THE HONEYWELL CASE STUDY
OVERVIEW
PTC has successfully provided an automation system for Honeywell to use for their sensor test station, eliminating the need for the manual loading and unloading of about 2000 pieces a day, and along the way, increasing the first-time pass rate from 93% to 99%.
The highly automated system, designed and developed by PTC, features a high accuracy 6-axis industrial robotic arm, PLC-controlled loading and unloading units, integrated and compatible HMI and utilizes visual analysis technology for automatic sensor testing.
