[Collaborative Robot Implementation Case] A case study of the introduction of collaborative robots at Aido Industry Co., Ltd., which manufactures automotive parts through aluminum die casting and machining in Obu City, Aichi Prefecture.

Japanese companies double their productivity after introducing collaborative robots!

Aido Industry, which manufactures automotive parts OEM using aluminum die casting and machining in Obu City, Aichi Prefecture, faced the challenge of low profit margins despite increasing sales due to a chronic labor shortage. While devising countermeasures, they encountered UR robots at a trade show, realized they could develop the system in-house, and began the implementation process. Now, 40 UR robots are in operation. ■ Challenge: There is a labor shortage, and labor costs such as the salaries of temporary employees are high, resulting in no increase in profits despite rising sales. Traditional industrial robots incur system costs, making it difficult to take the plunge into implementation. ■ After implementation: Over three years, 40 UR robots were introduced, doubling productivity. Furthermore, by incorporating human intelligence into the robots, it became possible to further increase productivity. * For details on the decisive factors for robot implementation and horizontal expansion to other processes, please see the linked page.

● The production time for casting prototypes can be shortened! Since model production is not required, the time needed to create prototypes, which previously took about a month, can be significantly reduced. ● Model costs can be reduced! By directly producing sand molds from 3D data, there is no need for model production costs. If changes to the model are necessary, they can be addressed by modifying the 3D data. ● Similar products with different shapes and dimensions can be prototyped simultaneously! With one molding process, different products with similar shapes or varying dimensions can be molded at the same time. This allows for the verification of multiple types in a short period.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact to the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If you require a detailed technical explanation, please contact us.
