General Motors has a longstanding history of working with FANUC to develop cutting-edge technology. When they needed a solution to reduce the strain on workers and improve the efficiency of the plug insertion process, partnering with FANUC was the best move.
Traditionally, plugs are inserted manually by a team, which can require workers to twist and bend to reach in order to place them. General Motors sought a solution for the system to automatically place the plugs where they needed to go, detect and indicate errors to the operator, and verify that the installation is correct.
FANUC conducted rigorous testing, from stacking and dispensing to plug feeding, to validate the entire system and ensure it was reliable and robust enough to serve General Motors well.
