Yamaha Motor to Present at 2022 International Robot Exhibition under the theme "Transportation" — Adding value to transportation from microns to kilometers with new proposals —

Yamaha Motor is focusing on "transportation of goods," which is the most important and frequently required item for the realization of smart factories. The Company is working to add new value by adding functions to and connecting transportation, which used to be a time that did not directly contribute to production. At the 2022 International Robot Exhibition, we will offer solutions that enable transportation in various environments, from precision positioning of μ to movement between devices, processes, and km between factories.

A transport platform that dramatically increases line productivity. At the International Robot Exhibition, a demo machine that helps eliminate bottlenecks by branching production lines and overtaking processes with the newly developed LCMR200 traverse unit will be unveiled for the first time. In addition, the Company will exhibit the utilization of non-contact power supply that takes advantage of linear transfer and an example of combination with a line scan camera as a demonstration machine.

This is a 3D picking robot that contributes to labor saving in kitting work by dividing multiple types of bolts into small lots. With image analysis technology, highly accurate picking work and management can be performed immediately without using program settings and CAD data.

This is a transport robot that connects production lines. As an important solution that will lead the next generation of FA, this machine will flexibly respond to automation at the production site. In addition to free movement, this is a high-performance autonomous mobile robot equipped with stopping accuracy that enables delivery of cargo on a conveyor.

This is an automatic guided vehicle under the concepts of Simple, Smart, Strong. To specify the running route, just stick "vinyl tape". No rail burial work or programs such as mapping are required. Since the unit can be adapted to tough environments that conventional AGVs are not good at, it is also used at our casting sites that use casting sand.

This is an all-weather robot arm with excellent heat and cold resistance, water and dust resistance, and high vibration resistance. Combined with AI image analysis, the unit offers a robust solution to automate outdoor movement and work.

This newly designed and developed EV is used for an autonomous transportation service, “eve auto”, realizing "automation from today". With autonomous driving technology and reliable vehicle body development technology, the unit can be operated even when outside including tackling slopes, travelling between buildings, and under rainy conditions. Transport routes are flexibly editable on web browser by customer. Group company, eve autonomy, inc., will start providing this service from this summer.
