Development and Application of Intelligent Bumper Matching and Sorting System

This paper mainly introduces the intelligent bumper matching and sorting system which has been developed by Dongfeng Nissan in Wuhan factory. Based on the full color difference measurement of robot, the system designs advanced software algorithm, which realizes the precise matching of car body and bumper color difference value for the first time in the industry. Through the analysis of the time and the enumeration of the path comparison, the system picks out the optimal bumper which ensures the FIFO and delivery efficiency. In the application of the project, through equipment and process innovation, for example flexible fixture, AGV automatic sorting, error and mistake proofing system, and so on, we solve a variety of issues brought by new technology. The system greatly improves efficiency and reduces costs, and highlights design concept of the flexible and intelligent.
