In the manufacture of popular household appliances such as coffee grinders, a number of prerequisites determine production success. For instance, only clearly structured, efficient and target-orientated processes will result in the required levels of production reliability. Achieving this ambition becomes significantly more realistic using automation, as market leader Eugster/Frismag AG can testify following its adoption of 14 FANUC LR Mate industrial robots and FANUC ZDT (Zero Down Time), which now enable the continuous automated assembly of a coffee grinder every 7 seconds.
Erkul Cosmetics in Turkey benefits from a myriad of quality and efficiency benefits provided by various high-performance FANUC automation products. This fast-growing cosmetics enterprise is looking to set a benchmark for manufacturing in its sector, supported by the competitive gains that FANUC solutions provide.
When the COVID-19 pandemic swept across Europe, the need for effective particle filters to protect people from the virus was clear to see. FANUC, along with numerous other suppliers, sprang into action, in this case establishing a fully automated production cell to accelerate the manufacture of particle filters at the SIGMA Research & Development Institute in the Czech Republic.
Moving from labour-based to automated production operations can sometimes appear daunting. And yet, with the right technology partner on-board, processes such as automated machining and assembly can come to realisation with relative ease, instantly delivering new levels of productivity and reliability.
