Manual handling of sheet metal parts has long been a bottleneck in production environments. It presents several challenges that affect productivity, costs, and employee well-being:
Physically demanding work: The repetitive and monotonous nature of manual handling often leads to fatigue, injuries, and high absenteeism. This not only impacts daily operations but also contributes to high staff turnover.
Staff shortages: With ongoing demographic shifts and a limited skilled labor pool, filling positions for manual tasks has become increasingly difficult, leaving businesses struggling to maintain production schedules.
High costs and inefficiencies: Manual processes are prone to errors and delays, leading to inefficiencies that drive up operational costs and threaten competitiveness.
Complexity in automation: High part variance and small batch sizes pose significant challenges for traditional automation solutions, making manual handling the default option despite its limitations.
These challenges highlight the urgent need for smarter, more flexible solutions that enhance productivity while reducing strain on workers and costs for businesses. This is where AI-powered robotics step in to transform the sheet metal industry.
