Industry · Automotive and Components
Machine tending, handling and flow for OEM and Tier supply plants.
Automotive and component plants run to takt time. Automation must protect cycle consistency, traceability and operator safety at the same time.
- Component infeed 01
- Conveying and sequencing 02
- Robotic machine tending 03
- Inspection / traceability station 04
- Transfer to next process 05
- Packing and dispatch 06
Industry challenge
What limits these plants.
- Machine loading and unloading tied to operator availability
- Material handling between cells and processes
- Assembly support operations that are repetitive
- Conveyor and transfer requirements between stations
- Traceability across the production route
