Revolutionising automotive industry automation

The transportation sector is fast-paced and fast-evolving, particularly when it comes to automotives thanks to the increasing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and other new technology. Manufacturers need flexible automotive automation that can keep pace with vehicle and parts production. Enter collaborative robots.

Optima Robotics brings long-term and varied experience in this sector to the table – our cobots have been deployed in automotive factories around the world to help automate their processes and streamline the manufacturing process. Our car industry robots deliver consistent quality and precision each and every time, whether they’re handling delicate electronic components or performing quality control checks.

Automotive robots are transforming automotive production lines. Discover how they can do the same for your business today.

Overview
Advantages
Application

Often considered the birthplace of industrial robotics, the use of cobots in the automotive industry has been on the rise in more recent years due to their flexibility and ability to work in close cooperation with humans. They’ve been used by big names, like BMW and Ford, for decades and have established quite a solid presence in automotive manufacturing automation as a whole.

Deploying automotive robots allows businesses to automate those repetitive or dangerous tasks, allowing their skilled workers to instead focus on complex and demanding engineering and quality control processes.

Automotive automation has become essential in the growing EV industry, taking over repetitive tasks like motor component installation, battery cell replacement, and harness assembly.

The implementation of car industry robots offers many advantages, including:

Ability to complement human labour
Improves worker safety by taking over repetitive and dangerous tasks
Increases the productivity and efficiency of production processes
Ability to be moved between workstations with ease
Speeds up production processes
Increases production output while maintaining product quality
Quickly and easily adapt to new products, even in low-volume or quick-turn jobs
Can be integrated with vision systems to increase precision and reliability

Car manufacturing robots have many important applications throughout the automotive industry, including quality inspection, machine tending, material handling, paint application, and dispensing. Some of the most common areas that they’re deployed in include.

Assembly
Many simple assembly tasks, like screwing, are monotonous and repetitive, as well as require a lot of workers in order to get it done fast. These sorts of tasks can be automated with a cobot to free workers up to do other things.

Packaging
Palletising and packaging can be made simpler, faster, and more efficient with the assistance of automotive robots. This lightens the workload of your workers, allowing them to get on with more important tasks.

Welding
This is a task that must be performed with utmost precision. Human error can and does occur; car production robots are far more precise and will, therefore, deliver more consistent quality in welding tasks across the board.
