10-Robot System Increases Accuracy and Improves Productivity
Newell Brands is a leading global consumer goods company with a strong portfolio of well-known brands. Previously, at the company's 850,000 square foot facility in Mogadore, Ohio, Rubbermaid product kits were being manually assembled on a box line with 15-20 operators. With a focus on increasing productivity, improving consistency, and shipping a more accurate product to customers, Newell turned to Bastian Solutions to design and implement a robotic system for kit assembly.
