Case Study: ASSA ABLOY achieves higher productivity with Robotiq Machine Tending Solution

ASSA ABLOY boosts productivity 20% with Robotiq

The customer, ASSA ABLOY, faced a severe skills gap at its lock assembly factory in Bucharest, where low unemployment made hiring manufacturing workers extremely difficult. To overcome this hiring challenge, they initiated an automation revolution and partnered with vendor Robotiq for a Machine Tending Solution.

The solution from Robotiq involved implementing a Universal Robots UR5 equipped with a Robotiq 2-Finger Adaptive Gripper and Wrist Camera for a machine tending process. This integration, completed in less than a week, allowed the in-house team to automate a welding operation. The results included a 20% increase in productivity, full-time machine operation, and a doubling of production capacity.
