Automation and robotics for competitive production
High costs, fluctuating quality, and a shortage of skilled workers hinder many companies. gKteso uses robots in automation to specifically address these problems and position your production for the future. We show you how automation with robots can reduce scrap, shorten cycle times, and flexibly adjust your production to new requirements.
Why companies without automation fall behind
Manual processes take time, cause errors, and tie up valuable workers. Without automation, production remains prone to disruptions and inflexible. Companies using robots secure consistent quality, shorter delivery times, and stable capacity utilization.
Typical mistakes without automation:
-
High scrap: Manual activities often lead to inaccuracies that require expensive rework.
-
Downtimes: Shift changes, breaks, or illness-related absences slow down the production flow.
-
Limited flexibility: Implementing new product variants requires significant effort, and retooling times increase significantly.
- Shortage of skilled workers: Repetitive tasks tie up personnel that would be needed for qualified tasks.
What are automation and robotics?
Automation encompasses all technologies that replace or support manual work in manufacturing processes.
Robotics is the area where industrial robots take over tasks like screwing, gluing, deburring or assembling.
These systems combine mechanics, sensor technology, and software into reproducible and extendable processes. They can be integrated into existing systems via interfaces, thereby creating the basis for scalable production that responds flexibly to new demands while remaining economical.

DS Base: Machines for rework
DS Integrated: Machines for rework
DS Integrated combines several processes into one machine. Milling, deburring, brushing, measuring, testing, and marking run automatically in one pass. Integrated sensor technology and camera technology accurately capture complex geometries and process them completely. This machine is ideal for components where surface quality and dimensional accuracy are crucial.
AS Integrated: Machines for assembly
Advantages of automation in production
Quality assurance without fluctuations
Robots work with high repeatability. The system documents every screwing process, including torque and screwing depth. This reduces scrap and stabilizes quality.
Productivity without interruption
A robot cell processes up to 200 components per hour. Continuous operation without pauses increases output and significantly shortens lead times.
Flexibility with product variants
Thanks to modular design and programmable controls, you can quickly adapt manufacturing to new products or series. This saves retooling time and increases available production time.
Relief for skilled workers
Robots take over monotonous or physically demanding work. Your employees focus on value-added activities and oversee multiple systems in parallel.
Cost reduction through optimized processes
Less scrap and targeted material use noticeably reduce production costs. Shorter lead times increase the capacity utilization of the facilities, thereby reinforcing the cost advantage.
Resource conservation with the system
Automated processes use materials specifically, avoid overproduction, and reduce energy consumption. This saves costs and conserves resources.
Future and trends of automation and robotics
The trend is clear: robots are working smarter today, acting more flexibly and using resources more sustainably. Companies that invest early secure a clear advantage in quality, speed, and competitiveness. The combination of robotics and digitalization will fundamentally change manufacturing in the coming years.
