Collaboration with SKOV A/S

In order to strengthen its global competitiveness, the Danish manufacturing company SKOV A / S would, among other things, reduce operator and wasted time in production.

SKOV wanted a solution that easily streamlined the handling of both high-volume printed circuit boards and low-number printed circuit boards – of course without compromising operational stability or safety.

Therefore, in 2018, SKOV decided to invest in another flexible plug & play automation solution from Technicon.

High Mix – Low Volume Automation

“The collaboration has worked impeccably. Technicon has from start to finish contributed to our automation initiatives coming well from land and now being well implemented. The dialogue has been constructive throughout, and as agreed, we have been trained along the way and have thus been strengthened. our internal competencies. ”

“Along the way, Technicon has shared its know-how about automation and its great insight into collaborative robots. At the same time, Technicon’s employees have focused on the details and have delivered both robust and usable solutions and an end product that we are really happy about. We has also received further inspiration for the next step in our automation efforts. ” – Frank Hjøllund Jensen, Production Technical Manager SKOV A / S.

THE SOLUTION

Technicon delivered a modular plug & play solution, composed of selected standard products from their range:

• A modular table with a collaborative UR5 robot.
• Festo grippers with precision and signal control as well as optimal user interface.
• Built-in UR-Cap and QR code scanning of production paper, test fixture and each individual circuit board.
• The entire set-up was “line” CE marked, together with SKOV’s own test equipment and a print handling equipment purchased from SKOV.

STRENGTHENED GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS

With Technicon’s plug & play solution, SKOV was able to handle varying printed circuit boards much faster and more efficiently. The clear productivity advantages mean that SKOV has gone from 0 to 90% automation of the print handling in the module test process.

SKOV A/S’ BENEFITS

• Reduced wasted time and clear productivity gains.
• Education and practical inspiration for how additional automation solutions can improve efficiency and realize the company’s development potential.
• Strengthened global competitiveness and a continued position as an international leader.

“It has been an engaging and involving process. Good dialogue before, during and after two successful automation projects together with Technicon and possibly more projects in the near future, makes it easy for me to recommend a collaboration with Technicon” – Frank Hjøllund Jensen, Production Technology chef, SKOV A / S.
