start producing<\/a> 150,000 passenger cars per year from 2024, with a sales target of 10,000 units to be sold locally. The other units are planned to be exported to Southeast Asian and European countries, cementing Thailand\u2019s role as the EV production hub within the region. \u201cThailand has put herself at the forefront of the incoming EV wave in automation, and the policies along with agreements with electric car manufacturers show a major shift in focus,\u201d said Thanakrit Thaneerat, Universal Robots Country Manager, Thailand. \u201cWith ambitions in the manufacturing of EVs and making the country the region\u2019s EV hub, there will be issues arising within the manufacturing industry that cobots can aid with.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Cobots and Alleviating Manufacturing Issues<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To aid the country\u2019s journey to becoming ASEAN\u2019s EV production hub, the implementation of cobots can solve various issues faced within the manufacturing industry. As some of the assembly process requires the introduction of specific automation technologies to ensure product standards, cobots offer the solution for manufacturers.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Production criteria includes quality and repeatability, ergonomics, operating precision, as well as quality. Collaborative applications help address these operational issues, improving the series of production tasks previously performed manually. \u201cCobots can help guarantee the quality requirements as well as free operators from repetitive and physically demanding manual tasks,\u201d said Thanakrit. \u201cThe marvel of man-machine collaboration is that it allows workers to be stationed at processes that are of greater value and require the human touch.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, the iconic Fiat 500 has also jumped onto the EV bandwagon, with the Italian brand now offering an electric variant of the car. This shift meant that the car\u2019s production line required the introduction of specific automation technologies to meet product standards. This, along with the staff\u2019s high average age, prompted them to adopt 11 UR cobots at the factory to aid with production.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The cobots helped with tasks which include the application of waterproof liner to vehicle doors, checking on soft-top dimensions, hood mounting, and tightening of rear-side door hinges among others.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Keeping Up with Automation and Ensuring Growth<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As Thailand grows into becoming the region\u2019s EV manufacturing hub, automation will be key to growth within the industry. \u201cWith the EV manufacturing industry being one of the country\u2019s strengths, it is important to strengthen the grip instead of being complacent and falling behind others,\u201d said Thanakrit.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Thailand\u2019s robot density in the manufacturing sector was behind the global average<\/a> in 2019, and has been lagging behind regional counterparts such as Singapore. However, Thailand gained 36%<\/a> in their population of robotics in 2021, and the continued upward trajectory will further improve multiple sectors, including the EV manufacturing one. \u201cOverall, the adoption of automation will help with productiveness, and profitability due to its effectiveness and efficiency. It will further improve the industry and make it more appealing for investors, which in turn will ensure further growth for the sector.\u201d","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Amid significant growth in the Thai Electric Vehicle market, the helping hand of collaborative robots can help manufacturers deal with newly accelerated peaks \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Universal Robots, the Danish collaborative robot (cobot) company, has urged electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers in…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10769,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[3303],"yoast_head":"\n
