About The Customer
Shenzhen Yeefung Robotics Technology, founded in 2014, is a leading provider of comprehensive Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and revolutionary parking solutions in China. The company develops cutting-edge AGV systems featuring Advantech’s wireless AGV solutions. In combination with evolving technologies, such as sensors, wireless networks, and laser-based navigation, Yeefung has expanded the versatility of its AGV systems for use both in smart factories and smart parking. These solutions have proven to be more than just basic automation tools, providing comprehensive monitoring and flexibility for smart factory AGVs.
The Challenge
Yeefung Robotics Technology, a leading provider of comprehensive Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and revolutionary parking solutions in China, was seeking comprehensive hardware and AGV controller solutions. The company wanted to leverage the benefits of Industry 4.0 to ensure that robotics and AGVs work at maximum efficiency with virtually no downtime, leading to reduced costs and increased profits. However, to ensure comprehensive monitoring and flexibility, smart factory AGVs must perform multiple arithmetic operations at speeds that traditional programmable logic controllers (PLCs) simply cannot handle.
The Solution
Advantech provided Yeefung with a range of solutions, including its wireless AGV solutions and the PC-based UNO2272G embedded automation computer. The UNO-2272G, equipped with an Intel® Atom™ J1900 processor, wireless communication module (PCM-24S2WF), and CANbus module (PCM26D2CA), can receive commands from a central dispatch system and quickly process the data collected from an AGV’s anti-collision sensors, 360-degree laser transmitter, and magnetic nail scanner to rapidly calculate the AGV’s parking location and travel path. Other Advantech solutions used include the EKI7710E-2C managed Ethernet switch, WISE-5121 Wi-Fi AP/Client, and FPM-7061T VGA industrial monitor. These solutions allow Yeefung to produce state-of-the-art AGV systems featuring a wide range of smart factory capabilities, such as instruction issuing, travel track and position monitoring, system health diagnosis, and automatic scheduling.
Operational Impact
  • Factory operators benefit from increased productivity and labor savings.
  • The combination of industrial-grade hardware with innovative software eliminates the need for compatibility testing and ensures immediate applicability for diverse applications.
  • The solutions provided by Advantech help the factories of yesterday quickly transform into the factories of the future, bringing enhanced efficiency, reduced costs, and stronger growth.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Reduction of labor force (50-90%)
