Case stories

At the Tōchita Plant (Factory 703) in Handa City (Japan), Toyota Industries Corporation is implementing improvements to make the factory more appealing to future workers. One such initiative focuses on automating the raw material input process. By combining collaborative robots with an existing balancer, the company developed a solution for handling heavy materials. This reduced both the number of work hours and the burden of manual lifting.

The family business designs, forms and finishes metal components, from custom one-offs to large series. Karl Ferk runs the company in its fourth generation. For him, one thing matters most: that work never becomes monotonous. That's why they leverage collaborative robots to weld, grind, powder coat and wherever task it makes sense.

Construction sites, long considered bastions of manual labor, are experiencing a technological shake-up thanks to Canvas, a San Francisco startup that has developed a robotic system to tackle the arduous task of drywall finishing. By integrating UR10e cobots, Canvas has created a machine that dramatically reduces the time and effort involved in this traditionally labor-intensive trade.

Junior Kühlkörper started with a single test and now relies on 40+ cobots to automate CNC machine loading, palletizing, and more. The result? Faster production, greater flexibility, and reduced downtime, all while giving employees the freedom to innovate.

Dallas College’s Mechatronics program incorporates collaborative robots into hands-on applications such as CNC machine tending, packaging and palletizing, so students gain real-world experience in automation.
