EDGE Automation was founded on, and continues to grow because of design creativity, prowess and standardization. Our configurable Pre-Engineered designs are completed and detailed to be a drop fit to our customer’s facility. However, our greatest successes result in innovation partnering with our customers.

Robot will populate the storage locations based on predefined sorting rules as laid out in the software interface. This mode is most effective as long there are enough available storage locations for the nested product. The robot will continue to operate until all storage locations have been filled. If any position is filled, the operator must simply request to exchange the cart and the process will continue with the new empty cart.
Robot will reference the “User Defined Sorting Location” parameters. In this mode the operator will use the HMI to define each storage location within the robotic system,and use a drop-down menu to populate the product to be downstacked at each location. The operator will choose the specific part families, or common panel dimensions, to be placed on defined carts within the system. This allows the operator to choose to keep high volume panels in a storage location closer to the CNC outfeed to improve overall cell cycle.
Robot will reference any storage location parameter inputted into the system, as well as populate the remaining storage locations automatically. This allows for some flexibility between the two modes and provides a good balance for the operator. This allows the operator to identify the high-volume panels and pre-define sorting to improve overall cycle time, while minimizing the amount of customization required, as the robot will populate the remaining storage locations.
