The application of the Xindashida SR175 multi-joint robot in the warehousing of board materials in the panel furniture industry.
Project Background
As residents’ living standards improve, consumers are placing greater emphasis on the design, environmental friendliness, and practicality of furniture. Panel furniture, with its simple and modern style, versatile functions, and excellent environmental performance, has become increasingly popular among consumers. The surge in customized orders is driving a trend toward flexible production on assembly lines, making the task of sorting and storing panels after they’re processed even more labor-intensive and complex.
Xinshida Robotics offers a board-in storage solution tailored for the panel-based home furnishings industry, meeting customers’ personalized needs and enabling furniture to feature greater diversity in materials, dimensions, and structures—thus generating substantial board-in storage tasks. Replacing manual labor with robots is the best approach to building smart workshops and enhancing enterprise efficiency.
Customer needs
The original production line has few types of items entering the warehouse, making the classification-based warehousing process straightforward.
• The boards are generally large and difficult to handle, relying on manual labor or forklifts, which results in low efficiency and a high risk of damage.
• The boards must be laid flat to prevent deformation, occupying a large amount of storage space. Mixing different types of boards leads to wasted space and low space utilization.
• The board material is susceptible to moisture and has high fire-resistant requirements; it must be stored away from light. It has stringent storage requirements and is not easy to manage.
Xinshida Solution
Proposal Description
The Xindashida SR175/3200 model is selected for the project upgrade, replacing manual warehousing and significantly boosting work efficiency. This robot occupies a small footprint and boasts strong lifting capacity, making it compatible with bookshelf-style storage systems. It can compress storage space, thereby improving site utilization.
Scheme advantages
● Digital production: Supports MES communication, data acquisition, and uploading of production information;
● Enhance work efficiency: The cycle time for the first-in, first-out (FIFO) inventory process is 16 seconds for small boards and 18 seconds for medium boards, meeting industry standards.
● Product positioning: The robotic sorting system boasts advantages such as high payload capacity and long arm reach, making it well-suited for storage locations.
Scheme Composition
The project is equipped with six sets of Xindash SR175/3200 sorting workstations.

Project Results
After the project’s trial run, the efficiency of product sorting has significantly improved.
● Lean production: Reducing sorting error rates, lowering labor intensity, improving production efficiency, and saving labor costs.
● All-in-One software architecture: integrates robot control, PLC control, and general motion control into a single system;
● Industry Advantage: The robotic sorter boasts advantages such as high payload capacity and long arm reach, enabling it to meet the demands of sorting and palletizing. The robot features an exceptionally large moment of inertia—its J6 axis has a moment of inertia as high as 196 kg·m²—thus satisfying industry requirements.
