Optimizing Internal Logistics at SEAT with AGVs
A blue light activates at 5 a.m. in the engine warehouse. It’s one of the 125 robots starting its route in one of SEAT’s workshops in Martorell, making up to 2,800 trips daily and transporting over 23,000 parts per day.
Optimizing Internal Logistics at SEAT with AGVs
Geprom is involved in the AGV project, handling the design, configuration, and real-time route monitoring setup for the AGVs. By integrating the MES system Legato, over 125 AGVs and 7,000 variables are monitored every 3 seconds, resulting in an increase of OEE from 87.5% to 95%. Additionally, AGV traffic and the delivery of gearboxes, engines, and components traveling through factory workshops have been optimized. Throughout the project, technical support is provided 24/7, and continuous improvement meetings are held to further optimize the factory’s internal logistics.
The company estimates that this robotic transportation system not only facilitates and optimizes workers’ tasks but also reduces production time by 25%. The autonomous vehicles transport engines, gearboxes, shock absorbers, and mirrors and can carry up to 1,500 kg. Through a barcode system, they validate the part they need to load and request access via a sensor that opens warehouse doors.
