Customer Success: Streamline Production with Automated Technology

For many manufacturers, automation could be the next step to improving productivity, profitability, quality, and so much more. If you’re manufacturing with smart electric tools, then automation may be in your future too. It’s the perfect solution to reduce downtime in repetitive daily applications.

At Atlas Copco, we proudly supply our customers with the entire turnkey solution. When our customer, a major manufacturer in the automotive industry, was already producing with Atlas Copco tools and solutions, they were ready to make the switch toward automation, so they worked alongside our experts to find the right station for automation. Read on to discover how we were able to help!

At Atlas Copco, we pride ourselves on delivering our customers the best products and solutions on the market. When we paid our customer a visit, we knew they were assembling with the best tools to fit their needs, but we also discovered we could improve their assembly even more.

As a pre-existing customer of Atlas Copco products and solutions, this automotive manufacturer trusted us to guide them in their automation endeavors. As we walked the line, we identified a station that would benefit from our automated solutions.

At this station, there were two vertical QST spindles controlled by two operators. Our cobot could do the same job as these two operators, saving time and enabling our customer to reallocate them to more complex portions of the application.

Since implementation, the automated solution has made a huge impact on their assembly. Firstly, automation is often the perfect solution to streamline production. A certain margin of human error is expected during assembly, but when automated technology is completing the task, you can expect improved accuracy and speed.

Furthermore, this station was able to save our customer thousands. Rather than keeping operators at this repetitive task, they were able to move them to different areas of the facility where they were needed more, enhancing their productivity.

At Atlas Copco, we proudly offer our customers the entire turnkey solution. From the cobots to the tightening tool, you will work with only one company for all your automation questions and needs. We have experts that specialize in all things automation, so you will get the help and support you need as you begin your transition into the future of Industry 4.0.
