Client Overview
PT Tri Centrum Fortuna, a subsidiary of the Adyawinsa group, is a leading automotive components manufacturer operating a large stamping press facility in Indonesia. Established in 2021, the factory spans 20,000 square meters and handles high volumes of automotive parts across three shifts. The client sought an automation solution to optimize pallet transportation, reduce labor costs, and improve safety across their operations.
The Problem
Before automation, PT Tri Centrum Fortuna relied on manual labor to transport automotive components weighing between 500-800 Kgs using hand pallets. This process was labor-intensive, requiring 12 operators across three shifts, and presenting safety risks. The company needed a solution that would reduce manpower dependence, improve operational efficiency, and ensure a safer working environment.
Our Solution: MAG1000 Pallet Lifter AMR
Botsync deployed the MAG1000 pallet lifter AMR to automate the transportation of automotive components from 17 pick-up stations to 7 designated drop-off points within the facility. Operators manually fill the pallets at the pick-up stations. Once full, they use a tablet to trigger the AMR, which transports the pallets to the selected drop-off locations.
Key Features of the Solution:
Autonomous Navigation & Safety: The MAG1000 AMR is equipped with an intelligent navigation system and safety sensors. A purple focus light in the front warns oncoming forklift drivers, and LED indicators on the sides signal different states - green for navigation, purple for docking, and orange for idle. This ensures safe and smooth operation in a dynamic factory environment.
Workflow Automation: Botsync’s no-code software platform syncOSTM automates the workflow for pallet pick-up and drop-off. The operation is easily triggered by operators using a tablet interface, reducing manual intervention and simplifying the process.
Auto-Charging Feature: The AMR automatically returns to its home station when idle or when the battery drops below 25%, ensuring 24/7 uninterrupted operations.
Impact on Operations
The deployment of the MAG1000 Pallet Lifter AMR delivered significant improvements to the client’s operations:
Reduced Labor Costs: The number of workers required for pallet transportation was reduced from 12 to 3, leading to significant cost savings without sacrificing productivity.
Enhanced Safety: The automation reduced physical strain on workers and minimized risks associated with manual pallet handling, contributing to a safer work environment.
Brand Lift: The deployment of AMRs catches the eyes of clients visiting the factory, boosting PT Tri Centrum Fortuna’s brand image and reinforcing their commitment to innovation.
Conclusion
The deployment of Botsync’s MAG1000 AMR at PT Tri Centrum Fortuna’s facility has transformed their pallet transportation process. By reducing labor costs, enhancing safety, and improving operational efficiency, the automation has allowed the company to scale its operations while maintaining high safety and productivity standards. This highlights the value of adopting AMRs in automotive manufacturing.
