The Challenge
The Infrastructure Innovation Center at Stanley Black & Decker has been working with READY Robotics to identify opportunities where robotic automation might benefit Stanley’s operations. The Center sponsored a one-month trial deployment to a Stanley Infrastructure factory. The trial deployment began in late July 2017 and resulted in the factory purchasing the Forge/Station.
Task
Tending a Haas ST Series Lathe
The Solution
The Stanley Infrastructure factory runs many CNC lathes and mills, for jobs both large and small. Robotic automation has been hard to deploy for the factory until they started using the Forge/Station from READY, a powerful all-in-one automation solution that makes it possible to deploy robots in a single day.
