Comau + SISCODATA (case112)
An innovative robotic system has been installed at the main plant of ZEISS Vision Care to automate the handling of lenses and their subsequent packaging and sorting for delivery to Customers.
Comau’s Racer-7-1.4 robots, integrated by Siscodata, ensure an impressive level of efficiency.
A “VISION” OF INDUSTRY 4.0
LOGISTICS AND AUTOMATION / INNOVATIVE FACTORIES
Progress in automation and digitalisation has fuelled the advance of Industry 4.0 systems in modern factories.
This system is designed to optimise intralogistic activities by automating the movement of lenses and their subsequent packaging and distribution in preparation for delivery to end customers.
Two leading names in factory automation worked closely with the Varese-based company to develop the application.
The first is Comau, specialists in Industry 4.0 compatible systems, products and services. The second is Siscodata, an automation integrator that supports the manufacture of finished products right up to assembly, packaging and palletisation.
For this particular application, Comau supplied three Racer-7-1.4, 6-axis anthropomorphic robots while Siscodata developed the robotic islands and integrated them in the plant’s automated movement system.
