Case Study: an industry leading life science company achieves automated high-volume medical device assembly with Automation NTH

Industry Leading Life Science Company cuts cycle time 63% with NTH

The customer, an industry leading life science company, faced a significant challenge in automating the high-precision assembly of a Class II medical device, a process they had been unable to solve for seven years. The vendor, Automation NTH, was engaged to assess a failed proof of concept and develop a viable automation solution for this delicate operation.

Automation NTH implemented a solution using a rigorous risk management methodology that included rapid prototyping and the creation of digital twins for simulation. This approach successfully mitigated risks, compressed the project schedule, and led to a prototype that passed its factory acceptance test in just four months. The results included a 63% reduction in cycle time, an OEE consistently near 100%, and the ability to handle high-volume production with minimal operator involvement, ultimately providing a successful automation system where others had failed.
