Case Study: Life Line Emergency Vehicles cuts finishing time 30-40% with FANUC robots and GrayMatter Robotics

Life Line Emergency Vehicles cuts finishing time 30-40% with FANUC America Corporation

Life Line Emergency Vehicles, a manufacturer of customized ambulances, faced challenges related to a difficult labor market and the physically demanding nature of manually sanding vehicle bodies. To address this, they partnered with vendor FANUC America Corporation and its authorized system integrator, GrayMatter Robotics, to implement an automated solution using a FANUC M-710 series robot.

The solution involved deploying a robotic arm system configured for sanding and finishing. This automation, implemented by GrayMatter Robotics, resulted in a 30-40% reduction in process time per vehicle. The company was also able to reassign its skilled employees to higher-priority and higher-satisfaction roles on the manufacturing floor, enhancing both efficiency and labor flexibility.
