Ground Rail Robot
A ground rail robot is an intelligent transport and collaboration system that runs on fixed rails for precise movement and efficient work. Through coordinated rail-body design, it breaks the range limits of traditional mobile devices and performs automated transport, loading/unloading and precise docking along preset routes.
Zhiqi Smart Line Upgrade: Ground Rail Robot Integration Case
Background
As a supplier of core components for high-end heavy equipment, Zhiqi faced low efficiency in heavy workpiece transfer, insufficient multi-station docking accuracy, and high safety risks from manual operations. To meet annual capacity needs of 2,000 sets, Zhiqi partnered with Feimi to introduce a heavy-load ground rail robot system, upgrading material transfer and station coordination to full-process automation.
Value
Efficiency: Replaced manual forklift transfer, reducing cycle time per workpiece from 12 min to 3.5 min; daily output +40%;
Accuracy: Positioning accuracy reaches ±0.5mm, enabling error-free docking between heavy parts and machines; assembly yield up to 99.8%;
Cost: Reduced 6 heavy-material handlers, saving about RMB 1.2M/year; modular design cuts O&M cost by 30%.
