<ul data-eligibleForWebStory="true">A welding project for fencing on a bridge utilized robotics and automation to reduce 10-hour manual tasks to 45 minutes.Properly Works collaborated with Seibel Modern to create a fully automated robotic work cell for welding tasks.The project achieved a 12-1 reduction in time and reduced touch-up work by 50% through automation.The AutomationDirect Productivity 3000 PLC coordinated the robotic work cell, ensuring precise positioning and safety measures.Special cases were accommodated through the PLC's programming, enabling variations in fence segments.The system addressed weld quality by using an automatic reamer and shielded cables for harsh EMI/RFI environments.The intuitive operator interface, built on the C-more HMI panel, allowed easy monitoring and control of the welding process.The client saw significant improvements in efficiency, with a single fence segment now taking only 45 minutes to produce.AutomationDirect was the preferred supplier for the project, providing necessary automation components for successful integration.The success of the project has led the client to consider further automation projects with Properly Works.
