KUKA partner, ARC Specialties, developed and integrated this robotic system, from the customer’s idea on paper to the full production of the robot. The robot system has reduced cost and increased output for Tube Supply and Triple-S Steel Holding.
“Until we saw the robot running, I had no idea of the service that we could deliver to our customers,” said Paul Sorensen, CEO of Tube Supply. “Yesterday, we had pieces being cut that weighed 176 pounds, and she didn't care if it was 3 pounds or 176 pounds. She is taking that part from the saw and stacking it on the pallet repeatedly. And that order got out in half the time that it would have before.”
Now, no matter what their customers request, as long as they have the materials in stock they will be able to service their customers. “It’s about meeting our customers’ expectations, and how to do that in the most predicable, most reliable fashion, and a robot does that for us,” explained Gary Stein, President & CEO of Triple-S Steel Holdings.
In addition to reducing costs and increasing output, "Rosie" the robot -- named after the robotic helper from The Jetsons cartoon -- eliminates repetitive injuries. No jobs were lost, and employees are now doing physically less demanding work that will lead to fewer injuries.
