Many manufacturers hesitate to adopt automation due to fear of disruption to existing operations. However, Integrating Robotics into Production Lines is often less disruptive than imagined, thanks to modern modular design.
Modular Workstations: Modern spraying robots are frequently installed as self-contained workstations that can be slotted into the existing line between pre-treatment and curing stages.
Open Connectivity: High interface openness (via Ethernet IP, Profinet, etc.) ensures the robot controller can communicate seamlessly with existing conveyor PLCs and factory management systems.
Footprint Optimization: Specialized kinematics (e.g., smaller, more rigid structures) often allow the robot to operate in confined spaces where older, larger equipment would not fit.
This seamless integration allows factories to phase in automation gradually, minimizing downtime and risk.
