Intelligent Logistics Robot Solution for Efficient Plant Operation & Warehouse Automation

THiRAbot

THiRA-UTECH’s logistics robot solution ‘THiRAbot’ can realize logistics automation system beyond dependence on simple manual operation. In addition, we can maximize cost reduction by supplying proven products and stable operating system through partnership with the world’s leading robot experts.

WHY THiRAbot?

– Continued rise in minimum labor costs (Minimum labor costs in 2018 rose 16.4% year-on-year)
– Difficulty in securing logistics workforce due to reduction of labor population and aging workforce
– Limitations of fixed logistics facilities / Low responsiveness to changing work methods, inefficient space utilization

Benefits

Labor cost reduction

– Labor cost savings due to 24-hour operation of logistics robots and reduced manpower (44% reduction in labor costs – Company A)

Securing stability

– Minimize errors and secure work stability by applying AGV to loading, picking and shipping processes

Space utilization

– Flexible logistics line changes in logistics robots allow for temporary changes in volume due to increased space utilization
(40% increase in shipment and 22% increase in space utilization – Company A)

Case Study

Case 1

Automated Logistics Transport System using Logistics Robot (AGV)

Target Customer
