Explore how GROHMANN helps manufacturers transform their production with innovative, flexible and efficient automation solutions
FLEXIBLE AUTOMATION IN FOOD PRODUCTION
FLEXIBLE AUTOMATION IN FOOD PRODUCTION
A large-scale food production facility needed to streamline packaging and inspection for multiple product lines — from dry goods to chilled items.
High SKU variety and frequent recipe changes created complexity.
Frequent product changeovers required long setup times and manual adjustments. Quality control was fragmented and prone to inconsistencies, impacting production speed and customer satisfaction.
GROHMANN implemented a fully modular automation system with quick-change components and programmable logic control. A custom vision inspection module was integrated for high-speed quality assurance, adaptable across product types.
- Installed flexible conveyors with adjustable guides
- Integrated camera-based inspection tailored for shape, label, and seal integrity
- Developed centralized interface for recipe-based changeovers.
- Changeover time reduced by over 60%
- Visual defect rate dropped significantly
- Increased throughput and production stability
- Operators now manage multiple lines with less intervention
SMART HANDLING IN THE CHEMISTRY INDUSTRY
SMART HANDLING IN THE CHEMISTRY INDUSTRY
In a chemical processing environment, handling hazardous materials with strict safety and environmental regulations present serious logistical challenges.
Manual transport exposed workers to health risks, while the irregular flow of containers caused inefficiencies and downtime. A reliable, safe, and automated transport system was needed.
GROHMANN introduced a network of AGVs (laser-guided) with explosion-proof certifications and customized load interfaces, designed specifically for handling barrels and containers in hazardous zones.
- Safety-zoned AGV pathways mapped and optimized
- Software integration with warehouse control system
- Emergency stop, obstacle detection, and safety fencing installed
- 24/7 material movement with minimal human intervention
- Safer environment and reduced incident rate
- Logistics operations became predictive and transparent
- Operators focused on supervision instead of transport tasks
Compact Distribution System for Battery Cells
Compact Distribution System for Battery Cells
A client in the fast-growing energy storage sector aimed to scale their production of lithium-based rechargeable batteries, while maintaining stringent quality standards.
The client’s manual inspection process couldn’t keep up with output demands and missed subtle defects like micro-cracks or misalignments, which compromised product safety.
GROHMANN designed a high-speed vision inspection system, fully integrated into the assembly line. The system uses AI-powered imaging to detect minute defects and classify them in real time.
- Installed high-resolution camera arrays with custom lighting
- Developed AI-based defect classification software
- Integrated system with robotic pick-and-sort station
- Real-time rejection of defective cells improved overall quality
- Reduced reliance on manual inspection by 80%
- Improved traceability and compliance documentation
- Faster line speed without sacrificing control
AGV-POWERED DISTRIBUTION IN CONSTRUCTION SUPPLY
AGV-POWERED DISTRIBUTION IN CONSTRUCTION SUPPLY
A company producing modular elements for construction required an internal logistics solution for large, heavy parts over long distances with low handling frequency.
Manual forklifts caused traffic congestion and inconsistent delivery timing. Return logistics were inefficient, slowing the entire production cycle.
GROHMANN deployed a mixed fleet of loop RGVs for fixed-path, high-volume transport and AGVs with magnetic guidance for flexible routing of return loads.
- Designed an U-shaped transport loop with automatic scheduling
- Optimized the return path using low-speed AGVs
- Connected transport controls with the company’s MES system
- 30% faster part delivery across workstations
- Return flow fully automated and synchronized
- Reduced manual equipment usage and labor strain
- Increased spatial efficiency in production layout)
