“Of course we measure production time, but the setup teaching time is the most crucial aspect of the robot’s performance. If it takes 4 hours to get the robot going between every part, we will not succeed. With our actual robot and gripper, the setup time is short.”

“We’ve increased our production capacity by being able to run the machine during unattended hours. We are now considering the possibility of in-sourcing more work because of our enhanced production capacity.”

“By increasing our productivity by 20%, we are much more competitive when we seek new business and we compete with anybody. We brought back some production from China. We reallocated some employees to other areas that are in growth.”

“The gripper is a game changer. It is really flexible and durable. It can pick up the small parts that we make here. It grabs rounds, squares, whatever you want. We got the software and we just loaded it up on the Universal Robot and just started operating the machine. It was perfect Plug and Play.”

“The integration of collaborative robots was so much easier than the previous ones we had. We do not need much sensors around the equipment. It is really efficient. I saw immediately the advantages, easy integration, zero maintenance, higher productivity. Our changeover time is twice faster now.”

“The main problem was that the integration cost of most robotic solutions was 3-4 times the cost of the solution itself. But with the UR5 and Robotiq gripper solution, the integration cost was a fraction of the actual purchase price.”

“I didn’t need a vision expert anymore, I could do it myself. I bought the camera, and it’s super simple. It takes about 10 minutes and your part is taught.”
