Case Study: an industrial manufacturer doubles production and improves safety with Automation Solutions Inc. and FANUC robots

a industrial manufacturer more than doubles production with FANUC in 2 weeks

An industrial manufacturer faced significant challenges due to the manual handling of heavy lead material, which created serious ergonomic and safety concerns for its operators and led to productivity limitations. To address this, they partnered with FANUC America Corporation and system integrator Automation Solutions Inc. for an automated robotics solution.

Automation Solutions Inc. engineered a custom system utilizing a FANUC SCARA robot and an M-710 Series robot to automate the handling and pressing of lead stacks. This solution removed operators from direct contact with the hazardous material and dramatically streamlined the workflow. The results were profound: production more than doubled from 1,200 to 3,000 units per day with only one press running, while also creating a safer workspace and providing employees with valuable new automation operator skills.
