Case Study

On Site Service of ABB Robot Case Packing System

Problem faced:

This customer is a fast-growing specialty Yogurt manufacturer faced with rising supply demands from their grocery customers who are selling their yogurt faster than it can be supplied. Step-by-step we have worked with the customer to improve their production out-put and part of that process has been partnering with them in their planned and pro-active maintenance program.

AFI Systems solution:

This system is crucial to their operations as the robot cell places the finished yogurt packs being conveyed into the cell from one direction into the shipping boxes being conveyed into the cell from the other direction.

  • We performed maintenance on the robot's belts and gears.
  • Checked the bearing lubrication.
  • Tested the conveying system and the scanners.
  • Then refreshed the system programming calibration.

Field service - standard AFI practices

Whether you call or send an email to us, you will get through to someone who can help schedule one of our technicians to come to your facility quickly. Most industrial or manufacturers have tight operating or production schedules where there is never a good time for a machine or critical piece of equipment to break down. Get back to operating quickly again with AFI Systems. Consider these advantages:

  • We come to you to ensure the fastest field service possible - usually within a day or two.
  • Our technicians can inspect your entire machine/equipment for potential issues - both electronic and mechanical problems are common, and the real problem is not always obvious!
  • Any issues that cannot be resolved on-site will travel back to our factory with the technician.

We believe in being accessible. Our account managers / customer service team promptly answers incoming calls, and provides quick responses to incoming emails. Many of our customers have 24/7 schedules and we always try to service their needs accordingly.
