How to Automate Machine Tools in Low-Volume, High-Mix Production

June 13, 2023 |

KUKA Robotics' partner Waybo recognized the unmet needs of these shops and developed standard automation products that specifically address low-volume, high-mix production and can be used by anyone on the shop floor.

Today's machine shops face many challenges:

  • Finding and retaining qualified personnel
  • Cost pressures
  • Delivery pressures
  • Quality issues
  • Lack of time to implement or learn new technology

Robotics promises to address some of these challenges, but this technology is often well-suited for larger companies. These organizations often have engineering staff that can implement these technologies. Smaller shops with low-volume, high-mix production are often left out.

KUKA Robotics' partner Waybo recognized the unmet needs of these shops and developed standard automation products that specifically address low-volume, high-mix production and can be used by anyone on the shop floor. Armed with Waybo's systems, these companies are ready to overcome their top challenges.
