Automation and Manpower Saving Solutions
Do you face any of these problems?
- Assembly, testing, and packing processes are inefficient because they rely on manual work
- Quality management of processes that rely on manual work is difficult
- Need high-quality, low-cost automated production
Automation/manpower saving solutions for the FATP process (assembly, testing, packing)
▲Steps to automation
Automation of assembly, testing and packing processes
It is important to improve the assembly, testing and packing processes to “reduce defective products,” “reduce costs,” and “shorten the lead times.”
We support automation of these processes in collaboration with other companies.
Earnestly addressing problems at manufacturing sites
From listening to the customer’s needs to maintenance of the installed equipment, projects are managed consistently by Panasonic.
We ensure that the installed equipment proves to be effective.
Utilizing the know-how in precision work for automation
By utilizing Panasonic’s products and our long-standing manufacturing know-how, we contribute to the automation of precision work that could only be done by humans in the past.
We start by listening to the customer’s problems
- Know-how and project management skills cultivated at manufacturing sites and
- Alliances with internal and external collaborators, are our strengths
Case studies
