Process Overview
This solution is an assembly automation system that automates hazardous EV PTC heater assembly using Hyundai Robotics collaborative robots (YL012) and industrial robots (HH7, HH020).
This project was implemented to safely automate hazardous high-voltage/high-current operations and enable 24/7 production of automotive PTC heaters.
By unmanning high-voltage/high-current processes, the solution increased productivity through 24-hour operation and reduced the defect rate.

Recommended Use Cases
Automated Electric Vehicle Console Assembly with EPSON SCARA Robots! 🦾
Process Overview Bigwave Robotics (Marosol) established an automated assembly line for console parts for Kia Motors' newly launched SUV-type electric vehicle. The existing console assembly line is a large-scale assembly line, requiring an average of 40-60 workers to assemble manually. The lack of automation experience presented challenges in securing space and recruiting assembly workers. Frequent staff turnover and resulting skill level issues hindered productivity. To address this, the company replaced some workers with robots, addressing the labor shortage and consistently ensuring productivity by adapting to the changing workforce. Warranty Period 1 Year Performance Year 2024 Project Duration 4 Months Project Background and Objectives Building a multi-product automated production line and reducing labor costs through robotic automation Preventing mis-assembly and mis-assembly using a lot-of-lot system and ensuring traceability Remote control and integrated management using SOLlink
Automotive Harness Component Assembly with a Vibratory Feeder and EPSON C4L
Process Overview This solution assembles automotive harness components using a vibratory feeder combined with an Epson C4L robot and a vision system. Bulk-fed parts are separated by the vibratory feeder, and the separated parts are located through vision for picking. By quickly separating, detecting, and picking parts in line with production speed, productivity can be improved.
