Revolutionizing Construction Machinery: Guozi Robotics Unveils Cutting-Edge Smart Production System for TZ Group’s New Excavator Factory
Transforming Construction Machinery: Guozi Robotics Sets a New Standard in Smart Manufacturing
In the rapidly evolving realm of construction machinery, the need for innovation has never been more pressing. High-mix, low-volume production challenges can cripple efficiency and limit flexibility. However, Guozi Robotics is changing the game, recently unveiling a groundbreaking smart production and logistics system at TZ Group’s new excavator factory in China. By deploying nearly 200 diverse robots, Guozi has set a new benchmark for the industry, enhancing not only flexibility but also scalability.
Overcoming Production Challenges
The significance of this project cannot be overstated. For TZ Group, overcoming long-standing pain points such as high-mix, low-volume production has been a primary concern. Historically, these challenges resulted in inefficiencies and limited operational capabilities. By automating every step from production initiation to final outbound shipments, Guozi has re-engineered the manufacturing process, unlocking true flexibility and addressing TZ Group’s specific needs.
A Multi-Robot Collaborative Ecosystem
At the heart of this advanced system is a multi-robot collaborative ecosystem composed of:
-
Mobile-robot swarms: These agile workers execute precise transfers through dynamic path planning, ensuring operational fluidity.
-
Gantry robots and cobots: These perform complex high-mix operations without the need for time-consuming re-tooling, enabling seamless transitions between different production tasks.
-
Contact-free power rails: These guarantee round-the-clock uptime, ensuring that the factory operates without interruption.
Thanks to Guozi’s proprietary Line-Side Control System (LCS) and Management Execution System (MES), seamless data integration is achieved between shop-floor devices and plant management, paving the way for real-time decision-making.
Innovative Logistics Solutions
In addition to revolutionizing production, Guozi has also redefined logistics at TZ Group’s facility. The three-dimensional distribution network is designed to orchestrate operations with centimetre-level precision. Key features include:
-
Material classification: Parts are categorized into large, medium, small, and standard, allowing for streamlined handling.
-
INTERFACING AGVs and robots: ANTS lifting AGVs, PICKING multi-layer robots, and heavy-duty carriers automatically interface with racks, pallets, and bins, enhancing efficiency.
-
AI-driven Resource Control System (RCS): This intelligent brain coordinates hundreds of AGVs, supports multiple call-for-parts modes, and pairs dynamic storage with smart picking. The result is end-to-end visibility from warehouse to workstation, making tracking and management effortless.
Proven Experience in the Industry
Guozi’s extensive experience with industry leaders such as Zoomlion, XCMG, and Sany lends credibility to this ambitious project. The installation at TZ Group is a testament to Guozi’s capacity to deliver comprehensive, future-ready smart manufacturing and intelligent logistics solutions for the construction machinery sector.
This development marks a significant shift in the digital transformation of construction machinery. With Guozi Robotics leading the charge, the future of production and logistics in this sector looks brighter than ever.
Conclusion
The collaboration between Guozi Robotics and TZ Group exemplifies what’s possible when cutting-edge technology meets strategic vision. By overcoming common production challenges and reimagining logistics, Guozi is not merely setting a standard but is also shaping the future of the industry. As the demand for flexibility and scalability continues to rise in construction machinery, watch for Guozi to remain at the forefront of this digital revolution.
