Case Studies - Industrial Robots

Significantly improved robot system performances and an increased ease of use open up new automation solutions, many of which are outside the “classic” applications of industrial robots. Furthermore, robot manufacturers and system integrators are increasingly supplying flexible work cells with standard configurations, which can be rapidly integrated into existing production systems for standard applications.

From films and foils to stack

Mar 17, 2026 It is an “industry first”: In Cixi/ China, the Palcan Group is currently ramping up a fully automated production line for the stacking of fuel cells. Stäubli robots play an important role in the handling of sensitive and costly components like sheets and foils under the extreme conditions of a strong acid environment.

KR QUANTEC against electrical waste

Feb 26, 2026 For a sustainable circular economy, recycling plays an essential role, especially when electronic consumer goods are involved. The recycling of electronic waste can be harmful to human health and is therefore an optimal field of application for robotics and automation. The Irish technology company Votechnik has developed a system with a KR QUANTEC that can master these challenges.

Automation, intelligence empowered lithium industry

Feb 23, 2026 With the booming development of the electric vehicle market, the demand for lithium batteries continues to grow, the production efficiency and quality of lithium batteries are also increasingly high requirements.

Robots in the Bakery

Dec 15, 2025 “Bakisto” could relieve supermarket and discount store employees from repetitive tasks, introduce higher levels of reliability into the baking process and reduce food waste.

Pioneering robotic Approach for Complex Assembly Process

Aug 06, 2025 As part of a development cooperation between Schaeffler and AICA, an AI-empowered automation solution utilizing Cobots has been industrialized, which, in addition to direct automation of a complex assembly process, also optimized the efficiency of automation engineering.
