Guozi Robotics and TZ Group Launch a State-of-the-Art Logistics System for Construction Machinery

Revolutionizing Logistics in Construction

In a groundbreaking initiative, Guozi Robotics, a premier name in smart manufacturing, along with TZ Group, has successfully implemented an advanced intelligent production and logistics system at TZ Group's newest factory. This ambitious project marks a significant leap forward for the construction machinery sector, setting a new standard in efficiency and automation.

The Project Overview

Guozi Robotics has introduced nearly 200 diverse robots to automate various stages of excavator production and logistics at the TZ Group facility. This innovative setup is designed to address longstanding production challenges, particularly in high-mix/low-volume environments, by fully automating the entire workflow—from the initial production phase to the final shipment of products.

Enhanced Production Flexibility

A key feature of this advanced system is the multi-robot collaborative ecosystem that Guozi has established. At each production station, mobile robot swarms execute precise component transfers using dynamic path planning. Additionally, a matrix of gantry robots, collaborative robots (cobots), and other custom devices has been ingeniously designed to perform intricate operations without causing delays that are typically associated with re-tooling. With a focus on constant operation, contact-free power rails ensure 24/7 uptime for maximum productivity.

Moreover, the deployment of Guozi's self-developed Line-Side Control System (LCS) and Manufacturing Execution System (MES) guarantees seamless data integration between various on-site devices and overarching management systems, thus enhancing operational efficiency.

Streamlined Logistics Management

The logistics framework designed by Guozi Robotics is both innovative and precise, featuring a three-dimensional distribution network tailored for the factory. Distinct materials are categorized based on size—large, medium, and small parts—allowing for a systematic approach to logistics management. Heavy-duty lifters and multi-layer picking robots work in harmony to automatically interface with racks and pallets, ensuring nothing is misplaced in the busy environment of modern manufacturing.

At the core of this logistics ecosystem is Guozi’s AI-powered Robot Coordination System (RCS), which allows for centimeter-level accuracy while coordinating hundreds of Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs). This intelligent system supports various order-picking methodologies and optimizes dynamic storage capabilities, providing comprehensive visibility from the warehouse to the workstation.

Proven Industry Expertise

Guozi Robotics is no stranger to excellence in automation, having already deployed its heavy-duty ANTS robots and PICKING robots in several global lighthouse factories for notable enterprises such as Zoomlion, XCMG, and Sany. The successful implementation at the TZ Group facility stands as the latest testament to Guozi’s competence in delivering complete, future-focused smart manufacturing and intelligent logistics solutions tailored specifically for the construction machinery sector.

Conclusion

As Guozi Robotics forges ahead with advanced robotic solutions, the partnership with TZ Group exemplifies the potential of technology in transforming traditional industries. This project not only enhances productivity but also sets a pathway for the future of construction equipment manufacturing, promising a new era of efficiency and innovation. Guozi Robotics remains committed to pushing the boundaries of technology, aiming to hold a top-tier position in global mobile robotics and smart manufacturing fields.
