Automotive
The automotive industry has driven innovation in advanced manufacturing technologies as it continuously adapts to changing customer needs and relentless competition. In fact, it is safe to say that the automotive industry gave birth to the robotics industry. The innovations in automation by the automotive industry have then percolated down to various other industries.
DiFACTO has contributed to the automation of almost every aspect of automobile manufacturing.
The automobile manufacturing process can be broken down into the following major divisions:
DiFACTO has integrated robots for inter-press transfer, reduced cycle time by re-layouting and adding output conveyors, engineered end-of-line pallet racking systems, co-developed with a global automotive OEM a unique robot-adjustable tooling system to reduce the number of gripping tools (and thereby the storage/logistics of the tools).
