Heavy-Duty Automatic Transmission | Pull-Based Buffering + Kitting + AGV Supply

Xi’an, China

Background

Xi’an Shuangte Intelligent Transmission (264 mu, Xi’an High-tech Zone) builds heavy-duty hydraulic automatic transmissions (AT) and targets a modern, dust-free, smart factory. The assembly line needed a pull-based material supply system that could flex with mixed sequencing.

Solution

ENGOAL delivered four integrated subsystems coordinated on one logistics management platform: → Line-side automatic pull-based buffering system → Kitting picking and sequencing system → AGV line-feeding and delivery system → Warehouse management system

Physical layout:

  • Kitting picking area and large-parts handover area
  • Automatic pull from warehouse to line-side buffering lines for manual assembly
  • Reserved space for future high-bay expansion

AGV supply routes: → Kitting delivery / large-parts delivery / standard-parts delivery / finished-goods delivery

Key equipment: → AGVs / robot fast-storage system / conveyor sorting / PTL (pick-to-light) system

Results

  • Flexible, sequenced material supply matched to mixed-model assembly.
  • Line-side materials delivered on demand, on time, and in correct sequence — eliminating line stops and wrong/missing picks.

Industry Value

Reference for heavy-duty transmission and off-highway transmission plants building a dust-free, flexible assembly logistics from scratch.
