The software that handles a mixed product range, logs every record for audit, and runs the robot you may already own.
For manufacturers running end-of-line functional testing on electronic components, the path to automation is rarely linear. Most engineering teams find themselves caught in a cycle of failed pilots. Commercial robot cells look flawless when handling a vendor’s uniform reference parts, but they halt production when introduced to real-world geometric variations, mixed product runs, or conditional test sequences that depend on a previous step's result.
When automation stalls, manufacturers fall back on manual testing. This transition drives up operational expenses and creates a direct regulatory liability. Under quality frameworks like IATF 16949, AS9100, or FDA 21 CFR Part 11, a manual logbook or a missing test record constitutes a documented audit finding.
€195K Saved with Zero Cloud Floor Dependency
We helped electrical equipment manufacturer completely replace manual QA at the end of their line with a custom robotic manipulator.
The system operates near-continuously through scheduled maintenance windows, completely automating €195K per year in manual testing costs. Hardware represents only 30% of an automation solution; the remaining 70% relies on software integration. This system connects directly to the client’s Manufacturing Execution System (MES), handles conditional test logic on the fly, and uses a local single-board computer to execute AI tasks without requiring an active internet connection on the floor.
The Webinar Agenda
- What's Broken in QA Labor Market: Analyzing the 2026 manufacturing data.
- Case Walkthrough: What the electric equipment manufacturer tried first, why their initial automation attempts failed, and the blueprint of the working custom system.
- The Optics and Hardware Stack: Why a single camera could not solve the positioning problem, requiring a dual-camera system paired with LiDAR sensors.
- Market Benchmarks: An objective comparison of current industry deployments and where standard setups fall short.
- The Operational Outcomes: How the system functions without human involvement, writing serial numbers, dates, and test results directly to AWS S3 to ensure tamper-proof audit trails.
Who This Is For
This session will be relevant for Engineering, Manufacturing, QA, Operations, and IT leaders working in regulated production environments and looking to scale testing throughput without increasing headcount.
