The Sochaux plant of Group PSA is very satisfied with the results delivered by the UR10s. The operators have improved ergonomics and safety at their workstations. “Thanks to the robot’s arrival, we have been able to lower the cost price of our cars while also improving the geometric dimensioning and tolerance (GD&T) up to 10%, “said Grandjean.
The cobot also has an excellent operational yield: no vehicle degradation has been observed with over 200,000 cars produced, and no failure has been reported in the first year. Group PSA is now planning to deploy the UR cobots at other production sites as well.
