Material Handling in Ann Arbor, MI

Ann Arbor, Michi­gan is not just home to the Uni­ver­si­ty of Michi­gan Wolver­ines. It is also the home to sev­er­al dif­fer­ent indus­tri­al man­u­fac­tur­ers. In the last few decades, many of these same man­u­fac­tur­ers have been turn­ing to robot­ic automa­tion to improve their facil­i­ty oper­a­tions from day to day.

UBE Machin­ery Inc. is one of many Michi­gan-based injec­tion mold­ing com­pa­nies that can ben­e­fit from automa­tion. Based in Ann Arbor, UBE builds plas­tics mold­ing and met­al cast­ing tech­nolo­gies for com­pa­nies around the world. But who builds their sys­tems? Well that’s where robots can come into play. Not only can robots be cast as the star in a robot­ic sys­tem or work cell, but they can also fab­ri­cate and build robot­ic sys­tems. In sev­er­al robot­ic com­pa­nies, like Fanuc Robot­ics, robots have been build­ing oth­er robots and sys­tems for years.

Maybe you don’t want your robot­ic sys­tem to han­dle and assem­ble sys­tem parts. Maybe, instead, you need your robots to trans­port, load or pal­letize some­thing that is dif­fi­cult for humans to lift. This is where com­pa­nies like Edwards Broth­ers Mal­loy can be assist­ed through robot­ic automa­tion. The book print­ing busi­ness brings a lot of weight in a small size. Even small box­es of paper and book print­ing runs can be heavy, tedious or injury-induc­ing for the aver­age labor­er to lift day after day for years. With robot automa­tion, this is no longer an issue.

So where do the Wolver­ines get their robot­ic sys­tems and parts? Well, despite being in their sworn enemy’s state, we hope that they will come to Ohio – Mar­i­on, Ohio to be pre­cise – for all their robot­ic needs. Robots​.com, locat­ed in Mar­i­on, OH, is a cer­ti­fied inte­gra­tor for ABB, KUKA, Uni­ver­sal Robots, Motoman, and Fanuc robot­ics. If you have a need, we can ful­fill it.
