Automation Systems Integrator

In Alnea, we design, build and implement robots, production lines, assembly lines, robotic stations. As an integrator of automation systems, we create non-standard solutions – EOL testers, prototype machines for automotive, electronics, construction, furniture. We implement Industry 4.0 in companies.

 

 

 

VR visualization

VR visualization helps us design the solution down to the smallest detail from the planning stage. We create virtual factories, digitize processes or build a digital twin.

 

Production lines

Our largest production lines were created for automotive. Stations connected by one process are used to produce valves that you have in the seats of your cars if you drive a Volvo or Audi.

 

 

Assembly lines

Assembly lines were ordered from us by companies producing lighting. 4 different automatic lines, semi-automatic and robotic, are used for the assembly of street lighting lamps. We adapt our lines to flexible production. Special positioners adapted to different dimensions of lamps allow for quick changeover.

 

EOL Testers

Testers are an important part of production. First of all, they increase the efficiency of the production line, but also save components, energy and time. As a system integrator, we have prepared, built test benches based on leak testers at the level of helium atoms. Our latest testers improve the work of installers in the production of fiber optic connectors.

 

We build machines

Yes, we build machines and custom solutions.   Our potting buffer takes over the resin-flooded diecasts, directs them to the right place on one of 4 different transport lanes. The resin solidifies in 24 hours, and after this time the finished elements can be picked up from the warehouse. We know that production is variable so we left room for 2 additional belts that can be expanded with the machine.

 

 

Robotic stations

We adapt our robotic workstations to the needs of our customers. 3 such station solder and assembly  TV tuners in the Czech Republic. And another robotic station gutter riveting hooks for a leading Polish roof manufacturer.

 

Industrial robots

We have been integrating industrial robots for more than 10 years.  We have already implemented KUKA, Mitsubishi, Omron, Fanuc, Yanome robots,  as well as mobile robots and Unoversal Robots cobots. A robot is just a machine that needs the right tools and optimal processes. That’s why we’ve created tools for robots:

– for soldering,

– Horus vision system,

Together with Schmalz , we have developed a Horus furniture packaging system and a special gripper that allows for flexible processes.

We have already integrated 72 robots and have experience in robot tooling!

 

Industry 4.0

The idea of Industry 4.0 requires many educational, popularizing and promotional activities. We created two demonstrators of  the industry of the future, and also conducted 3 rounds of training for managers. We implement Industry 4.0 and, as a system integrator, share our knowledge with others.

Automation of production processes – system integration

Modern production is primarily the digital transformation of companies and the automation of production processes. Today’s market is very demanding and difficult. In addition, the economy has still not recovered from the 2020 crisis, and now the war has reorganized value chains.

 

Digital Transformation

 

The digital transformation that Polish companies have started requires a reorganization of the approach to plans and budgets.

How to start automating production processes

Many companies are already implementing their transformation strategy. But how to start automating production processes? Preferably from an audit and a good plan. At Alnea, we know how to reorganize production – we come to the customer, take measurements, talk about the needs, possibilities and limitations of the production plant.

 

We design machines

 

We have been designing machines for industry for over 10 years. We started from automotive creating lines for the production of valves. We built assembly lines and robotic soldering stations. In 2021, we implemented a refubrishment line  with a total length of 400m.

 

The eye for a robot

 

Based on our experience, we have built an eye for a robot. We noticed what a problem is the positioning of elements on robotic lines. Sensors, vision systems, positioners are not only expensive, but also their integration takes a long time. Horus – an eye for a robot – i.e. a 3D vision system is a support for production processes at the highest level.

 

Cost-effective production

 

Cost-effective production is primarily flexible, tailored to the needs of the market and ergonomic. We know how to create machines, we design solutions ourselves. An example would be a packing station. Horus mounted on a KUKA robot and matched algorithms are able to pack different components into one package with a single tool, which we have developed together at Schmalz.

Furniture packing system

Packing parts of furniture into cardboard boxes is a complex process. Each package consists of many parts – furniture boards, fittings, spacers, filling. Usually in a furniture factory this is a manual process. Employees stand on both sides of the packaging line and insert the individual components. The packaging process can be quickly automated.

One system – many elements

How to make one system pack many different elements? Parts differ in size, color, shape and are usually stored on pallets. Horus is a system that positions the robot in space. It is an eye for the robot that supports the offset of production. This means that the Horus head robot scans the workspace and then takes the corresponding components and puts them in the packaging. Parts of the furniture do not need to be arranged correctly or additionally positioned. It is one system – many elements are packed.

 

Pack line

 

Pack line for many type of elements – flexible and reliable. Nest production gives opportunity to change products and quick retooling. On many lines packing of furniture elements there are many robots with different grippers. Horus Vision System and one Schmalz gripper can make almost every job on line.

 

KUKA robot

 

Kuka robot with Horus Vision System is involved in packing line in IKEA. Packing application handles various furniture in one packing. The system is flexible due to changes in lighting, color, shape and arrangement of elements. Customized gripper can pick a wooden parts, paper or honeycomb spacers also fittings and screws.

