ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION

We analyse manual production steps and integrate robotics, gripping technology, controls and safety through to production ramp-up.

01 · INITIAL SITUATION

FROM PRODUCTION PROCESS TO INTEGRATED ROBOT CELL.

We develop the complete system sequence: part presentation, processing, quality inspection, safety, operation and restart.

01

PROCESS

Evaluate automation feasibility on a sound basis

Variants, tolerances, cycle time, manual exceptions and quality characteristics are assessed using real components and process data.

02

SYSTEM

Select the right robotics and peripherals

The cobot or industrial robot, gripper, vision system, feeding technology and safety concept are derived from the task. Selection is manufacturer-independent.

03

OPERATION

Engineer fault handling and restart

Operator guidance, diagnostics, recipe changes, residual quantities and defined recovery procedures determine future availability.

02 · TECHNICAL SYSTEM CONCEPT

MECHANICS, ELECTRICS, SOFTWARE AND SAFETY ENGINEERED AS ONE SYSTEM.

Mechanics, electrics, software and safety are developed as an integrated system. Interfaces, responsibilities and acceptance criteria are documented transparently throughout the project.

01

Feasibility check using process data, components and an economic viability range

02

Cell layout, gripping technology, sensors, robotics and safety concept

03

Mechanical design, electrical engineering, PLC and robot programming

04

Assembly, commissioning, documentation, training and production support

03 · SYSTEM & SERVICE

AUTOMATION THAT PERFORMS IN DAILY PRODUCTION.

You receive a production-ready system with coordinated mechanics, electrics, software and safety. We support the production ramp-up and remain available for service, maintenance and technical modifications.

01

CONCEPT

Technical solution with clearly defined boundaries

The degree of automation, customer interfaces, variants and required preparatory work are clearly defined before the project starts.

02

SAFETY

Safeguarding concept matched to the application

Access points, operating modes, speeds and collaboration assumptions are technically assessed and integrated into the controls.

03

SOFTWARE

Clear states and guided restart

PLC, robotics and peripherals communicate through traceable enables, fault states and restart sequences.

04

RAMP-UP & SERVICE

Start reliably and maintain stable operation

We commission the system under production conditions, train operators and provide support with optimisation, maintenance and technical questions.

04 · IMPLEMENTATION

PROJECT PROCESS FROM ASSESSMENT TO HANDOVER.

The project is structured into assessment, technical implementation and production ramp-up.

01

Understand the process and define its potential

Video, on-site assessment and sample parts provide a sound basis for feasibility and the appropriate degree of automation.

02

Validate and fully engineer the concept

Critical steps are tested before mechanics, electrics, software, safety and documentation are fully engineered.

03

Build, ramp up and transfer knowledge

We commission the system, validate real product variants and train operators and maintenance personnel.
