“In our plant, we produce refrigerators in multiple models and configurations. The issue was the number of manual operations distributed along the line.”

• Application of different components: condenser, condensate drain hose, labels, accessories
• Very numerous product variants
• Manual operations that were inconsistent and prone to error
• Difficulty maintaining line pace

“Each operator performed several activities, and this created variability. One small mistake was enough to stop everything.”

• Integration of multiple robotized cells along the line
• Dedicated stations for:
• automatic condenser application
• drain hose insertion
• automatic labeling
• accessory assembly
• Model recognition and variant management system
• Complete synchronization with the production line

“The key was managing all variants without slowing down.”

• Much faster and more streamlined process
• Reduction in assembly errors
• Greater overall line reliability
• Ability to manage a high production mix without loss of efficiency

“Now the line runs smoothly. Even with many different models, we no longer have bottlenecks.”
