Automated storage line for jewelry

Automated storage line for jewelry with manipulator robots

A leading Lyon-based gold chain manufacturer has worked closely with ASM to automate the storage of its various jewelry models.

Objective: automate the stocking and issuing of customer orders

The goal was both to automate stocking in vertical rotating automatic storage systems and to automate stock removal generated by customer orders. The main difficulty of this project came from the large number of references to manage (over 1000), packaged in plastic bags of different sizes. To overcome this, ASM used all its robotics skills and specifically designed 4 manipulator robots equipped with suction fingers (by venturi), capable of handling multiple types of parts, for this client.
