Designed to Automate
Unmatched expertise in automated tightening for a seamless assembly line
Atlas Copco’s expertise in the manufacturing industry has gone unmatched for over 150 years. Today, our automated tightening solutions continue to reimagine the assembly line – simplifying and optimizing to ensure efficiency, precision, and reliability at every stage.
Why automate your assembly line?
Intense competition, rapid change, and growing difficulties in recruiting the right expertise mean that automated manufacturing has gone from a beneficial luxury to an essential strategic necessity. Alongside many advantages, automating your assembly line will:
Reduce callbacks and line stops
Automation minimizes errors. Solutions are designed to perform tasks precisely, ensuring products meet the highest standards, with fewer disruptions to the line
Effective automation is fast, but it must also be precise. Our solutions guarantee consistent quality, eliminating the variations that can occur in manual processes.
Automated logging and tracking provide critical visibility – meticulously logging, saving, and tracking every part and product that moves through the line. This makes it easy to backtrack when there’s a post-production issue, providing the information you need to make decisions.
In addition, meeting sustainability goals is made easier with automated production solutions – reducing energy and resource consumption while maintaining fast and precise delivery.
Why automate with Atlas Copco?
With over 150 years of developing, evolving, and leading the field of tightening operations and engineering, we’ve learned from experience how to be a reliable partner to our customers. Our customers value efficiency and reliability with a high degree of simplicity. That’s why we build automation solutions that are easy to manage, maintain, and troubleshoot. It’s our responsibility to keep your tightening process performing at its best.
At Atlas Copco, we develop high-value solutions based on a profound insight into real needs and challenges. Therefore, we start working with our customers and our networks at the earliest stages of the process. This ensures that the most appropriate value proposition and business case are identified straight away.
The digital simulation of concepts and ideas at an early stage is a crucial step on the way to a solution. Even though we are not the line integrator, it is important to understand the en-tire process within our developments. With the digital twin, we can test different scenarios and combinations to create a solid analysis for your ROI.
While digital simulations are invaluable, verifying reality and reliability requires the creation of real prototypes and pilots. This is done in our innovation centers but also in your technology centers or pilot areas. Additionally, it's crucial to consider all personas and incorporate feedback for final adjustments and insights.
These stages culminate in a standardized, scalable, and modular platform—an ecosystem where established products, principles, and solutions are combined to tailor to your specific application or project needs. Modularity ensures flexibility, while scalability ensures consistent technology across various complexities, whether at the plant level or globally with local support.
