Case Study: Assars improves powder coating quality and efficiency with Universal Robots

Assars cuts material consumption by 25% with Universal Robots

Assars, a Swedish surface treatment and powder coating company, faced challenges with manual touch-up work in its finishing process. This led to inconsistent quality, operator fatigue, and difficulty scaling production. To solve this, Assars collaborated with vendor Universal Robots to implement an automated solution using their UR20 collaborative robots.

The solution from Universal Robots provided high-precision automated touch-ups, which improved coating consistency and ergonomics. This resulted in a 25% reduction in material consumption, a lower CO2 footprint, and a better working environment, while also supporting the company's goals for future automation and scalable production.
