Production robotization

Production robotization means introducing industrial and collaborative robots into process operations. It is a complex undertaking that covers the design, integration and maintenance of robotic systems. Such solutions replace manual labour at high-load stations and raise quality and overall production efficiency, which matters in a competitive market with demanding quality standards.

Teswel offers the full cycle of robotization work. We have been developing and manufacturing robotic systems for more than 15 years, helping customers find the right balance between investment and the required result.

Modern robotization of industrial production rests on two main types of equipment:

1. Industrial robots. Robots of various payloads and performance for a range of production operations. Their advantages are endurance, tolerance of high loads and undemanding environmental requirements. They are indispensable where high accuracy, speed and repeatability are required.

2. Collaborative robots (cobots). A new generation of machines able to work directly alongside people without safety fencing. Their distinguishing feature is a dedicated safety system that rules out injury. One example is the SafeSkin technology developed by Dobot, which detects an obstacle in advance and stops the robot before physical contact (response time 0.01 s). Robotic cells built on cobots automate stations where fully isolating people from the machine is technically impossible or economically unjustified.

It is important to understand that the robot is only part of a robotic system. The system is fitted with additional equipment (conveyors, pallet wrappers, positioners, grippers and so on) and programmed for a specific task. Integrating industrial robots takes deep expertise: from tooling design and component selection to programming and embedding into the plant's existing infrastructure. Such end-to-end solutions are one of Teswel's core competences.

What production robotization solves

• Robotic systems solve a set of management and production tasks that directly affect a company's financial results.
• Higher productivity. Robots know no fatigue, lunch breaks or sick leave. They can run 24/7, raising output without expanding the workforce.
• Lower production costs. Despite the initial investment, robotizing a process cuts costs: scrap and material overconsumption are eliminated.
• Stable product quality. The human factor is one of the causes of inconsistent quality. A robot performs every operation with the set accuracy, which matters most in welding, painting and assembly.
• Greater safety. Robotization removes people from zones with harmful conditions: high temperature, fumes, risk of injury, heavy physical work.
• Flexible production. Modern robotic systems can be reconfigured for new production tasks, so a plant can respond quickly to the market without radically changing its line.

Where robotization is used

• Teswel delivers projects across industries, adapting each solution to the specifics of the plant.
• Machine building and metalworking: robotic welding (MIG/MAG, TIG, plasma, laser welding and cladding), milling, cutting.
• Food industry: palletizing, sorting of raw materials, packing products into boxes. Robots here work under strict sanitary rules. We also install product marking lines integrated with the Chestny Znak national track-and-trace system.
• Agriculture: robotization at the processing and packing stages and in the logistics of finished products.
• Textile and light industry: robotized cutting, material handling and packing of finished goods.
• Robotization is also widely used in aerospace, petrochemicals and logistics.

Implementation stages

The success of a robotization project depends directly on the quality of preparation and on staged implementation.

1. Analysis of production processes. Teswel engineers receive and analyse the technical specification and audit your production. The problem areas to be automated first are identified.

2. Design of the robotic system. Our specialists prepare a technical and commercial proposal, choose the optimal configuration and design the layout of the station.

3. Selection and integration of equipment. The main units (industrial or collaborative robots) are ordered; additional equipment is designed and manufactured. Teswel has its own design department, which lets us take on complex engineering projects.

4. Programming and set-up. The system is assembled at Teswel's production site, programmed for your tasks and tested.

5. Commissioning. The finished equipment is delivered to your site, installed, commissioned and put into operation.

6. Staff training. Robots cannot be introduced without trained operating staff. We train your specialists to work with the new equipment and hand over all the necessary documentation.

7. Service support. After the project is complete we provide technical support and post-warranty service to keep the system running without interruption.

Advantages of production robotization

• Less scrap. Removing the human factor brings the scrap rate close to zero.
• Lower staff costs. Freeing qualified staff from routine or hazardous operations lets you redirect them to more complex tasks: equipment maintenance, quality control, process optimisation.
• 24/7 operation. Robots need no days off or holidays. Robotized processes keep equipment running almost without stops.
• Fast return on investment.

Why order production robotization from us

Buying a robot is not enough to robotize production. You need a robotic system with the right equipment and software for a specific production process. Teswel acts not just as a supplier but as the integrator, developer and manufacturer of the robotic system, accountable for the result.

We offer the full cycle of work and an end-to-end approach: from audit, design and implementation of the robotic system to service and staff training. You deal with a single contractor, not a chain of intermediaries.

Expertise in complex processes. We specialise both in standard robotization solutions and in complex engineering projects. In 15 years we have completed more than 200 projects.

Adaptation to your production. Every robotic system is designed around the layout of your facilities, your product range and your performance requirements.

Service support. We provide technical support at every stage of operation. When necessary our specialists travel to your site promptly for service work.

FAQ

How much does production robotization cost?

The cost of a project is calculated individually and depends on the complexity of the process, the type and configuration of the robot (industrial or collaborative), the tooling required and the scope of work. We prepare a detailed technical and commercial proposal after auditing your production, which allows the budget and payback period to be defined precisely.

How long does robot implementation take?

Lead times depend on the complexity of the project. Firm dates are fixed at the design stage.

Which processes can be robotized?

The highest demand is for robotized arc and laser welding, cladding, cutting, milling, palletizing, adhesive application, machine tending and logistics.

Can robots be integrated into an existing line?

Yes. We robotize not only from scratch but also modernise existing facilities. Integrating a robotic system into an existing line minimises production downtime and delivers an economic effect quickly.
