Case Study: Fabridor achieves higher sanding quality and productivity with Vention automation

How Fabridor implemented a dual-cobot sanding line to improve quality, productivity and employee retention

Fabridor, a woodworking manufacturer, was struggling with inconsistent MDF door sanding quality, labor shortages, and high employee churn from repetitive manual sanding work. The company needed a long-term automation solution to improve output consistency, productivity, and retention.

Vention implemented a custom dual-cobot sanding line using a FANUC CRX-10iA/L robot, MachineMotion controller, and sanding/dust extraction tooling. The solution was operational within days and delivered a 31% productivity increase in six weeks, with the potential to exceed 40%, while reducing labor needs by 50%, improving sanding consistency, and helping reassign skilled workers to more rewarding tasks.
