Customer

The customer is a producer and supplier of sanitary equipment, serving numerous countries across Europe.

Challenge

Efficient and Precise Automated Part Picking Solution Required

The customer needed an automated solution for efficiently picking and transferring parts. The objective was to automate the process of extracting parts from bins and placing them onto a rotating carousel, where a separate machine would create threads in the plastic for bolts.

Previously, this task was performed using manual machines, which caused interruptions and hindered uninterrupted operation. Moreover, the customer sought a reliable solution capable of precisely identifying the ideal picking point for objects arranged in a semi-structured layout.
