1. Client: Faurecia Interior Systems Kosice
The company used manual work to connect the components of the interior parts of cars, such as door panels, dashboard, etc. The quality of the glued joint, labour productivity and economic efficiency were thus largely influenced by the human factor. The application of the glue was not sufficiently uniform and its consumption was unnecessarily high. Due to market requirements, it was also desirable to increase labour productivity.
We offered the company a solution in the form of a robotic workplace for spray application. Robotic application of adhesives on relatively flat surfaces has already been proven in the industry, but in the case of structured surfaces it was still problematic. In order to successfully solve the entire technology, it was necessary to ensure appropriate properties of the adhesive, create control algorithms to minimize adhesive consumption, solve automatic cleaning of nozzles and fine-tune handling and logistics so that the productivity of the workplace will be higher than that of the manual work.
The solution proved successful and the new system was extended also to sister companies.
2. Client: JAVYS a.s.
The decommissioning of the V1 Nuclear Power Plant at Jaslovské Bohunice involved the disposal of steam generators. The previously used technologies for the fragmentation of large-scale structures, such as manual flame and plasma cutting, no longer met the new requirements for health and safety at work. Even technologies used world-wide still required a considerable amount of human labour.
We designed an automated system for cutting the steam generator casing and a robotic complex for fragmentation of the heat exchange tubes. The solution reached in cooperation with VUJE a.s. made it possible to minimize the health risk to workers, as well as to reduce downtimes. Subsequently, we designed a system of secondary division of the tubes to enable their automatic storage in barrels. The comprehensive digitization of this workplace provides a precondition for its application in other nuclear power plants undergoing decommissioning.
3. Client: Košice-Šaca Hospital
The shortage of medical staff in hospitals is becoming critical, so Košice-Šaca Hospital was looking for a solution for work that does not require direct interaction with the patient.
In cooperation with the company Photoneo, we designed a solution involving a mobile robot for the distribution of materials and medicines between wards and to patients. The solution of navigation in the existing premises of the hospital and the creation of a new logistics system were challenging. The success of the solution was, among other things, also the result of thorough staff training. The patients received the new crew member very favourably.
