METAL PROCESSING OVERVIEW

What is automation in the consumer goods industry?

The metal industry is one of the most versatile industries and is therefore identified as a priority for robot-based automation solutions. This sector demands perfection in minor details and top performance in challenging, sometimes extremely harsh, working conditions.

In recent years, we have observed an increasing demand for automation solutions in the metal industry and have responded quickly. Our automation solutions are gradually replacing manual processes or less flexible automated processes. Our automation solutions include TIG welding, MIG welding, spot welding, stamping solutions, aluminum casting, and processing solutions such as milling, cutting, folding, grinding, deburring, etc.

Applications of automation in the consumer goods industry

To optimize automation solutions, the application of robots to replace human labor in the production process is essential. With the continuous advancement of modern technology and artificial intelligence, robots can handle most tasks within the production workflow.

Over the past 50 years, many industries have implemented automation in manufacturing, leading to the current state, especially in the automotive industry. Automakers like Ford, Mercedes, Toyota, Honda, and Nissan, … have all adopted automated production and assembly lines, with welding robots playing a significant role. Leading this trend in Vietnam is VinFast.

We are a unit that can provide solutions related to:

  • Automotive frame welding lines: using TIG welding, MIG welding, spot welding,
  • Aluminum/plastic casting lines,
  • Sheet metal stamping lines,
  • Product surface cleaning lines,
  • Product surface treatment lines: deburring, sanding.

Benefits of automation in the consumer goods industry

Automation in the metal industry offers five practical benefits as follows:

Easy Operation

Currently, programming robots has been simplified in the market, featuring customizable and user-friendly control interfaces. As a result, the time required for robot programming has been significantly reduced. With just detailed guidance, an operator can perform the tasks.

Reasonable Costs
Today, there are many options for robots available at more affordable prices. When using robots, owners do not need to pay an additional hazardous wage, and the working time of robots is much more stable and longer than that of humans. This leads to significant savings for businesses.

Work Productivity
Robots can work 24/7 and are not affected by harsh or hazardous working conditions.

Consistency in Product Quality
The operations of robots are highly precise and uniform, thereby enhancing the consistency of the quality of processed products.

Solving Labor Shortages
Having a team of highly skilled “automatic welders” with welding qualifications 4F and 6G, they work overtime without complaints and have only one maintenance day per year.
