Automation of the experience and intuition of skilled workers by robots! Successful stable supply of high-quality products without relying on experts.
We would like to introduce a case study of the "collaborative robots" handled by Universal Robots. GKN Drive Japan Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the UK-based GKN company that supplies automotive drive system components for 50% of cars worldwide, was considering automation through robots while facing chronic labor shortages. In order to ensure a stable supply of high-quality products, there were challenges with traditional machines, such as the difficulty of automating the experience and intuition of operators, as well as safety concerns. However, they decided to implement "UR robots" as they could solve these issues. 【Overcoming Automation Challenges】 ■ Reproducing the tactile sense of skilled workers with robots ■ Freeing tired workers from overtime ■ Achieving 24-hour operation ■ Applying robot automation in multiple processes *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