Watch the video to find a perfect solution for furniture packing system.

packing station

The furniture industry is implementing more and more automation solutions. After all, our region is a real woody basin and a paradise for furniture manufacturers. A leading company in the industry challenged us and on its behalf we prepared a packaging stand.

Packages with furniture

We analyzed 32 different packages of furniture in terms of individual elements that are in it – from furniture boards, fillings, fittings and spacers. We’ve also developed a clever way to put these parts in packages.

 

Horus – a flexible tool

The biggest problem in the packaging process was the way the elements were fed. They were stored on pallets without positioning. The robot as a tool is very precise, but blind. Horus – the eye for the robot allows for offset processes so that the robot could take plates and spacers directly from the pallet.

 

 

 

Factory 4.0

Robotic packaging was possible thanks to a set of tools. A Horus scanning head and a Schmalz vacuum gripper  are mounted to the KUKA robot arm. The robot scans the working field in 3D, the algorithm marks the individual parts, and the gripper takes them. This flexible solution allows you to take with one tool both furniture boards (regardless of color, shape or thickness), paper spacers, honeycomb spacers. Tacktime for individual processes was 6 s for individual parts of the packages.

Robogrant

At Alnea, we know how to automate with our heads. We also optimize processes in the furniture industry. We are also waiting for the announcement of the PARP – Robogrant competition.  It is to include support for furniture companies in the purchase of a robot. PARP has been conducting promotional activities for several months, but the competition has not yet been announced, and the deadline is still being postponed.

Construction industry can be also automatised! If you want to receive an offer for a robotized position - write to us! biuro@alnea.pl

Processes automation

Process automation is the Holy Grail of manufacturing and service companies. Desirable, difficult to implement, time-consuming and expensive. Actually, why do we perceive the automation and robotization industry in this way, or AiR for short? There are many reasons, and the need to find funds for modernization, staff training, a good business plan, i.e. also an appropriate ROI (Return of Investment – investment profitability indicator) are just some of them.

 

How to drive digital transformation

 

Because how many failed technology implementations are there – from machines, production lines to ERP systems that do not work as they should? How many robots are purchased that are sadly standing in a corner because resources have run out, the project manager has left or the concept has changed? These questions are only rhetorical. However, the answers to them are simply substantive. You need to gain knowledge on how to carry out digital transformation.

 

 

 

AiR Conference

 

The Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship is one of the largest, but also the poorest in Poland. We have many great companies, but each is focused on its own development without expanding cooperation, networking, supporting each other in various initiatives. We do not have a cluster that would be a navigator and a guarantor of a loyal partnership. The AiR conference  is one event a year, but the cooperation of representatives of distributors of automation, robotics, machines, IT solutions with owners, managers.   engineers of production or service companies  last all year round. A two-day exhibition, accompanying events, lectures, debates and a banquet allow you to start an organic way for suppliers, intermediaries and recipients to create new value chains.

 

Development prospects

 

Cooperation at the conference is only the beginning of a broader perspective of the company’s development, but also of the entire province, even more – Polish North-East – together with Pomorskie and Podlaski. In our activities for education and entrepreneurship development, also as a member of the Metalworking Cluster, we want to start our region and encourage companies to develop.  Inceptum, i.e. the Association  for Supporting the Development of Entrepreneurship in Warmia, Mazury and Powiśle, is the main initiator of the creation of a new Regional Smart Specialization which will be Green Automation and Digitization (ZAiC).

 

Registration for the AiR Conference

 

The two-day exhibition, which will take place

in Olsztyn on October 5-6, will be a great opportunity to present our local companies. But it is also an invitation to extended cooperation and promotion – we want to act together.

Submit a company for the exhibition – coordinator magdalena.kaminska@alnea.pl

Automatica Munich

The world is changing at a dizzying pace. The last hundred years, from the Henry Ford first production line to the present day, have been an unimaginable leap in the idea of ​​managing and producing goods. The constant expansion of the market, evolution, dying and the emergence of new products and services forces us to improve the tools and improve production. Automatica Munich is a kind of litmus test of the development of companies towards automation.

 

Better production

 

Robotics solutions reigned supreme at the trade fair in Munich. Applications for machine tending, robotic painting, welding, soldering, vision inspection are just some of the robotic packages presented by the exhibitors. Nevertheless, cobots and their accessories – quickchangers and grippers – took the place. Of course, there were also mobile robots that support logistics, but can also be an integral part of collaborating robots.

And like automation

 

Alnea starts with “A”, “A” Like automation, that is Automatica. We have always appreciated these fairs because they particularly touch upon problems related to modern production and technologies supporting companies in the field of new production lines, machines and robotic stations. We offer our partners comprehensive support in the field of process robotization.

 

Support levels

 

Cooperation with Alnea can take place on different principles, which include different levels of support. We encourage our clients to design activities – we create a concept in VR, and then we can implement it with the certainty that the assumptions are feasible. More and more companies are also asking about the possibility of modernizing machines and improving safety, so we also operate in this field. We invite you to our position – we are happy to share our knowledge and experience.
