Introduction

In this project, our client sought to enhance efficiency, reliability, and precision across several production lines in their factories through automation. After thorough research, our team opted for Kuka, a renowned arm manipulator manufacturer.

The scope

The project encompassed various facets, including mechanical considerations, product-related aspects, and even civil and construction components related to the new production lines. For the purpose of this discussion, I will focus solely on the robotics aspect—the area I actively contributed to.

Types of automation

Our robotic systems were deployed on two primary production lines:

• Product Packing Robots: These robots efficiently handled product packaging, streamlining the process and ensuring consistency. You can observe their operation in the accompanying video.

• Plastic Manufacturing Robots: These specialized robots were responsible for plastic manufacturing. Their implementation significantly improved safety compared to human labor working with machinery.

Results

Our team successfully delivered the project, and subsequent to its completion, the client expanded automation efforts to additional factories. If granted permission by the client, I can provide further technical details, including quantitative comparisons between machine and human performance in these factories.
