Manufacturing

Assembly lines, intra-plant movement, quality inspection

Manipulators and cobots for machine tending, welding, transfer and palletising. Every cell is an engineering project: spec, tooling, PLC and guarding.

What gets automatedS·01

Typical processes for robotisation

◢ SCOPE · IND-MANUFACTURING05 PROC · 03 CLASS
  1. 01

    Intra-plant movement of components and blanks

  2. 02

    Material feed to assembly stations

  3. 03

    Quality inspection (visual, dimensional, functional)

  4. 04

    Palletising of finished product

  5. 05

    Integration with MES and production-control system

Cameras, laser scanners, test rigs. Integrated into the line.

Example configurationS·02

How it comes together as a project.

A metalworking shop: a cell tending two CNC machines — ESTUN ER20, a blank conveyor, a safety loop. 38-second cycle time, the cell runs the third shift without an operator; people stay on changeovers and spot checks.

◬ LimitsS·03

Where robots don't help yet

OPERATIONAL LIMITS / OUT OF SCOPE
Limits
  • No standard package — every project goes through brief + paid audit

  • Existing MES without an open API — increases integration risk

  • Frequent process changes — need periodic reprogramming

  • Non-standard blank dimensions and weight — separate engineering work

Where we don't operate

To save your time and ours, we name the tasks we don't cover upfront. If your case mainly overlaps with one of these — we're likely not the right partner.

  • Greenfield production-line design

  • Capital construction of shops and engineering systems

  • Industry-standard certification (ISO, GMP)

  • Hiring and training of production staff

Reference casesS·04

The same class of solution already runs in this industry

Our job is to open access to the same class of equipment and integration for a site of your size, with local service.

Equipment
Quicktron AGVs for intra-plant movement

AGV fleet integration into the existing MES without platform replacement. Per public data — reduced intra-plant logistics time and lower work-in-progress inventory.

Questions for an estimateS·05

What we need to know to give a concrete estimate

These parameters drive configuration and budget. If you know some of them — that's already enough to start the conversation.
