Role: Plant Manager
“In our plant, we produce refrigerators in multiple models and configurations. The issue was the number of manual operations distributed along the line.”
Requirement
- 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.”
Solution implemented
- 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.”
Results
- 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.”
