When the demand for specialized parts spiked, Whippany Actuation Systems needed to increase production. But the New Jersey-based manufacturer preferred to keep production in-house, and didn’t want to sink a large capital investment into a new CNC machine. So instead, the company looked into automation with a Universal Robots’ collaborative robot.
In just two years, Whippany Actuation Systems saw its ROI on the robot, and has since seen production capacity triple. Now the robot runs two additional, unattended shifts every day and is poised to handle even greater volumes in the future.
