NBHX x Robot Industries
THE CLIENT
NBHX is a global-tier automotive supplier with over 25 years in the industry, known for producing premium interior components from real wood veneer, brushed aluminum, carbon fiber, and lacquered plastic.
Their products are found in some of the world’s top car brands:
Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, BMW, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo, VW, Peugeot - to name a few.
THE CHALLENGE
In one of their core production processes, operators were performing a highly repetitive manual task using a hot air finishing system. This activity ran across 8-hour shifts, 3 times per day, involving the same motion, again and again.
This setup caused:
● Physical fatigue for workers
● Low efficiency due to human limitations
● Higher accident risk
● Inconsistent quality that didn’t match luxury standards
NBHX needed a way to improve both safety and stability and bring more control to the process without interrupting their high-end production flow.
THE SOLUTION
We teamed up and proposed to integrate in their process a collaborative robot (cobot), which was integrated directly into the existing production line, taking over the repetitive tasks, allowing operators to focus on higher-value, less physically demanding tasks.
Our solution featured a 5-axis collaborative cobot, with the following key characteristics:
● Payload capacity: 3 kg – ideal for lightweight, repetitive operations
● Working radius: 700 mm – providing flexibility and reach within a compact space
● Human-safe design: Compact, efficient, and built to operate safely alongside human workers
And just like that, it didn’t just replace a movement, it improved the entire process.
THE RESULTS
After integrating our collaborative robotic solution, NBHX saw strong, measurable improvements across multiple areas. The impact went beyond automation and changed how the team works.
Here are some of the key results:
● Repetitive exposure to hot air was fully eliminated, removing health and safety risks for the people on the line.
● Workers were reassigned to safer, higher-value roles, improving both well-being and engagement.
● The cobot delivered repeatable results every shift, reducing variability and improving process control.
● The new setup brought more stability, accurate data, and a more ergonomic workflow.
This wasn’t just a technical upgrade, but also a step toward a smarter, safer, and better way of working.
The NBHX team gained more than a robot. They gained precision, reliability, and peace of mind, knowing that production now runs safer, faster, and more efficiently.
