Case Study: Harrison Manufacturing increases throughput with Rethink Robotics’ Sawyer

Harrison Manufacturing Increases Throughput by Deploying Rethink Robotics’ Sawyer

Harrison Manufacturing, a custom plastics injection molding manufacturer, needed to automate repetitive cutting and other monotonous jobs that could cause cumulative stress disorders and strain employees’ wrists. As a small manufacturer with limited factory space, it found traditional automation difficult to use. Rethink Robotics’ Sawyer was used to address the challenge.

The Harrison Manufacturing team deployed Sawyer in a degating task in just a few hours and saw immediate improvement in the quality of jobs on the factory floor. With Rethink Robotics, Harrison Manufacturing reduced the risk of repetitive stress injuries, was able to run more shifts to meet customer demand, and improved throughput and consistency of part production.
