Case of Automation in Parts Insertion Process: Reduction of Defect Rate and Improvement of Quality through Variation Improvement

Presenting a collection of case studies! Examples where productivity dramatically improved and production costs decreased.

We would like to introduce a case study of automation in the insertion process by JUKI Corporation. In the component insertion process, there was variability between processes, and it relied on the skills of experienced workers. This led to variations in quality depending on the skill level and physical condition of the workers, resulting in a decline in quality. Therefore, we considered automation with the JM100 and the introduction of the JaNets system. By reducing variability, the defect rate decreased, high-quality production was achieved, and productivity dramatically improved due to stable production speeds, which also reduced production costs. [Case Overview] ■ Background: Variability due to worker skills, task difficulty, physical condition, and experience was an issue. ■ Solution: Automation and system implementation. ■ Effect: High-quality production and increased efficiency. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
