Case Study: Focus Auto Design boosts trimming speed and efficiency with OCTOPUZ

Focus Auto Design Inc - Customer Case Study

Focus Auto Design Inc, a Calgary-based manufacturer of OEM appearance accessories, needed to move beyond manual robot programming as it expanded production. After purchasing a used ABB 4400 robot, the company found that teach-by-hand programming was too slow and resource-intensive, limiting its ability to keep up with demand.

OCTOPUZ provided offline robot programming and simulation software to fully automate the trimming process, letting Focus Auto Design design, test, and revise paths in 3D before running them on the robot. With OCTOPUZ, the company achieved more accurate trimming, faster programming, improved safety, and a major productivity boost—cutting robot path setup from over a day to about an hour and ultimately delivering products up to three times faster.
