CUSTOMER STORY

Alleviating manual tasks through robotic sanding

customer story

Challenge

Classic Woodwork was looking to improve efficiency but struggled to attract additional talent during the labor shortage. They also had the belief you could not automate the production of tailor-made items. As a result, Classic Woodwork sought a solution that could be easily managed in-house while allowing enough flexibility to fulfill tasks on workpieces of various sizes.

Solution

From first contact to full deployment, Classic Woodwork’s robotic sanding cell was fully operational within 10 weeks. The machine’s deployment and training period lasted less than one week thanks to deployment support from Vention and the user-friendly interface. With this manual, monotonous task now automated, existing staff were instantly reassigned to more high-value tasks, increasing Classic Woodwork’s productivity without the need for additional headcount.
