ASYST Technologies, a leader in injection molding and advanced automation solutions, has announced an enhanced strategic partnership as a FANUC Authorized System Integrator. By merging FANUC’s industry-leading robotics with ASYST’s proprietary tooling expertise and process innovation, the company now delivers systems that maximize production efficiency, ensure flawless quality control, and empower manufacturers to strategically redeploy their workforce.

Automation-Driven Efficiency Gains

ASYST’s FANUC-integrated robotic cells optimize high-volume production through:

• Cycle Time Reduction: Automated part handling, inspection, and packaging deliver up to 30% faster throughput.
• Uninterrupted Operations: 24/7 production runs with minimal supervision.
• Workforce Optimization: Skilled labor shifts from repetitive tasks to process oversight, engineering, and innovation.

“Robots don’t replace humans—they elevate what teams achieve,” said Ben Spacek, Automation Division Manager. “When machines handle high-volume material handling or packaging, operators focus on complex problem-solving, boosting both productivity and job satisfaction.”

Robotics-Enabled Quality Assurance

For mission-critical industries like medical technology and automotive manufacturing, FANUC-integrated systems ensure consistent output:

• Error-Proofing Inspections: Vision systems detect microscopic defects in real time, achieving zero defective parts.
• Micron-Level Precision: Robots perform delicate insert loading, overmolding, and part removal with +/-0.0008-inch repeatability.
• Compliance Automation: Built-in traceability and documentation streamline ISO 9001 adherence.

Industry-Specific Innovation

Leveraging 25+ years of plastics and automation expertise, ASYST solves complex manufacturing challenges:

• Medical Device Excellence: Machine vision inspection systems for sensitive healthcare applications.
• Custom Assembly Solutions: Multi-material component handling via tailored end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) that supports insert molding processes.
• Scalable Integration: Solutions range from standalone workcells to fully automated production lines.
