Upper San­dusky is not exact­ly a large town in Ohio. The town of less than 7,000 res­i­dents has inter­est­ing his­to­ry. Though it is far­ther south than San­dusky, Ohio, it is at the upper reach­es of the San­dusky Riv­er, hence the name Upper San­dusky. At the inter­sec­tion of impor­tant US High­ways 30 and 23, the city has access to sev­er­al ship­ping routes, which make it per­fect for man­u­fac­tur­ers. Those man­u­fac­tur­ers, many who deal in glass, auto­mo­tive and build­ing prod­uct man­u­fac­tur­ing can improve their busi­ness­es with the use of robot­ic automa­tion.

One man­u­fac­tur­er in Upper San­dusky, Guardian, actu­al­ly works in all three indus­tries – glass, auto­mo­tive and build­ing prod­ucts. All of these indus­tries use appli­ca­tions that can be ele­vat­ed with robot automa­tion. Fiber­glass parts for cars have to be cut in a pre­cise man­ner to make sure that the parts accu­rate­ly fit the car they are made for. Robot cut­ting sys­tems can cut fiber­glass parts with pin­point pre­ci­sion, as well as mak­ing sure the cuts are smooth.

By using these robot­ic sys­tems, man­u­fac­tur­ers can also improve the health lev­els in their shops. Fiber­glass cut­ting can send par­ti­cles into the air that can cause res­pi­ra­tion prob­lems for work­ers. By mov­ing work­ers away from the dan­ger­ous area, man­u­fac­tur­ers can cut down on sick leave and down­time. Also, robot­ic sys­tems can run vir­tu­al­ly 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. They do not need days off, vaca­tion or breaks, which decreas­es down­time even fur­ther and saves man­u­fac­tur­ers on labor cuts.

Along with fiber­glass cut­ting, robots can also help Guardian with the cut­ting of glass for build­ings and auto­mo­biles, debur­ring of fiber­glass, glass and oth­er build­ing prod­ucts, and even the pol­ish­ing of fin­ished pieces. The appli­ca­tion pos­si­bil­i­ties are almost end­less, and the sav­ings to the man­u­fac­tur­ers are almost as endless.
