Keeping Your Operations Running Smoothly
Our Approach
As a Global Solution partner, we optimise your load & unload process at an enterprise, line and machine level so you can get maximum throughput, availability of your production and guarantee the safety and quality of your product. Contributing to improve the performance of your operations at these three levels we help you maximise profitability and flexibility at your factory floor.

Our Solution
Up to now, conveyors were the solutions to move the goods around the factory but they occupy a large area of floor space, are inflexible, costly, and require high maintenance. Changing this approach to a fleet of robots with smart interconnectivity facilitates your line flow. Delivering what you need, when and where you need it, increases your agility significantly. Our robotics solution not only optimises the flow of goods around the factory but also minimise WIP, reduces scrap, risk of contamination, spoilage, and losses. Optimise the flow of goods, maximise profit!
Benefits of a Reconfigurable Production Line
-
Link assets in production lines
-
Reduce costs through only storing what is needed at lineside
-
Traceability of all stock reduces downtime
-
Reduce trip hazards
-
Prioritize labour to only value-added tasks
Line Level
Our Solution
OMRON offers a wide array of robotic solutions, not only improving throughput but freeing workers to concentrate on value-added tasks. Our solutions to improve Line Side Replenishment (LSR), eliminate line starvation, human mistakes and optimise the palletisation process. Examples are Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arms (SCARA) solutions that are tasked with loading bottles or other containers, collaborative robots feeding box and carton erectors, or high speed parallel robotic solutions used to orientate and align-items. Maximise your ROI and line safety, that is the bottom line!
Benefits of Tasking Robots with Non-Value-Add Duties
-
Production maintained improving line OEE
-
Correct package and product combination can be verified
-
Batch label can be added enabling traceability in production
-
Repetitive tasks can be avoided and worker stress reduced
Machine Level
Our solution
Our wide array of automation and robotic solutions optimise the throughput, availability, and quality to your specific manufacturing setting. We optimise the flow rates and recipe handling through our One controller that takes care of all functionality: motion, vision, safety, and robotics. Our automatic position control of goods embedded in our Sysmac control platform, allows a full conveyor control without damaging products. Deliver retail ready solutions and ship the right products at the right time, in the right way!

Affordable automation: Leasing cobots and mobile robots for flexibility on the factory floor
04 March, 2021 In line with the move to Industry 4.0, an increasing number of manufacturers are turning to automation as a way of streamlining processes and boosting productivity. A key aspect of this is the use of robots, often working alongside people in the factory. However, many companies might be reluctant to invest in additional automation, particularly following the economic difficulties presented by COVID-19. For manufacturers looking for an affordable solution, cost structures with leasing options are being implemented as an option to allow adaptability on the factory floor.
