Before integrating FANUC collaborative robots into their facility, Flex-N-Gate needed to install costly camera systems to monitor product consistency. Instead of installing upwards of 10 cameras at each station (with cameras costing up to $10,000 a piece), they can use a single camera with a FANUC Cobot, which moves the camera where it needs to be to inspect the process.
With FANUC Cobots, Flex-N-Gate has improved the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and quality of their production processes. Because Cobots are collaborative and safe to use, they don’t need to be caged off, unlike other larger robots, and they take up minimal floor space, leaving more room for clear pathways and other equipment.
