Overall, the implementation of RobCo has helped our 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.
Increasing the machine capacity of Frank Präzisionsteile GmbH
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 solution, 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 times when the shortage of skilled workers is severely affecting the industry, it is extremely difficult to attract more workers to work at night shifts. The search for two more employees for this 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. 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 enabled 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.
Increasing productivity and profitability by using RobCo
After implementing RobCo solution, the company saw immediate improvements in its production capacity and efficiency. Output rose from 90 parts per day to 140 parts per day/night. Capacity utilization has been increased from around 8-10 hours to 24 hours, which means that the machines are now in operation around the clock. These achivements resulted in improved productivity and profitability for the company.
Significant improvement in operational processes
Frank Präzisionsteile GmbH is optimistic about the future development of its automation solutions. Planned developments include a fixed and rapid orientation of the robot on the ground to further improve accuracy and reliability.
