A Tier 1 Automotive supplier needed the ability to precisely measure and control their machine processes. But as years passed, fewer employees had the necessary skills to operate the machinery. The skills gap could potentially cause the supplier inefficiencies and reduced capabilities.

Martin’s Measurement Specialists visited the site to assess the machine and evaluate the process. We developed a solution and installed a series of robot-loaded Equator measuring machines, each with protective enclosures.

The fully automated machines eliminated the need for an employee to operate the machinery. The machines also expanded the customer’s capabilities by allowing them to handle smaller quantities than before. Now the customer can accept more business, increasing production and sales.

Closing the Skills Gap: Martin’s automated solution bridged the skills gap by eliminating the need for manual operation, allowing the customer to maintain precision without specialized labor.

Increased Capacity and Efficiency: The robot-loaded Equator measuring machines not only ensured accurate measurements but also expanded the supplier’s production capabilities, enabling them to handle smaller orders and attract new business.

Enhanced Profitability: By automating the process, Martin helped the customer increase efficiency and take on more work, ultimately boosting their production capacity and sales potential.
