How ENGESER GmbH saves 75% of its production costs

Summary

For the manufacturer of complex cable harnesses and electrical connection systems, the company ENGESER is a specialist. Efficient production processes and very high product quality play a decisive economic role here.

With locations in Germany, Romania, Czech Republic, USA and approx. 1000 employees, the company offers customer-oriented system solutions and the complete portfolio of ferrules at the highest level in the field of cable assembly.

In order to further increase the quality of your products, to produce economically and to offer your employees an attractive field of activity, the 100% manual and monotonous insertion process of different electronic housings into a laser system was to be automated.

The company relies on the automation platform from ESSERT Robotics and its many years of expertise to plan and achieve its goals.

Together, all automation requirements were implemented holistically and an Advanced Robotic Workstation, based on ESSERT’s modular platform, was put into operation.

The challenge

It had to be possible to cover and teach-in a large number of different products as well as new future products easily and quickly with the automation. The focus was not only on flexibility and the processing of bulk materials, but also on very simple operation.

In a selection process, the modular automation platform from ESSERT Robotics was able to convince with the software features of the ESSERT OS operating system.

“The clear advantage for us is the software and the “Easy Teach-In” feature. The software-supported function allows us to very quickly and easily teach-in new products and sequence processes, which are automatically transferred to the plant. All products can be quickly called up and activated via the recipe database. The changeover is done purely on the software side with one click, saving us a lot of time and thus cash.”Florian Hangst, master craftsman for production equipment at ENGESER GmbH

The current status

Due to the efficient and compact automation, ENGESER GmbH can produce economically with very high product quality.

“The result is very satisfactory! Another project has already been requested. We were able to save about 75% of previous costs. Without this measure, we would have had to relocate or even lost the products.”Dirk Kinzel – Managing Director of the company ENGESER
