Case Study: JTEKT boosts assembly efficiency with FANUC robots

JTEKT boosts assembly efficiency 45% with FANUC robots

JTEKT North America, a global leader in automotive systems manufacturing, faced challenges in optimizing lengthy assembly procedures, overcoming labor shortages, and improving inefficient processes. To address this, they partnered with FANUC America Corporation to automate their production lines using FANUC's M-710iC/50 and M-10iD/10L articulated robots for machine tending and assembly tasks.

By integrating FANUC's automation system, JTEKT dramatically simplified its processes. The solution resulted in a 45% increase in labor efficiency, eliminating waste and reducing the number of workers required on an assembly line from ten to just two. FANUC's dedicated support team was also credited with successfully integrating over 30 pieces of equipment from various builders into a single, efficient system.
