Interlinked Material Flow
KUKA Automates Material Handling at a TV Manufacturer
At TPV Displays Polska, 22 autonomous mobile robots from KUKA handle internal material transport. The solution is designed to stabilize production, reduce the workload on employees, and make the material flow more efficient.
At the TPV Displays Polska plant in Gorzów Wielkopolski, Poland, KUKA has automated material handling in collaboration with automation specialist Saicon. A fleet of 22 autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) transports TV panels and components between the warehouse and ten assembly lines, returns empty packaging, and independently optimizes its routes.
The robots work alongside the existing stationary industrial robots and take on physically demanding transport tasks. The fleet is controlled by central software that assigns transport orders, monitors operations in real time, and optimizes utilization. Thanks to inductive charging, the vehicles operate 24/7 with virtually no downtime.
“The combination of stationary robots and AMRs boosts the efficiency of supply to the assembly lines, increases flexibility, and integrates material flow and warehousing into a high-performance overall system,” says Grzegorz Benda, Technical Director at TPV Displays Polska. Łukasz Sobczak, Head of the Software Development Team at Saicon, adds: “The seamless integration of the new technology into TPV’s existing processes was the key challenge. Our solution fully automated the intralogistics and made it reliably predictable.”
KUKA also sees the project as evidence of the potential of autonomous mobile robots. “This implementation demonstrates that autonomous mobile robots are already increasing production stability today—through reliable processes, greater transparency in material flow, and better management of intralogistics complexity,” says Mateusz Nowakowski, AMR Business Developer at KUKA Polska.
