The paper proposes a feasibility analysis for the adoption of a system for picking up the finished product from the assembly lines with autonomous mobile robots (AMR). An historical review of industrial internal handling equipment is initially proposed, followed by a theoretical section concerning the software and hardware technologies of autonomous mobile robots (AMR), followed by a section that includes the choice of robot (and supplier) for the analysis. An overview of enabling technologies for Industry 4.0 is also examined, with a specific focus on the Internal Logistics sector. The central body of the report focuses on the feasibility analysis performed at Lowara (Montecchio Maggiore) for the collection of finished products in the Residential Centrifugal pump assembly lines. The thesis is based on an analysis of daily production in the period January-June 2022, in order to size a hypothetical fleet of AMR for the withdrawal of the finished product. Subsequently, a cost analysis associated with alternative 0 (AS IS) and the alternatives proposed (TO BE) is presented, with a comparison based on the reading of economic-financial indicators. Finally, the focus is placed on the benefits in working and economic terms related to the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies (both in generic terms and in correlation to the specific case), as an integration of the case study.
L'elaborato propone un'analisi di fattibilità per l'adozione di un sistema di prelievo del prodotto finito dalle linee di montaggio mediante robot mobili autonomi (AMR). Viene proposta inizialmente una rassegna storica dei mezzi di movimentazione interna industriale a cui segue una sezione teorica riguardante le tecnologie software e hardware presenti all'interno dei robot mobili autonomi (AMR), a cui segue una sezione che include la scelta robot (e del fornitore) per l’analisi. Viene portata in esame anche una panoramica delle tecnologie abilitanti per l’Industry 4.0, con una focalizzazione specifica per quanto riguarda il settore della Logistica Interna. Il corpo centrale dell’elaborato si concentra sull'analisi di fattibilità eseguita presso Lowara (Montecchio Maggiore) per il ritiro dei prodotti finiti nel reparto di montaggio pompe Centrifugo Residenziale. La tesi si articola su un’analisi della produzione giornaliera nel periodo Gennaio-Giugno 2022, al fine di dimensionare un’ipotetica flotta di AMR per il ritiro del prodotto finito. Successivamente viene presentata un’analisi dei costi associata all’alternativa 0 (AS IS) e delle alternative proposte (TO BE), con un confronto basato sulla lettura di indicatori economico-finanziari. Infine viene posto il focus sui benefici in termini lavorativi ed economici relativi all’adozione di tecnologie Industry 4.0 (sia in termini generici che in correlazione al caso specifico), come integrazione del caso studio.

Abstract
The paper proposes a feasibility analysis for the adoption of a system for picking up the finished product from the assembly lines with autonomous mobile robots (AMR). An historical review of industrial internal handling equipment is initially proposed, followed by a theoretical section concerning the software and hardware technologies of autonomous mobile robots (AMR), followed by a section that includes the choice of robot (and supplier) for the analysis. An overview of enabling technologies for Industry 4.0 is also examined, with a specific focus on the Internal Logistics sector. The central body of the report focuses on the feasibility analysis performed at Lowara (Montecchio Maggiore) for the collection of finished products in the Residential Centrifugal pump assembly lines. The thesis is based on an analysis of daily production in the period January-June 2022, in order to size a hypothetical fleet of AMR for the withdrawal of the finished product. Subsequently, a cost analysis associated with alternative 0 (AS IS) and the alternatives proposed (TO BE) is presented, with a comparison based on the reading of economic-financial indicators. Finally, the focus is placed on the benefits in working and economic terms related to the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies (both in generic terms and in correlation to the specific case), as an integration of the case study.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
