Why humanoids for factories

Even highly automated lines retain labor-intensive gaps. KHE targets variability, skilled-operator dependency, and safety/quality risks with a perception-to-policy pipeline.

Typical bottlenecks

  • SKU/process changes that break fixed automation
  • Manual steps requiring judgment and adaptation
  • Quality rework from missed exceptions
  • Safety constraints that reduce throughput

What we improve

  • Higher stability under real-world variation
  • Reduced reliance on individual craftsmanship
  • Measured KPIs tied to process outcomes
  • Deployment pathway from PoC to rollout

Solutions

Use-case driven PoCs with measurable KPIs and a clear integration plan.

Bin Picking & Kitting

Vision-based picking, sorting, and kit preparation under variation.

Assembly Assist

Screw/insert/press assists with exception detection and recovery.

Visual Inspection

Defect detection, classification, and downstream routing.

Palletizing / Depalletizing

Mixed loads handling with process-aware motion planning.

Material Handling

Transfer, buffering, and line-side delivery with safety constraints.

Process Monitoring

Perception layer that turns shop-floor reality into actionable data.

Platform

Perception → task understanding → adaptive motion → simulation-first validation → deployment monitoring.

Perception

Recognize parts, tools, jigs, and state changes from camera inputs.

Task Understanding

Classify process stages, detect exceptions, and trigger recovery.

Adaptive Motion

Constraint-aware control for paths, speed, and safety envelopes.

Simulation

Pre-validate collision, reachability, cycle time, and risk scenarios.

Integration

PLC/MES/WMS + safety sensors + robots/grippers + networks.

Ops Loop

Logs, replay, monitoring, and iterative improvement for rollout.

PoC Program

A structured pathway to validate one process quickly—then decide the next step with evidence.

Objective Validate feasibility and performance range for a single process with measurable KPIs.
Typical duration 2–6 weeks (depends on process complexity and data readiness).
Customer provides Process description, safety requirements, samples, access or recorded videos, and KPI agreement.
KHE delivers PoC plan, demo scenario, performance report, integration proposal, and risk/requirements list.
Example KPIs Success rate (%), cycle time (s), rework rate, safety events / stops.
Outputs Demo video, test logs, improvement plan, and next-step roadmap for deployment.

PoC scope levels (example)

  • PoC-Lite: fit assessment + requirements + risk list
  • PoC-Standard: test cell PoC + KPI measurement + integration outline
  • Pilot: shop-floor integration + safety + operating procedures

Process selection checklist

  • Clear input/output definition and measurable KPI
  • Variation level that breaks fixed automation
  • Safety constraints well-defined (zones/sensors)
  • Data availability (videos, samples, timing)

Updates

Short, consistent updates build credibility. Aim for at least one post per month.

Quick info

Manufacturing-first humanoid deployment: perception, simulation, integration.

What to include

  • Process name + step description
  • KPIs: success rate, cycle time, quality impact
  • Safety constraints: zones, sensors, interlocks
  • Preferred timeline for PoC kickoff
Tip: Add 1 short hero loop (8–15s) and 2 GIF demos. It instantly upgrades perceived maturity.
