Case Study: Sensata Technologies boosts sensor production by 20% with Universal Robots collaborative automation

Sensata Technologies boosts production by 20% with Universal Robots

Sensata Technologies, a leading manufacturer of sensor-rich solutions, faced challenges with labor-intensive and precision-dependent manufacturing processes at their Malaysian plant. Their manual assembly and handling tasks introduced variability and inefficiencies. To address this, Sensata Technologies partnered with Universal Robots, moving away from traditional industrial robots in favor of UR3e and UR5e collaborative robots for tasks like machine tending and part assembly.

The solution implemented by Universal Robots involved deploying dozens of easy-to-program cobots that were quickly integrated into existing production lines. These UR cobots improved precision, boosted safety, and freed up operators. The deployment significantly increased production efficiency by 20%, leading to a notable rise in daily output. Furthermore, Universal Robots' training enabled Sensata to build a self-sufficient in-house automation team to maintain and further develop their robotic solutions.
