[PRNewswire] Chery Automotive Deploys 100+ ForwardX AMRs

-- Depolyed in phase one of its Super Factory

CHICAGO Aug 11, 2023 /PRNewswire=연합뉴스/ -- Chery Super Factory, a state-of-the-art global automobile manufacturing plant, has partnered with ForwardX Robotics, a leading provider of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), to implement a groundbreaking smart automotive manufacturing solution[https://www.forwardx.com/case/chery-super-one-factory ]. The collaboration aims to streamline operations, improve efficiency, and enhance automation in the assembly workshop of the factory.

Chery is a pioneer in the industry, being one of the first to adopt vision-based AMRs for automated material movement in the assembly workshop. In this first stage of deployment, more than 100 AMRs have been integrated with the factory's Logistics Execution Systems (LES) software to enable unmanned material movement across various assembly lines.

In the post-installation line, ForwardX's Flex[https://www.forwardx.com/flex-amr ] 300-L AMRs transport materials from the staging area to designated workstations. In the interior line and door line processes, ForwadX's Lynx[https://www.forwardx.com/lynx-amr ] U1000 autonomous tugger AMRs integrate into the SPS system and transport materials from the staging area to the line-side workstations. In the chassis line process, Chery Super Factory reuses old racks and employs ForwardX's Apex[https://www.forwardx.com/apex-amr ] 2000 autonomous forklifts, promoting an eco-friendly approach and reducing waste.

Since implementing ForwardX Robotics' smart automotive manufacturing solution, the Chery Super Factory has successfully lowered the logistics cost per vehicle by an impressive 10%. Moreover, the system keeps the line-side over-supply rate below 15% and the assembly error rate of less than two per-thousand vehicles. By effectively managing inventory levels and eliminating assembly errors, the new distribution process minimizes the possibility of production line disruptions, resulting in a 200% increase in efficiency and a significant reduction in operational costs.

By leveraging ForwardX Robotics' innovative solutions, Chery accelerates its transformation into a global technology company, remaining committed to its goal of creating an intelligent, automated, and digitized logistics factory.
