The Smart Manufacturing Prowess of SIASUN Heavy Payload Mobile Robots

Stepping into the steel jungle of a heavy-duty logistics facility, one is immediately struck by the sheer power of industrial behemoths. SIASUN heavy payload mobile robots, navigating through the facility, shoulder the Herculean task of automatically transporting oversized and ultra-heavy items. With their exceptional flexibility, safety features, and efficiency, these robots have effectively addressed the longstanding issues of high labor intensity, low operational efficiency, and elevated safety risks associated with traditional methods.

In recent years, the global manufacturing sector has been rapidly shifting towards automation and intelligence, particularly in factory logistics systems. As one of the earliest domestic players to venture into heavy payload mobile robotics, SIASUN—a company founded on innovation—has been flexing its muscles in the “heavy-duty” arena. These “big-brained” giants are driving intelligent, high-end upgrades across multiple industries, including construction machinery, automotive and parts manufacturing, metal processing, aircraft production, port logistics, and energy storage.

Titans in Key Sectors of the National Economy

High-Speed Train Frame Maintenance

From 2010 to 2015, SIASUN supplied over 50 heavy payload mobile robots of various types to high-speed train maintenance bases nationwide for frame repair, establishing itself as one of China’s pioneers in heavy payload mobile robotics.

Automotive Stamping Workshops

As design cycles in the automotive industry accelerate, stamping workshops face increasing demands for frequent and efficient die changes on their presses. SIASUN’s heavy payload mobile robots, equipped with piggyback and chain conveyor mechanisms, facilitate the transfer of dies and metal sheets between workstations and presses. Some of these robots boast an impressive 60-ton carrying capacity for die transportation.

Heavy-Duty Truck Assembly

In 2018, SIASUN introduced heavy truck assembly line mobile robots. Utilizing dual-vehicle linkage technology, these robots replace traditional drag chains, assisting in the assembly of truck chassis and complete vehicles with a payload capacity of 10-20 tons.

Port Logistics

Since 2020, SIASUN’s heavy payload mobile robots have gone global, supplying large batches to the world’s largest transshipment hub ports. These robots automate the transfer of shipping containers, with each mobile robot designed to handle a payload of 65 tons. Employing a range of advanced technologies, they not only adapt to complex on-site conditions such as high temperatures and salt spray but also overcome a series of operational challenges including uneven terrain and impact forces from hoisting operations.

Energy Storage Industry

In 2024, SIASUN tailored heavy payload mobile robots for the unique demands of the energy storage sector. These robots feature waterproof designs, outdoor operability, and ultra-low profiles capable of handling heavy loads. They offer a comprehensive unmanned transport solution for the energy storage industry, combining heavy-load handling with logistics distribution throughout the facility.

What Makes SIASUN Heavy Payload Mobile Robots a Market Favorite?

Load Capacity

The hallmark of heavy payload mobile robots is their impressive carrying capacity and technical sophistication, with payloads ranging from several tons to hundreds of tons. SIASUN ensures optimal performance through multi-dimensional safeguards in navigation control, safety protocols, fail-safe mechanisms, emergency stops, and uniform load distribution. As multi-wheel control technology for heavy loads has matured, China’s capability for autonomous design and manufacture of heavy payload mobile robots is now almost unrestricted by weight limitations.

Navigation Methods

SIASUN’s heavy payload mobile robots employ a variety of navigation techniques, including natural contour navigation, magnetic guidance, inertial navigation, laser guidance, visual navigation, and base station navigation. Many of these navigation sensors used in these systems are proprietary SIASUN developments. In practical applications, SIASUN selects the most suitable navigation method based on specific operational conditions. For complex environments, multiple navigation systems are integrated to ensure reliability and enhance precision in movement and positioning.

Safety Features

Safety is paramount for heavy payload mobile robots operating in industrial facilities and outdoor environments. SIASUN’s designs adhere to ISO3691-4 standards, with safety levels engineered to PLD&E classifications. These robots are equipped with emergency stops, contact and non-contact protective devices (safety certified), operational indicator lights, audio alarms, brakes, stall protection, and actuator safeguards, ensuring comprehensive production safety.

Outdoor Protection Technology

With the increasing prevalence of outdoor applications, SIASUN’s outdoor heavy payload mobile robots are engineered to withstand rain, snow, and dust. The design process comprehensively addresses environmental factors such as reliable outdoor navigation and safe charging, guaranteeing efficient and dependable outdoor operations.    

Customization Capabilities

In the design process of SIASUN’s heavy payload mobile robots, careful consideration is given to the practical on-site requirements of users. This includes factors such as the center of gravity of workpieces, size constraints of the mobile robots, slope-climbing capabilities, safety measures for oversized workpieces, and various cargo transfer and docking methods. The mobile robot bodies and auxiliary mechanisms can be customized based on client requirements, ensuring maximum compatibility with the user’s manufacturing processes, thereby enhancing quality and efficiency for the end-user.

The future applications for heavy payload mobile robots are vast and diverse. Bolstered by cutting-edge technologies like AI, SIASUN continues to endow these robots with ever-smarter “brains” and keener “eyes.” The company remains committed to exploring effective ways to integrate heavy payload mobile robots across various industries. We believe these ‘big-brained behemoths’ will soon make their mark across an even wider range of industries!
