In my current role as a Robotics Engineer at AutomateNow, I spearheaded a project aimed at enhancing the efficiency of our client's manufacturing line using automation and robotics. We were tasked with the development and deployment of a robotic system for assembly line automation.
We used industrial-grade robots from KUKA and Fanuc, integrated these with a custom conveyor system and incorporated machine vision systems to enable more precise movements. We programmed the robotics using ABB RobotStudio and ensured interoperability with the existing manufacturing system to minimize interruptions.
As a result of our efforts, we saw a 50% increase in production speed and a substantial decrease in errors, providing significant value to our client. This experience strengthened my understanding of the broad possibilities that automation and robotics can bring to modern manufacturing.
