#Automotive #RoboticIntegration

Automotive Headlight Injection Gate Laser Cutting × Robotic Automation

Robotic cutting cell with automotive parts

Project Overview

Customer Leading domestic automotive lighting Tier 1 supplier — headlamps, tail lights, fog lamps
Our Role Solution design & project delivery lead
Application Injection gate laser cutting for automotive lighting parts — automated production line
Status ✓ Delivered & running stably

The Challenge

  • Manual gate cutting — inconsistent quality, low efficiency
  • Frequent model changeovers — traditional fixtures inadequate
  • Yield rate stuck at ~85%, high rework cost
Before: manual cutting After: automated robotic cutting

Our Solution

  1. 1 CO₂ laser cutting system with adjustable focus point, adaptable to multiple materials & thicknesses
  2. 2 6-axis robot arm with vision positioning — fully automated loading & unloading
  3. 3 Quick-change fixture system — changeover time reduced from 45 min to 5 min
  4. 4 Cycle time optimization — matched to customer's 12 sec/piece requirement

Results

Yield Rate
85% 99.2%
Cutting Time
8 sec/piece line speed achieved
Labor
3 operators/shift 1 patrol per line
Annual Savings
~¥680K rework & labor

#E-Cigarette #MESIntegration

World's Top 3 E-Cigarette OEM — Full-Trace DPM Marking × MES Integration

E-cigarette traceability marking production line

Project Overview

Customer Global top 3 e-cigarette OEM — monthly output exceeds 10 million units
Our Role Solution design & technical delivery lead
Application Traceability code marking on e-cigarette components + full MES integration
Status ✓ 12 production lines delivered, all running 24/7

The Challenge

  • FDA/TPD compliance requiring full product traceability — mandatory regulation in multiple countries
  • Production line speed: 8,000 PCS/hour — conventional marking couldn't keep up
  • End-to-end traceability needed: raw material → production → QC → shipment
UV laser marking station MES data interface for traceability integration

Our Solution

  1. 1 High-speed UV laser marking system — marking time <0.15 sec per piece
  2. 2 Deep MES integration — real-time data exchange & verification between marking system and customer's MES
  3. 3 Multi-station parallel marking — matching 8,000 PCS/hour throughput
  4. 4 3-tier traceability system: unit code → carton code → pallet code, full chain verifiable

Results

Marking Speed
4,200+ PCS/hour/station

Line requirements fully met

Traceability Accuracy
99.98%+ error rate <0.02%
Compliance
FDA / TPD audit passed
Scale
12 production lines

All running stably since delivery
