The international grand jury of the 2021 - 2022 A' Design Award & Competition recognizes Li Xuan and Liu Zhe for robotics, automaton and automation design

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

COMO, Italy, April 28, 2022 /DesignNewswire/ A' Design Award & Competition has confirmed the Bronze A' Design Award in the Robotics, Automaton and Automation Design category for Aris-Imr Inventory Management Robot by Li Xuan and Liu Zhe, designed for Youibot Robotics Co.,Ltd.. The result belongs to the 2021 - 2022 A' Design Award & Competition and was determined through blind peer review by an international grand jury panel of established academics, design professionals and press members, who evaluated anonymized entries against predetermined criteria.

About the Bronze A' Design Award

The Bronze A' Design Award is given to outstanding designs that showcase a high degree of creativity and practicality. It recognizes the dedication and skill of designers who produce work that stands out for its thoughtful development and innovative use of materials and technology. These designs are acknowledged for their professional execution and potential to influence industry standards positively. Winning this award highlights the designer's ability to blend form and function effectively, offering solutions that enhance people's lives and wellbeing.

Regarding Aris-Imr Inventory Management Robot

Aris-Imr is an inventory tracking robot developed for large warehouses with high storage racks. A lifting mast raises the scanning module from 15 millimeters above the floor up to a height of 15 meters, so barcodes on pallets and goods are read level by level. One robot can cover a warehouse of nearly 30,000 square meters within 11.5 hours. Tasks are sent remotely, and the work continues day and night without staff on site. A report is generated after each task to support accurate inventory planning.

Award Record

With this recognition, Li Xuan and Liu Zhe is a winner of 1 A' Design Award.

Design Details

Unique Properties
Youibot robotics and sf supply chain jointly developed an intelligent inventory tracking solution for huge warehouses with high racks. The ARIS-IMR equipped with lifting module enables to complete an autonomous inventory tracking in a warehouse of nearly 30,000 square meters with up to 15 meters of high racks within 11.5 hours.The aris-imr performs inventory tracking tasks at daytime and night continuously.
Inspiration
Traditional manual inventory tracking for huge warehouse takes a lot of time and efforts. and it often can’t keep up with the material flow speed due to low efficiency resulting in inventory data lag and chaotic management and waste of a great amount of manpower and resources. At present, there is no intelligent inventory tracking solution for high-level warehousing racks.
Research
When exploring the warehousing automation of in a large scale warehouse of a world-famous supply chain enterprise,YOUIBOT developed the ARIS-IMR (intelligent inventory tracking robot )to effectively solve the problems caused by manual inventory in the super huge warehouse, chaotic material management, low-level informationization etc,. This solution has changed the traditional inventory management and made huge difference for intelligent warehousing industry,which is a milestone in the global warehousing industry
Challenge
There are a large number of cargo locations with different specifications in a large scale warehouse of a world-famous supply chain enterprise whose max height is up to 12 meters. It is challenging for existing robot on the market to lif the sensor up to this height. The ARIS-IMR equipped with mast and scanning device succeeds in dealing with the problem of cargo locations with various of height as the ARIS-IMR ’s mast moves up to the top shelf of rack (up to 12-15m )and lowers down to position 15mm away from ground. Its scanning module covers a range of 1.8 meters and is able to scan barcodes on pallets and goods.
Realization and Technology
dynamicslam, 3D laser obstacle avoidance, large database
Operation and Interaction
The user is able to remotely issue tasks to the robot. The robot can perform tasks automatically without any labors onsite (night, weekend). Then it generates a task report and send it to the user.
Project Duration and Location
Development will begin on october 10, 2020 R&D: 1year
Specifications
The single-time running lasts over 20 hours. The scanning range covers 15 mm to 15 meters in the high rack.
