A direct response to on-going labor shortages, AMRs allow manufacturers to automate repeated intralogistics functions. Additional automation and robotic demonstrations were open and available during Manufacturing Automation Tech Day including but not limited to primary food handling and consumergoods packaging.
It can be used not only for efficient material supply from warehouses, stations, assemblylines or preassembly lines, but also for process linking or reliable point-to-point transports. The drag-and-drop feature and the extensive function library enable rapid workflow optimization, which also saves time and resources.
For example, digital twins – digital replicas of physical production facilities down to individual assemblylines and machines – allow product designers and engineers to identify and troubleshoot potential prototype issues or defects and iterate the design before production begins.
In practice, this approach means that production machinery is organized by function rather than in a linear sequence, allowing products to move through machines as needed rather than following a set path. Flow shops excel at low-mix, high-volume production, and large order volumes that require items identical in form and function.
The slightest deviations in the shape, size, position, or surface texture of these components can impact the functionality and safety of the powertrain. In addition to this, high demand in the consumergoods industry leads to high demand in the Die & Mould segment. Quality is embedded in the DNA of LMW.
Since each step in the discrete manufacturing process is distinct from those before and after, this approach is often used to create complex, multipart products for automotive, aerospace, electronics and consumergoods applications. They utilize multistage assembly processes, each taking varying amounts of time to complete.
