Odd-form assembly

Cencorp odd-form solutions are designed for high volume and high mix production. The target industries are automotive electronics, industry electronics and consumer electronics.

The goal of automation is cost–effectiveness in the form of consistent quality, and cost reduction. In some cases, benefits include the accomplishment of tasks that are impossible to perform manually to specifications. As products are involving more functions at the same time as their sizes are decreasing, they may become too small to manage manually, or require a precision, which is impossible to handle manually.

These benefits are accomplished through improvements:

• in assembly reliability
• labor savings
• assembly yield improvements
• floor space savings
• and optimization of processes

Odd-form process automation is an efficient way to improve profitability in an area where an otherwise smooth running production line usually slows down. Automation here improves profitability significantly by increasing the throughput and assembly quality.
