Automated Material Handling Cart : Design and Development Based on Karakuri Principles (English)
Abstract [sv]

Denna rapport undersöker implementeringen av Karakuri-automation för att förbättra materialflödet hos Parker Hannifin i Borås. Målet var att utforma en kostnadseffektiv och enkel automatiserad lösning för av- och pålastning av material med hjälp av en AMR med tillhörande vagn. Genom att tillämpa Lean-filosofin, Kaizen och Karakuri-principerna strävade projektet efter att minimera slöseri med tid och resurser samt att öka produktionseffektiviteten.

Förstudien identifierade viktiga förbättringsområden, inklusive begränsningar i utrymme vid produktionsstationerna och behovet av ergonomiska justeringar. En detaljerad kravspecifikation utvecklades, olika koncept framställdes och utvärderades för att hitta den mest effektiva lösningen.

Den slutliga lösningen visade potential för betydande effektiviseringar genom att uppfylla de flesta krav och erbjuda förbättrad hantering av materialflödet. Dock kvarstår vissa utmaningar, särskilt i hanteringen av höjdvariationer mellan olika stationer. Rapporten avslutas med rekommendationer för vidareutveckling och implementering av lösningen i den befintliga produktionsmiljön.

Abstract [en]

This report examines the implementation of Karakuri automation to improve the material flow at Parker Hannifin in Borås. The goal was to design a cost-effective and simple automated solution for loading and unloading material using an AMR with associated cart. By applying Lean philosophy, Kaizen, and Karakuri principles, the project aimed to minimize waste of time and resources, as well as increase production efficiency.

The preliminary study identified key areas for improvement, including space constraints at production stations and the need for ergonomic adjustments. A detailed specification of requirements was developed, and various concepts were created and evaluated to find the most effective solution.

The final solution showed potential for significant efficiencies by meeting most requirements and offering improved handling of material flow. However, some challenges remain, particularly in managing height variations between different stations. The report concludes with recommendations for further development and implementation of the solution in the existing production environment.
