Revamping an automated storage line with 5 Universal Robots
One of France's leading gold jewelry manufacturers, located near Dijon, worked closely with ASM to automate the storage of its various jewelry designs. The goal was both to automate the stocking process in vertical rotary storage systems and to automate the retrieval of goods based on customer orders. The main challenge of this project stemmed from the large number of SKUs to manage (over 1,000), packaged in plastic bags of varying sizes.
Line optimization
In 2020, ASM optimized the performance of this installation by replacing the Cartesian handling system with 5 UNIVERSAL ROBOTS robots in the "ceiling". .
