THE CLIENT
Our client is a global-tier automotive supplier with over 25 years of experience in the industry, specializing in premium interior components made from real wood veneer, brushed aluminum, carbon fiber, and lacquered plastic.
Their products are featured in some of the world’s top car brands, including Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, BMW, Jaguar Land Rover, Volvo, VW, and Peugeot.
THE CHALLENGE
In one of their core production processes, operators performed a highly repetitive manual task using a hot air finishing system. This activity ran across 8-hour shifts, three times per day, involving the same motion repeatedly.
This setup caused:
- Physical fatigue for workers
- Low efficiency due to human limitations
- Higher accident risk
- Inconsistent quality that did not meet luxury standards
The company needed a solution to improve safety, process stability, and control without disrupting its 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 a collaborative robotic solution, the client experienced strong, measurable improvements across multiple areas. The impact went beyond automation, transforming the way the team works:
- Repetitive exposure to hot air was fully eliminated, removing health and safety risks for line operators
- Workers were reassigned to safer, higher-value roles, improving well-being and engagement
- The cobot delivered repeatable results every shift, reducing variability and enhancing process control
- The new setup brought greater stability, accurate data collection, and a more ergonomic workflow
This implementation was not just a technical upgrade but a step toward a smarter, safer, and more efficient way of working.
Our client, NBHX, gained more than a robot through the collaborative solutions implemented by Robot Industries. They gained precision, reliability, and peace of mind, knowing that their production now runs safer, faster, and more efficiently.
