Screwdriving Solution | Robotiq

The Problem

Assembly unreliability

Screwdriving in assembly is essential, yet prone to human error, risking product damage, a hit to your reputation, and revenue loss. In assembly lines, where workers are hard to find, it affects motivation and raises the risk of strain injuries, which makes workforce reliability even more challenging.

THE SOLUTION

Minimize errors

Automating screwdriving minimizes human errors and boosts product quality, customer trust, and revenue. It also frees workers to focus on more stimulating tasks, which positively impacts employee retention and improves overall production efficiency and reliability.
