have strict requirements for the cost-effectiveness of projects, which requires us to strictly control costs and maximize benefits while ensuring stable and reliable system performance
