Case Study: New Engineering Works achieves 40% growth and 24x7 manufacturing with Universal Robots cobots

Collaborative Robots Deliver 40% Growth and Round the Clock Manufacturing at New Engineering Works

New Engineering Works, an automotive component manufacturer in India, needed a way to keep up with rising demand for hydraulic, pneumatic, and engine components while working within limited shop-floor space. The company wanted an agile automation solution to add a third shift and support round-the-clock production, and it chose Universal Robots’ UR10 cobots for CNC machine tending.

Universal Robots helped New Engineering Works deploy its first cobot in 2016, followed by a total of 6 UR10 cobots within 18 months. The cobots fit between CNC machines, enabled 24x7 manufacturing, reduced cost per component, and freed workers for higher-value tasks such as quality checks and inspection. The result was a 40% growth in production, improved productivity and efficiency, and a strong ROI for the SME.
