The customer in this case is an innovative technology enterprise specializing in various spare parts of bicycles, electric vehicles and other health sports products, integrating R&D, production, independent brand sales and OEM services, and its products are exported to more than 60 countries and regions such as Europe, United States and Southeast Asia. At the same time, as a supplier of well-known brand car assembly plants at home and abroad, it is well received by partners and bicycle enthusiasts.
pain point
The customer is an open factory located in South China, which is labor-intensive, and the product needs to be loaded and unloaded frequently when it goes through multiple processes and flows between various types of equipment. Before the epidemic began, China's demographic dividend advantage had gradually disappeared, and the problem of customer recruitment difficulties and labor shortages had begun to appear, and after the epidemic became the norm, the problem of intermittent short-term shutdowns gradually surfaced, and these problems caused customers headaches. As a result, the customer made up his mind to transform and upgrade.
The customer wanted to solve the problem they were facing by replacing manual production tasks with robots. Because of the limitations of factory space and other factors, the layout of industrial robots is obviously not suitable. The customer turned to the cobot manufacturer to try to add the robot unloading code disc to the back section of the mature standard pad printing machine, with the intention of placing the low value-added and high repetitive workstation with the cobot to replace the manual labor. At the same time, they hope to reduce training time and costs, so that workers can quickly master and use robots.
solution
After full communication and understanding, the customer decided to try the easy-to-program, lightweight and flexible Elite collaborative robot. After the on-site inspection, Elite suggested that the customer use EC66 (6kg) collaborative robot to replace the manual work of unloading the code disc - after the product is pad printed, the robot needs to flip the product, and then make the code disc, and then superimpose the paper plate after the yard is full. At this time, the "flexible" characteristics of the Elite collaborative robot can be demonstrated, the almost spherical workspace can meet the requirements of complex actions, and the robot is flipped during the action of absorbing plastic accessories to the code disc, which greatly reduces the mechanism design and quickly promotes the accuracy of the project, the simpler the mechanism design, the higher the stability.
In addition, the collaborative robot can also be competent for flexible production, for the customer's small batch of multi-variety product production mode, support preset programs, when the product batch is replaced, quickly call the new program and debug the robot can be put into production, greatly shortening the changeover time, and the Elite collaborative machine is simple and easy to use, and can be put into other suitable stations in the later stage. After the customer invests in the collaborative robot, a workstation is calculated according to 3 shifts a day, which saves the cost of 3 manpower, and also reduces the investment in personnel management, and the return on investment period is only 8-12 months.
The recurrence of the epidemic has led to intermittent short-term shutdowns, while labor costs are still being invested, and the increase in hidden costs has made more and more enterprises choose to upgrade to automation. If you want to truly control the risk, we recommend that customers use a gradual automation model and use robots to replace people step by step. It is believed that a successful cooperation can increase the customer's confidence in Elite, and also hand over more workstations that want to be transformed to Elite collaborative robots.
