Case Study:

Volkswagen Slovakia Automates Welding Jig Feeding with Photoneo 3D Vision

Manual part loading is the weak link in an otherwise automated body shop. When the handoff from bin to welding jig stalls, the entire line stalls.

Discover how Volkswagen Slovakia partnered with Photoneo to eliminate this manual bottleneck. By deploying advanced 3D Vision-Guided Robotics (VGR), Volkswagen successfully automated the most demanding step in their welding cell—even with randomly piled, highly reflective metal parts.
