Operators collect similar components required for the assembly process from the bins kept in a common place in the shopfloor. Operators collect components of one type, followed by another set of components of a different type, continuing this pattern sequentially. This sequential operation increases cycle time and at times result in wrong count of components being picked resulting in over-supply or under-supply of components. This disrupts the assembly line operations thereby delaying production, impacting overall operational efficiency. The issue is particularly pronounced for high volume small components such as clamps, nuts/bolts etc (10 to 24 or more).
Despite deploying measures like Bin labelling, laser based counting and manual checks, the inconsistencies persist due to human error and the repetitive nature of the task. We are seeking scalable, cost-effective, and innovative solutions that can enable accurate multi-component dispensing in a single go. This will ensure delivering right number of components to the assembly line and the operations continue without disruptions. The goal is to enhance operational efficiency, reduce delay, and support a more reliable and agile assembly process.
Awards:-
Reward money is paid in exchange of legally acquiring the solution, implementing it to solve the problem and meeting the success criteria. Milestones for paying the reward money would depend upon the complexity of challenge and maturity of the proposed solution, which would be discussed with the solver as soon as the proposed solution is selected by us.
