Applications.
Where the equipment runs: named industries, named metrics, named cycle times. Pattern-level facts; no real customers are identified in this demo build. In a production build, each application is accompanied by a sourced case study and a named integrator.
Battery cell assembly
From tray to module without a human hand.
A North American cell manufacturer needed to assemble 18650 modules at a rate the line could not hit with manual labor. Twelve V12 arms and two Eye 360 modules now run the cell-to-module stage continuously, two shifts, no human contact between tray and the QC cage.
Throughput up 38%. Scrap rate down 22%. Cycle time per module under nine seconds.
- Throughput change
- +38%
- Scrap rate change
- -22%
- Cycle time
- 8.6 s / module
- Uptime over 12 months
- 99.2%
Warehouse throughput
Eighteen rovers replacing a fleet that was always one short.
A regional 3PL with a 280,000 sq ft fulfillment center retired a legacy AGV fleet and rolled in eighteen R200 rovers over a single weekend. No floor tape, no rewiring; the rovers mapped the building in 4 hours and went live Monday morning.
Picks per hour up 26%. Labor reallocated to packout. Pay-back inside thirteen months.

Precision machining
Tending three CNCs with one arm and zero supervision.
A Tier-2 aerospace supplier needed lights-out machining of titanium brackets across three Mazak cells. A single V12 with an Eye 360 module now runs all three through the night shift, loading raw stock and unloading finished parts onto a verification station that the morning crew walks past on the way in.
Lights-out hours up from 0 to 38 per week. First-pass yield over 99.4%.
- Lights-out hours / week

- Operator hours saved / week

Automotive assembly
Two V30 arms and one R200 working a sub-assembly line.
An OEM's pre-assembly line for door subframes was the bottleneck of an entire shift. Two V30 arms now drive the lifting and torque, an R200 shuttles finished frames to the next station, and the operators watch dashboards.
Bottleneck cleared. Line balanced across stations within 4% of cycle time.
- Cycle time variance
- <4%
- Operator-reported injuries
- Down to zero (eight months)
Small electronics
A V12 plus an Eye 360 doing the work that used to require a microscope.
A New Jersey contract manufacturer of medical sensor PCBs deployed a V12 and an Eye 360 module on a single line to handle 0402 component placement and final inspection. The line used to need two operators with magnifiers; now it needs one operator watching three lines.
Operator load on the line down two-thirds. Defect-per-million from 220 to 28.
- Defects / million
- 220 to 28
- Operators per line
- 2 to ~0.3
