Case Study: SMEW Textile Machinery triples production with Universal Robots cobots

Robots Help Triple Production Rates And Deliver Roi In Less Than A Year

SMEW Textile Machinery Pvt. Ltd., a textile machine manufacturer in Ahmedabad, faced labour shortages, space constraints, and the need to improve productivity and precision as it aimed to grow from an MSME into an SME. To address these challenges, it turned to Universal Robots and deployed a UR10 cobot for pick-and-place and machine-tending tasks.

With the Universal Robots UR10, SMEW Textile Machinery improved ease of use, safety, and operation in constrained spaces without fencing. The result was a 300% increase in production, from 30 pieces per week to 80–90 pieces per week within about eight months, with ROI achieved in less than a year.
