Case Study: MDS Manufacturing achieves higher output and weld quality with FANUC robotic welding

MDS Manufacturing boosts welding efficiency 30% with FANUC

MDS Manufacturing, a leading industrial equipment supplier, faced challenges in increasing production speed, improving weld quality, and alleviating its manual welders from mundane tasks. To address this, they partnered with FANUC America Corporation and its system integrator, Acieta, to implement a FastARC robotic welding cell featuring a FANUC ARC Mate robot.

The solution from FANUC and Acieta streamlined production by consolidating operations. This resulted in a 30% reduction in operating time for some parts, a 20-50% efficiency improvement, higher quality with less rework, and the new ability to accurately forecast production lead times. The implementation allowed MDS to enhance output without replacing workers, instead freeing them to focus on more skilled projects.
