Case Study: Scott Fetzer Electrical Group achieves 20% productivity gains with Universal Robots cobots

Mobile Robot Colleagues On Wheels Increase Productivity And Worker Safety At Scott Fetzer Electrical Group

Scott Fetzer Electrical Group, a high-mix, low-volume electronics manufacturer in Tennessee, needed a more flexible way to automate production and better use existing machinery. Universal Robots (UR) cobots, including UR5 and UR10 models, were chosen to help the company handle tasks that were difficult to automate with stationary robots while improving competitiveness and worker safety.

Universal Robots implemented a mobile fleet of collaborative robots on wheeled pedestals to support tasks such as wire cutting, pick and place, epoxy dispensing, machine tending, and life-cycle testing. The solution improved production by 20%, reduced repetitive and potentially hazardous work for employees, and helped Scott Fetzer shorten implementation time and win back work from lower-cost overseas competitors.
