On the 18th, a picking demonstration using AMR was held at a self-built logistics test bed.
[인더스트리뉴스 조창현 기자] As autonomous driving technology develops, interest in related solutions is increasing in the market. Accordingly, logistics robot solution company Flotic (CEO Lee Chan) held a picking demonstration on a self-built test bed on the 18th to reveal the actual self-driving robot it owns for the first time.

Plotik announced on the 19th that logistics industry officials attended the site to directly experience the robot’s functions and see how workers cooperate with the robot to perform efficient picking tasks.
Plotik CEO Lee Chan said, “We are very grateful that the industry has shown a lot of interest in Plotik solutions even though it has been just over two years since the company was founded. From the beginning, Plotik has always been on-site to solve the difficulties faced by logistics centers.” “We have been thinking about and developing solutions with voices as the top priority,” he emphasized.
CEO Chan Lee added, “Flotic will continue to be a partner that provides practical solutions closest to customers.”
300 pyeong test bed prepared
The test bed where the demonstration was held consists of a space of approximately 300 pyeong that Plotik recently prepared to test robot functions and work methods under the same conditions as actual logistics center sites for the purpose of stabilizing robot movement and optimizing the work environment. .
CEO Lee Chan said, “The Flotic test bed aims to be quickly introduced and operated in the actual customer environment by building an environment with the same shelf rack size, spacing, and location as each customer site and implementing various work scenarios.” “The AMR market is in a relatively early stage and customers are having difficulty introducing it, so we plan to create an environment identical to that of our customers and use it to indirectly experience the effects of introduction through simulation before formal introduction,” he said.

At the event, Plotik introduced a ‘zone picking’ method using an autonomous robot. Zone picking is suitable for environments where large volumes of goods must be handled in a small area, and workers only handle work within a designated area.
Specifically, two workers implemented zone picking work with six robots in an environment of 100 pyeong. Plotik said that the zone picking method can increase work productivity by reducing worker travel time and allowing workers to focus only on picking work.
Seunghoon Lee, product planning team manager at Flotic, said, “Logistics center picking methods are divided into order picking and total quantity picking depending on work assignment, and methods for performing picking include guide picking and zone picking.” He added, “For efficient work, each environment must be “It is important to find the right picking method, and Plotik understands the customer’s work environment and order characteristics from the introduction discussion process and suggests an appropriate picking method,” he explained.
Meanwhile, at the demonstration held by Flotic, product commercialization and business plans for 2024 were also announced. Plotik plans to conduct field demonstration projects with large domestic logistics centers, including Lotte Global Logistics, by the end of this year and then pursue full-scale commercialization in the first half of next year.
