Increasing the efficiency of car cushion production line at TVC (subsidiary of Toyota)

Problem

TVC is a Japanese company that is a subsidiary of Toyota. They had problems regarding increasing the efficiency of their car cushion production line. In the past, all the raw materials had to be picked and placed by workers in the right position for sewing machines’ processing. After that, workers also had to unload the semi-finished products for the next procedure.

Solution

IIMT-CR-10 is introduced in their car cushion production line. The robot is equipped with 12 pneumatic suckers on a specially designed gripper, the IIMT-CR-10 can hold the materials (cloth) steadily.

Outcome

After two weeks of testing, the cobot has replaced the jobs of loading and unloading by a human worker. The working procedure has reduced 5 sec each time, and the cobot doesn’t need to take a rest like human workers. Now TVC is considering equip more IIMT-CR-10 cobots on their other production lines.
