Kort fortalt

Raumland GmbH, en tredje generations familieejet virksomhed, analyserer, filtrerer, etiketterer, flasker og sender vine til flere vinproducenter. Med over fem millioner flasker og 2.500 forskellige vine, der forarbejdes årligt, håndterer Raumland en enorm mangfoldighed i sin aftapning. For at fokusere på produktkvalitet, øge effektiviteten og reducere medarbejdernes arbejdsbyrde er familievirksomheden afhængig af en samarbejdende robot. UR20 palleterer vinkartoner for enden af aftapningslinjen, hvilket sikrer jævn drift.

Udfordring

Ikke længere manuelt palletering for enden af tappelinjen havde længe været et ønske for Raumland. I løbet af en enkelt 8-timers vagt skulle medarbejderne flytte en samlet pakkevægt på op til 40 tons. Med et bredt udvalg af vine og betydelige krav til forskellige emballager har traditionel automatisering nået sine grænser. "Hver løsningsudbyder havde altid en eller anden form for ulempe, uanset om det var fleksibilitet, systemets størrelse eller prisen," forklarer administrerende direktør Sebastian Raumland.

How they did it

Three-week welding robot integration to overcome labor shortage

No prior experience in operating robots or programming

Mr. Lin had no prior experience in operating robots or programming background. However, under the guidance of Roboenter Technology Co., Ltd., combined with the easy operation of SmoothTool welding software and the intuitive UR cobot, even without any programming experience, he could operate the cobot following the instructions on the software interface. Additionally, the after-sales support from Roboenter helped him quickly overcome initial difficulties, building his expertise and boosting his confidence in using the welding cobot.

Mr. Lin says, "I was able to operate the cobot independently in just three weeks, accelerating the welding work." Mr. Hong Zhong-Yi, the founder of Roboenter, further adds, "The operating of the cobot is a concept. For those with professional welding knowledge, combined with SmoothTool welding software, they can quickly operate independently to meet diverse welding needs."

Flexible cobot can assist personnel without professional welding backgrounds

As the labor shortage problem becomes increasingly severe, skilled welders are becoming harder to find. Introducing easy-to-use and flexible cobot can assist personnel without professional welding backgrounds in carrying out the work.

Mr. Lin says, "The biggest change brought by using the UR10e cobot is solving the labor shortage problem while significantly improving work efficiency. Unlike the past, which required long hours of welding, now we only need to set the working path of the cobot at the beginning of production, and it can work for me. Compared to before, we now save about 80% of the operation time, giving me more time to expand business and schedule orders."

The UR10e robot is easy to operate and user-friendly

He further states, "I believe the UR10e robot is easy to operate and user-friendly. It not only reduces time and costs but also produces high-quality metal products. I hope that by improving the work environment and enhancing the appeal of welding work, we can attract more people to join the welding industry and pass on this craft."

I was able to operate the cobot independently in just three weeks, accelerating the welding work.
