CUSTOMER STORY

Introducing robotic machine tending to remove repetitive tasks

Challenge

Spector & Co. was looking to remove repetitive and dull tasks from their manufacturing floor so employees could be reallocated to more fulfilling tasks. They also wanted to improve production by introducing more efficient processes.

Solution

Robotic machine tending was introduced to boost ROI, enhance production efficiency, and free employees for more fulfilling tasks. In just weeks, a compact robot cell with an industrial safety enclosure and area scanner was implemented. Featuring the Universal Robots UR10e, OnRobot dual-gripper, and a custom-built cart with locating pins, this solution is perfect for flexible production lines like Spector & Co.'s.
