A leading automotive parts manufacturer relied heavily on manual labor to load and unload various engine components, metal housings, and connectors along the production line.
However, repetitive handling of high-temperature and heavy parts caused worker fatigue, safety risks, and frequent placement errors.
Production delays, inconsistent part transfers between processes, and staffing challenges across day and night shifts further reduced overall operational efficiency.

CMES Robotics implemented an AI 3D Vision–based Picking & Placing Solution capable of safely and precisely handling heavy, irregularly shaped parts.
The system recognizes the shape and position of components in real time and coordinates with a robotic arm and specialized gripper to retrieve items even from non-uniform, irregularly stacked pallets.

The automation ensures consistent performance in repetitive operations and maintains accuracy regardless of part orientation or placement variability.

Automation significantly improved loading and unloading efficiency while reducing orientation and placement errors, stabilizing the line and shortening cycle times. By eliminating manual handling of heavy components, the solution enhanced worker safety, optimized workforce allocation, and increased overall production-line productivity.
