Case Study: Fu Zhuan Steel achieves faster high-mix laser welding with Universal Robots' UR12e cobot

Fu Zhuan Steel cuts robot training from over a month to 1–2 days with Universal Robots

Fu Zhuan Steel, a sheet metal fabrication specialist in Taiwan, faced challenges from labor shortages and the demands of high-mix, low-volume production. Their conventional industrial robots had a steep learning curve, requiring over a month of training and limiting operational scalability. To overcome this, they turned to Universal Robots for a novel automation solution.

By implementing the UR12e collaborative robot from Universal Robots, Fu Zhuan Steel dramatically simplified operations. The cobot's intuitive hand-teaching function allowed operators to master its use within one to two days, slashing training time from over a month. This solution from Universal Robots enabled rapid adjustments for custom orders, improved production efficiency, and quickly filled labor gaps, allowing the company to meet tight delivery schedules and strengthen its market competitiveness.
