INTRODUCING SINA
8 key players within the robotics industry have joined forces to reinvent intralogistics by creating a new comprehensive concept for production assemply. SINA stands for Smart Kitting Solution for INtralogistics Automation – a solution that automates the intralogistics and material handling from inbound to the finished, delivered kitted items at the production lines / work cells JIT (just in time).

A NEW SOLUTION FOR PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENTS
The central automated buffer system, EffiMat, is equipped with two UR10e cobot arms for kitting that ensures unparralleled picking speed which enable the solution to meet any production tact time. The Piab Mini Cobot Gribber (MCG) with MX suction cup combined with the AI-based robobrain.vision system ensures industry leading pick, hit rates and uptime. The finished kit can be buffered in the Effimat until needed at the production lines. Once it is needed, the finished kitted box is retrieved automatically simultaneously with the UR10e picking the next kits.
The retrieval on the rear side of the EffiMat to the Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR) MiR250 from MiR with a TR 125 Top roller from ROEQ, ensures industry leading delivery speed without need of manual labor. The entire solution is created with safety at highest level with SICK sBot nanoScan 3, that ensures flexible and safe environment around the SINA solution. Ecosphere has as the integrator succeeded to connect the highly advanced SINA solution at industrys shortest lead time.
THE VALUES OF AUTOMATION
For the first time, an overall concept is presented, showing what is possible in intralogistics. With this, the cooporating partners want to encourage the intralogistics Industry and demonstrate the opportunities in terms of automation and what the products of those involved can achieve.
Overview of the advantages:
- Ensures fully automated material handling for picking
- Eliminates manual kit / goods transportation between various workflows
- Allows flexibility for the products to be picked, by using AI-based vision
- Eliminates picking errors and enables full track and trace
- Increases working hours to 24h/7
- Enables automated import and export of goods
- Releases critical floor space from supermarkets and other buffer locations in a production environment with up to 75%
- Increases safety for human-machine collaboration
THE BEGINNING OF STRONG PARTNERSHIPS
For the eight companies, this close type of cooporation means the beginning of new partnerships and the development of a solution that is unique to the industry. The resulting synergies ensure a high level of efficiency of the solution and the optimal utilization of the best products in the industry.
But it will not stop here. The solution will keep developing to always be the best and most innovative solution in its field.
