Expert in industrial robot integration on production lines

SEMSO, for customized industrial robot integration

Integrating robotics into your business is an important step in staying competitive in your industry. Would you like to modernize your production line by automating the most laborious tasks? SEMSO, a machine manufacturer and specialist in industrial robot integration, puts its experience at your service to achieve a successful customized integration.

Why is robotics integration important?

Automation and robot integration on your production line are a necessity with the advent of Industry 4.0. In addition to productivity gains, integrating robotics into your business enables:

• Modernize production;
• Improve output, as the industrial robot performs tasks faster and continuously;
• Favor working conditions by delegating the most laborious tasks to robotics;
• Optimize the quality of your production.

SEMSO manufactures its machines, programs and integrates industrial robots to offer a solution and integration perfectly adapted to your company's specificities and your challenges.

Successfully integrating robotics into your production with SEMSO

Integrating an industrial robot is a delicate stage. It's important to think ahead to avoid mistakes and production stoppages causing sometimes significant losses in your productivity.

While each project is unique, SEMSO proceeds in the same way:

• Project study including risk analysis, functional analysis, mechanical and electrical studies to anticipate the reactions of your production line when integrating robotics. During this stage, we get to know your project and expectations. We find solutions adapted to each project.
• Fabrication of your machines and robotic cells directly within our company, since in addition to offering robotics integration, we design your machines and robotic lines;
• Robot programming;
• Installation and integration directly within your company;
• Commissioning of industrial robots ;
• Training: we offer training so that you can benefit from autonomous management of your new machines.

SEMSO engineers and experts remain at your service even after the robotics have been installed. Our maintenance contracts enable us to meet your needs and expectations in the event of an industrial robot failure or breakdown.

A wide range of industrial robotic machines and solutions

Backed by thirty years' experience, SEMSO offers a wide range of industrial robotic machines and solutions. Discover among others:

• Conveyors, dosers, spray-bat machines, industrial brushers, cutting machines or even industrial cartoners for automating your production line;
• Packaging machines, portioning machines, stacker-unstackers, loading-unloading machines, case packers or even case packer-unstacker for the integration of robotics on your packaging line;
• Quality control machines for the inspection line.

SEMSO is an expert in integrating industrial robots into existing or new production environments. Unlike the manufacture of complete cells, our approach here focuses on the fine-tuning of robotics to already-operational lines, with constraints of space, safety, software interfacing and process compatibility.

Industrial robot integration at SEMSO is based on a detailed functional analysis of your flows, trajectory simulation, rate studies, and validation of man-machine interactions. Our team works on projects involving the modernization of manual islands, the replacement of semi-automatic machines, or partial automation with a view to continuous improvement.

We work with leading robotics brands (Fanuc, KUKA, ABB, Stäubli, Yaskawa) and develop in-house the automation engineering required for smooth, secure integration: PLC programming, fieldbus communication (Profinet, EtherCAT, Modbus), task synchronization and integration into existing digital architecture (MES, ERP, SCADA).

Key differences from complete manufacturing:

• Intervention on heterogeneous environments already in production
• Respect for existing physical and digital constraints
• Co-design with your maintenance, production and quality teams
• On-site validation with minimum production downtime

Typical integration examples:

• Replacement of a manual palletizing station by a 6-axis robot
• Automation of a screwing or gluing station with integrated quality control
• Addition of a pick-and-place robot for machine infeed
• Synchronization of a robot with existing conveyors and variable cadence

SEMSO is committed to delivering robotic integration solutions that are reliable, scalable and aligned with your industrial strategy, while controlling intervention times and short-term return-on-investment issues.
