Agilebot Robots applied in Cosmetic Manufacturing

l  The rise of the cosmetics economy presents a broad range of application scenarios for robots.

l  Agilebot now has implemented applications of many cosmetic production scenarios for higher efficiency and precision.

With the acceleration of intelligent manufacturing, smart factories and unmanned workshops are continuously emerging. An increasing number of cosmetic brands and manufacturing enterprises are beginning to explore the path of intelligent production transformation in the cosmetics industry.

According to market.us data, global cosmetics market reached to $295.5 Billion in 2023, and is prospected to $570.5 Billion in 2033, growing at the CAGR of 6.8%.

The rise of the cosmetics economy presents a broad range of application scenarios for robots. Then the booming cosmetics industry has led to a growing demand for increasing production automation rates and efficiency, as well as shortening product development cycles. More and more industrial and collaborative robots are becoming the top choice for cosmetic manufacturing enterprises.

Challenges of Cosmetic manufacturers meet

Under traditional production models, enterprises face numerous challenges:

Ø  High cleanliness level requirements for the production environment

Ø  Complex production processes with high quality standards

Ø  Short production cycle time overall in the workshop

Ø  Low labor efficiency and high rate of operational errors

Ø  Rising labor costs and difficulties in recruitment

What can Agilebot do?

Cosmetic products have extremely high requirements in terms of production quality, efficiency, precision, and cleanliness. Agilebot now has implemented applications in many specific production scenarios such as flaw detection, automatic assembly, material loading/unloading, and plate arranging etc., cosmetic categories varying for lipsticks, eyebrow pencils, essential oils, and others, promoting efficient and high-precision manufacturing of cosmetic production lines.

High speed flaw detection with AI for better quality

The variability in cosmetic quality often leads consumers to have a negative impression of the brand, reducing brand loyalty and turning to other competitors. Traditional quality inspection still has many issues, such as missed inspections, incorrect inspections, and inconsistent standards. In terms of flaw detection, industrial robots have a significant advantage in conducting more precise and effective quality control for various cosmetics objects.

 Compared to the traditional fixed detection of multi-position camera lenses, Agilebot robots equipped with industrial lenses for high-speed, continuous, and multi-angle imaging, AIGC automatically generating inspection points, and intelligent algorithms autonomously planning the robot's motion path, ensure no missed inspections and a high detection rate. The Agilebot intelligent “flying” inspection solution seeks for good quality control, can quickly respond to the needs of product and production line switching, and has higher production flexibility characteristics.

Fully Automated Production Line

Agilebot robots also have applied in injection molding fields, achieving fully automated production from material loading/unloading from the injection molding machine, automatic visual detection, plate arranging and coding, all steps with only one robot in a station.

For the inspection process, by obtaining real-time images of online products, the system determines whether they meet requirements for dimensions, defects, stains, and pattern shifts etc. Agilebot SCARA robots are equipped with suction cup variable distance grippers, which can adjust production rhythms according to different production line requirements and adjust plate arranging through deformation components. Compared to manual operations, production efficiency is increased by 50%.

 The workstation can dock with the previous production process, easily integrated with production line, ensure product quality by promptly removing non-conforming products (NG). At the same time, it can also automatically dock with the subsequent AGV automatic system, reducing manual intervention throughout the process, and achieving fast and accurate material transmission within the workshop.

Easy Flexible Switching for Multiple Products

Agilebot SCARA robots, equipped with dual claw, cooperate with circular vibration discs and vision systems to achieve automated loading/unloading of lipstick plush heads, demonstrating high flexibility and adaptability.

 Through high-speed communication with the vision system via the TCP/IP protocol, the robot can judge the quantity and status of materials in real-time and achieve efficient data exchange with the control system through Socket communication. The 2D vision positioning correction function further enhances the accuracy of robot grasping, ensuring the stability and reliability of materials during the loading/unloading process. This application benefits the customers by reducing labor costs, improving product quality and production efficiency.

Why Agilebot?

Thanks to Agilebot's self-developed single chip multi-axis integrated motion control technology (SCIMC), which obtained full intellectual property rights in many countries, Agilebot robots are more user-friendly, flexible, efficient, and precise.

Agilebot industrial robots have demonstrated excellent performance in manufacturing applications. With high-quality components from well-known industry brands such as Tamagawa motors, Leaderdrive reducers, as well as self-developed control system, Agilebot robots have successfully achieved outstanding performance parameters and reliable stability. And even, with the help of HyperRing technology, Agilebot cobots can provide users with a smooth drag experience and highly sensitive collision detection capabilities.

Besides, Agilebot also obtains solid certifications for robot application, such as Cleanliness Certification of ISO Class 4, IP67 Protection Certification, MTBF 50,000 Hours Certification, etc., which shows compatibility and reliability of Agilebot products.

Agilebot’s unwavering goal is to consistently provide clients with high performance, top-quality, cost-effective, and user-friendly products that empower their industrial operations.
