DFI Solution Provides the Most Reliable Brain
and Cerebellum For Giant Automated
Guided Vehicles in LCD Panel Factories
The LCD panel, which once was one of the "Two Trillion & Twin Star",
is one of Taiwan's significant symbols of electronics manufacturing.
With the trend of panel generation becoming larger and larger, in the
production line of large-size panels, handling technology is also
relatively important. The introduction of robots can significantly
reduce the factory's labor demand and effectively reduce operating
costs. The giant automated guided vehicle (AGV) that transports tons
of panels is essential, and it is a fundamental technical indicator in the
robotics industry. DFI combines the EC511-SD used to control large
AGVs and the EC70A-SU used in full-time navigation to assist Taiwan's
major panel manufacturers in meeting their needs and achieving
smart manufacturing.

Everything in the world starts small and then
becomes bigger, and robots are inevitable. Giant
uncrewed trucks used to carry bulky goods are
indispensable and are necessary for LCD panel
manufacturers. Because of the unmatched operating
complexity, its control and navigation system must
be divided and ruled to ensure safe operations.
Over the past few decades, LCD technology has
continued to develop, and production lines have
naturally been updated. Substrate sizes have
continued to increase, and panel sizes have also
continued to grow. In the 1980s, the maximum size
was 8.4 inches; now, it can be 120 inches. The
operational challenges brought about by the rapid
increase in size and weight have made the
production line of LCD panels a key field for
industrial automation applications. From glass
packing, glass unpacking, LCD packing, LCD
unpacking, stacking glass panel, and the entire
factory transmission equipment, the comprehensive
introduction of robots solves the pain that comes
from manual handling.
It also stabilizes quality and improves product yield,
and has the 24-hour operation to improve economic
benefits. It can also solve control problems and
reduce personnel costs.
Automated guided vehicle (AGV) systems are now
widely used in automated warehouse logistics
systems, smart factories, smart manufacturing, and
other fields. One of Taiwan's few large-scale LCD
panel manufacturers adopted giant uncrewed trucks
that can handle panels weighing more than 30 tons
and meet transportation and storage needs across
the factory. Due to this giant uncrewed trunk's
complex structure and the need to continue the
control management software used in the past, the
computing brain responsible for "navigation" and the
cerebellum for the full-time “control” must be
divided and conquered and will facilitate subsequent
software development.
