OpiFlex Automation AB

General information

The manufacturing industry in the Western world represents an enormous challenge with high salaries, smaller batches and marginalization in the global competition. Companies have mostly manual labor and struggle with low degree of automation <5%.

• Many SME companies want to automate, but it is difficult for small series production by the following reasons:
• Large volume variation, low machine utilization - Long pay-off of fixed robot
• Bottlenecks varies over time - Unable to move the robot
• Small series/batches, new products daily - High programming costs
• Need manual access to the machines - Fixed robot and fences blocks machine for manual operation

One way to solve some of the challenges is to move the whole robot cell to the machine that need automation at the moment. By moving the robot you share the investment with several machines, can automate the bottle necks and you get manual access for the smaller batches.
OpiFlex have developed a world unique mobile robotics platform with patented docking system ensuring high precision and stability for large robots at full performance.

OpiFlex’s mobile robot solution has been nominated by the European Commission for the Business Innovation Observatory Awards - Brussels, 16 April 2015, as one of ten companies.
