Automotive & Components
Component handlingAssemblyProcess automationInspectionEnd-of-line
Automation for component production and assembly where cycle time, repeatability, process control and model variation must be managed consistently.
Automation shaped by the manufacturing application.
Equipment is developed around the product, manufacturing process, operating environment and production requirements of the application.

Production requirements
Common production requirements often drive the need for automation.
Automation is typically considered when a production process requires greater output, consistency, control, traceability or reduced dependence on repetitive manual operations.
Increase production output while maintaining control of the process.
Reduce variation across defined production and assembly operations.
Integrate inspection or verification into the production process where required.
Automate repetitive, difficult or production-critical manual tasks.
Accommodate product variation and changing production requirements.
Capture and associate production information where process accountability is required.
Application fit
Applications are assessed by their manufacturing requirements.
The sectors above are representative rather than exhaustive. A manufacturing application can be reviewed where custom machinery, robotics, handling, inspection, testing or system integration may provide an appropriate solution.
