Success story with Frank Präzisionsstelle: Increasing machine capacity

The Frank Präzisionsteile GmbH produces a wide range of milled and turned parts for various industries, including aerospace, mechanical engineering and medical technology. The company, founded in 1980 in Mundelsheim, uses cutting-edge manufacturing technologies and highly qualified employees who ensure the best possible quality.

Shortage of skilled workers affects production capacity

Prior to implementing RobCo, the company faced significant challenges that affected its production capacity and efficiency. The difficulty of finding qualified employees for the night shift was one of the main issues. At a time when the shortage of skilled workers is severely affecting industry, it is extremely difficult to attract additional workers to work the night shift. The search for two more employees for this shift proved almost impossible. As a result, it was difficult to maintain production capacity around the clock and to cope with increasing demand.

Success factors: Flexibility and rapid implementation

The decision for RobCo was based on various factors, which made the solution an optimal choice for the company. The flexibility of the robot was critical as it could be used for a wide range of parts and applications. In addition, the simple programming of the robot enables rapid implementation and adaptation to new production requirements. RobCo offered a tailor-made solution that met the company's specific needs and enabled efficient automation.

“Overall, the implementation of RobCo has helped the company to increase its machine capacity and optimize production utilization. The flexibility, simplicity, and efficiency of the robotic solution have led to a significant improvement in operational processes. With RobCo, the company has found a cost-effective entry into automation that offers maximum flexibility and scalability.”
