Case Study: Magneti Marelli boosts assembly line speed by 25% with Universal Robots cobots

UR Cobots Reduce Error-Rate and Increase Assembly Line Speed by 25% at Magneti Marelli

Magneti Marelli Slovakia, an automotive components manufacturer, needed a long-term way to replace monotonous, repetitive pick-and-place tasks on its assembly line and reduce error rates caused by manual handling. The company was looking for a solution that could improve consistency while keeping employees safe and engaged.

Universal Robots provided UR5, UR5e, and UR10 cobots, paired with an OnRobot RG2 Collaborative Gripper, to automate fitting small lead-in parts into circuit boards. The implementation increased assembly line speed by 25%, eliminated quality issues, and delivered ROI in less than a year, while also making the workplace safer and freeing employees from repetitive work.
