Case Study: Usinatech boosts productivity and lowers automation costs with Robotiq Machine Tending

Usinatech lowers cobot implementation cost by 50% with Robotiq

Usinatech, a manufacturer of automotive drivetrain components, faced a growing labor shortage and pressure to increase competitiveness on its production floor. To overcome this challenge, the company turned to vendor Robotiq and its Machine Tending Solution to automate their processes.

Robotiq implemented a solution using collaborative robots and grippers, which Usinatech found to be user-friendly and cost-effective. The results included a significant increase in operator productivity, allowing one operator to manage three CNC stations instead of one. Furthermore, Robotiq's solution had an implementation cost that was at least 50% lower than that of traditional industrial robots, leading to a faster return on investment for Usinatech.
