Automotive OEMs
See how we’re reimagining possibilities for automotive OEMs
Ford Motor Company
The challenge: Ford Motor company needed to accelerate production processes and elevate efficiency while empowering and protecting its workers.
How we helped: Our UR10 cobots were deployed to help automate highly complex tasks like greasing camshaft followers, filling engines with oil, and running engine checks for leakage.
Results:
- Decreased repetitive tasks for employees
- Collaborative robots seamlessly integrated into production process
- Significant increases in production speed and efficiency
- Flexible deployment solution is easily moved around shop floor
Toyota Motor Hokkaido
The challenge: Toyota Motor Hokkaido needed to transform to better leverage automation across its factory floor with the aim of significantly enhancing efficiency and streamlining operations.
How we helped: Our UR5e, UR10e & UR16e cobots were deployed at Toyota’s Tomakomai plant to improve its diff-pinion (round gear wheels) loading process.
Results:
- Built a cobot system without a vision camera by utilizing the built-in F/T sensor
- Improved operation rate from 92% to 98%
- Deployment done in-house without external experts
SEAT Componentes
The challenge: SEAT Componentes faced huge challenges in unloading 18,000 machined gears every day at its plant in Spain. This critical task helps ensure quality control and lets the business meet “just in time” delivery.
How we helped: Our UR10e cobots helped fully automate unloading processes to drive increased speed, efficiency and reduced errors. All while protecting and empowering workers
Results:
- Automated unloading of 18,000 gears a day
- Supported communication with AMR vehicles to transport parts
- Reduced errors and improved worker safety
- Enabled 3D print gripper fingers for increased precision
