In the complex and demanding automotive glass industry, precision, flexibility and speed are of paramount importance. The Italian-based company Global Automation recognized the need to improve production processes for handling automotive glass. The main challenge was to achieve gentle and efficient handling of glass components. This required a robotic solution that offered both high precision and the necessary safety features for human-robot collaboration. By integrating Synapticon's advanced motion control technology, Global Automation embarked on a transformative cobot journey. This introduction enabled the company to achieve greater accuracy, improved efficiency and a safer working environment, setting new standards in automotive manufacturing.

Successful implementation of cobots in automotive glass production

Global Automation's cobot journey: precision, safety and efficiency
‍
Filandro D'Ottavio from Global Automation emphasizes the critical need for more precise and flexible cobots in the automotive sector, especially for tasks such as automotive glass production. The challenge lies in the inherent fragility of glass combined with the need for fast, repeatable and safe movements. Conventional automation often reaches its limits when it comes to the delicate handling required for such sensitive materials. By using Synapticon technology, Global Automation has been able to equip its cobots with the ability to handle automotive glass with exceptional accuracy and sensitivity, which has significantly improved the production process. This improvement enables higher performance, reduces the risk of damage and creates a safe collaborative workspace for human operators. The precision of motion control is the key to any successful task.
