Efficiency increase by almost 30%

– ASSYMATIC robotic assembly cell for a manufacturer of plastic car components

About the project

A valued German company specializing in the production of plastic car elements faced the challenge of increasing the efficiency and reducing the unit costs of the process of installing clips in a plastic car element. The client wanted to optimize production costs while increasing the repeatability of processes and their precision, which translates into higher final quality of products.

After analyzing the client’s needs and challenges, TKM Projekt proposed a robotic assembly cell from the ASSYMATIC series.

The client’s key problems

The client has previously produced plastic car components using a traditional assembly line operated by employees. The assembly process included a number of activities, including: assembling components, pressing clips, quality control and marking the finished product. The problem was not only the time-consuming process, but also the high susceptibility to human errors.

Project goals

 

Increased efficiency

The basic task was to increase the number of units produced per hour by using automatic systems instead of tasks previously performed manually.

Improvement of quality

Thanks to automation, they wanted to achieve greater precision in the assembly process, eliminating human errors and ensuring higher quality of the final product.

Optimization of production costs

Automation of the production line was supposed to guarantee greater savings by reducing employment costs and reducing errors at the production stage.

Results achieved

The implementation of the ASSYMATIC robotic assembly cell brought significant benefits to the client both in terms of efficiency and product quality. Cost optimization was an additional advantage, which allowed the company to remain competitive on the market. This project is an excellent example of an effective transformation from traditional, manual production processes to more modern and effective automation solutions.

Increased efficiency

The implementation of the ASSYMATIC robotic cell contributed to an increase in production efficiency by 26%.

Greater precision

The number of incorrectly assembled components has been reduced to 2 pmm. The risk of human errors was also minimized.

Guaranteed quality

The use of vision systems for final quality control eliminated the incorrect classification of NOK details as OK.

Cost reduction

Optimization of employment costs and reduction of production errors resulted in lower production costs. The manual line required four employees to operate, while the ASSYMATIC robotic cell is operated by only one operator.
