Case Studies

PICK & PACK - ROBOT TOOL DESIGN

▼

Client: Global Contract Packer

Brief: Design & develop cobot cell to improve throughput on confectionery packing line

Result:

Implemented Sawyer cobot with multi pick PnP tooling and product feed system
Fully 3D printed, vacuum integrated tooling
Increased line throughput from 10 to 12 products/min
Released 3 heads from the line
Next project to introduce 2nd robot underway

PACKING LINE SIMULATION

▼

Client: US Pharmaceutical Company
‍
‍Brief: Assess packing line for inefficiencies and use simulation to demonstrate ideal cobot cell with expected productivity improvements

Result:

Assessed & simulated production line to determine bottlenecks
Simulated ideal cell layout using Visual Components
Demonstrated reduced head count by 25% and increased throughput by 20%
Simulation used in final decision to integrate cobots

COBOT DEMONSTRATION DEVELOPMENT

▼

Client: Multi-National Logistics Company
‍
Brief: Develop exciting cobot demo unit to highlight client's Industry 4.0 capabilities at conferences and sales pitches.

Result:
