Guozi Robotics provides a range of automation for TZ Group greenfield factory - The Robot Report

Guozi Robotics has implemented an advanced intelligent production and logistics automation system at TZ Group’s new greenfield factory, deploying nearly 200 diverse robots to automate the entire excavator manufacturing process and logistics network. This comprehensive automation addresses TZ Group’s challenges related to high-mix, low-volume production and limited operational flexibility, streamlining every step from production to final shipment. The system includes heavy-duty ANTS robots, picking robots, mobile robot swarms with dynamic path planning, gantry robots, collaborative robots, turnover units, and custom devices, all integrated to perform complex operations without retooling delays. The automation project runs on Guozi’s proprietary Line-Side Control System (LCS) and manufacturing execution system (MES), facilitating seamless data integration between shop-floor devices and plant management. Guozi’s AI-driven robot control system (RCS) coordinates hundreds of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) with centimeter-level precision, enabling multiple call-for-parts modes and dynamic storage combined with smart picking
