On December 5th, a robotic accident occurred in the Amazon automated warehouse. A total of 24 employees were sent to the hospital in the accident. One of them was seriously injured and another 30 workers were on the scene.
The cause of the accident was an automated machine that pierced a can of a falling bear spray and released a large amount of concentrated capsaicin, which caused the worker to breathe hard.
The incident occurred at a warehouse in Robbinsville, a suburb of Trenton, New Jersey. The accident site has been properly handled and the warehouse has resumed operations.
Afterwards, Amazon's data in the UK was also turned over. From 2015 to 2017, ambulances were called to the Amazon warehouse more than 600 times.
The only way for people and machines
It is understood that the Amazon warehouse area of ​​about 120,000 square meters, there are 3,000 employees and a variety of robots, such as transport robots, storage robots and robotic arms that grab and take.
It is true that the number of 3,000 employees is already very large, and in reality the robot is the main labor force of the Amazon warehouse.
The New York Times reported that Amazon has used more than 100,000 robots in its global warehouses to help move and organize products.
Amazon can build such a large-scale automated warehouse. In addition to the objective factors of the market, there is also an artificial reason that its group CEO Bezos is a loyal robotic propeller. He not only continued to invest in robotics, but also acquired Kiva Systems, a warehouse robot company.
In recent years, Amazon has deployed more than 30,000 Kiva robots in its distribution centers, greatly simplifying the warehousing workflow, 2-4 times the efficiency of traditional logistics operations, and achieving an accuracy rate of 99.99%, greatly increasing Amazon's warehouse processing. effectiveness.
In fact, logistics is inevitable towards automation and intelligent development. Not only Amazon, but also a variety of automated industrial robots are becoming more common in factories around the world.
As machine usage increases, it is inevitable that accidents that did not occur before will occur. So how to avoid it? In addition to strengthening the prevalence of pre-job training, equipment codes, workshop management regulations, and more, the stability and intelligence of the machine is the key to determining whether this emerging technology can be accepted by society.
The domestic storage robot industry has increased steadily
In China, the warehousing robot market is in a period of rapid development. Giants such as Ali and Jingdong also vigorously deployed smart warehousing.
For example, Ali's Wisdom No. 1 warehouse in Tianjin can realize the linkage and efficient operation of 500 robots. It is the smart storage scene in which the most robots in Asia are put into use.
Jingdong has a lofty goal in warehousing and logistics robots, that is, to create unmanned warehouses, all of which are unmanned from all aspects of goods storage, storage, picking, packaging, sorting and loading.
At present, Jingdong unmanned warehouse has realized thousands of robots in the 40,000 square meter warehouse, and the work efficiency of sorting 200,000 orders in a single day. In the unmanned warehouse of Jingdong Shanghai, there are 300 storage robots, which can not only pick up, scan, transport, and deliver goods, but also automatically identify the information of the express delivery, complete the scanning and weighing of the package, to the most Delivery can be completed in 1 second.
In addition to the express delivery industry, the application of warehousing robots in manufacturing is becoming more widespread. Compared with the traditional AGV, the intelligent warehousing robot emphasizes the autonomy of the system and supports various advanced navigation methods such as two-dimensional code navigation, laser navigation, SLAM navigation, etc. It can independently calculate the optimal path and cooperate with each other. The current trend of smart manufacturing.
Whether it is foreign or domestic, the smart storage robot market is booming. Therefore, the safety of robot applications should be paid more attention, especially from the source of stability, reliability and applicability of robots.
This diameter of this series glass bead is two or three times bigger than regular beads. The surface part beyond paints is higher than regular beads; hence the reflectivity of road marking has been increased, especially in rainy, foggy areas.
The diameter is 850-1400mm (20-14mesh) with ≥80% of roundness. The special coating on the surface of glass bead can improve the adhesion between paint and glass beads, thus the longevity can be increased.
The glass bead can be produced based on the standard of countries or areas, such as EN1423/1424, AASHTO M247, BS6088, JIS R3301 and KS L2521 etc.
