The use of ABB robots has taken injection molding at medmix Switzerland AG to a new level. The company, a worldwide market leader in producing precision devices for mixing, dozing, and application of liquids, identified the need to improve availability and conservation of resources early on in their development and manufacturing process. After careful evaluation, they realized that these specifications could only be met with the integration of robotics.
Rob motion, a partner consultancy, helped to implement the production of new mixers in Switzerland using ABB robots. The challenge was to create a competitive local production without the use of buffers and with minimal rejections. The new solution combines injection molding, assembly, and logistics, managing production in accordance with a one-piece flow.
The use of ABB robots has significantly increased availability, productivity, and sustainability in production. The products are precisely handled throughout the entire process, from parts removal to assembly and quality checks up to packaging. Medmix has experienced success not only in the dental area but also in other parts of their production where they have converted to robot technology. This has allowed them to offer their customers products that meet the highest quality standards.

Quality, precision and time play the most important roles when it comes to manufacturing dental products. The focus is always on patient safety and customer satisfaction. Instead of buffering production delays via intermediate storage, the Swiss 1K and 2K application systems manufacturer medmix has taken a different, much more efficient approach by using ABB robots.
