At the heart of Liebherr's commitment to innovation and efficiency is the seamless integration of cutting-edge technology across its eleven business sectors. A standout example of this integration is the use of our Franka robots in Liebherr's electronics apprenticeship programs.
Simplifying Complex Tasks with Franka Robots
Liebherr employs the Franka robot to assist apprentices in processing various components, making their training more engaging and efficient. A particularly illustrative use case involves a task that would typically be considered mundane and tedious: screw lubrication.
In this task, apprentices learn to program the Franka robot to perform a sequence of actions. First, the robot picks up a screw from the box, introduces it into the lubrication unit, lubricates it, and then returns it to the box. By taking on these tasks, the robot allows junior employees to focus on programming rather than the messy and tedious job of lubricating screws. This not only makes their training cleaner but also more interesting and challenging. By independently automating a step in the process, apprentices gain confidence and experience a sense of accomplishment that enhances their skills and technical understanding.
Joy in Learning and Experimentation
The user-friendly nature of the Franka robot significantly eases the programming process for beginners and encourages their experimentation. They can easily implement their own ideas, leading to creative projects like making waffles – a fun idea that garnered considerable attention throughout the departments. The introduction of robots ensures that young workers have no fear of contact, especially as the simple application of the robot and its safety settings gives them a sense of control.
Conclusion
Our Franka robot serves diverse business domains, cultivating roles and skills that is on high-demand these days. It equips the next generation of workers with advanced technological competencies, aligning them with forward-looking companies that prioritize innovative solutions. Through the integration of our robotic technology, Liebherr establishes a dynamic and future-oriented learning environment for its apprentices.
