Quicktron X Stellantis
Stellantis (formerly known as PSA Groupe), a leading automotive behemoth, faced significant challenges in its manufacturing operations, including the need for precision and accuracy with productivity in its complex material handling scenarios. To address these issues and enhance productivity, Stellantis turned to Quicktron’s AI-powered robotic systems.
Challenges and Objectives
Stellantis' Sochaux car assembly plant is a massive facility with 15,000 square meters of space. The plant has hundreds of handover points, 7 kitting lines, and an astounding 20,000 transportation tasks daily. This complex environment presented a number of challenges for Stellantis, including the intricacies of material handling, high-volume, and multiple low-volume transportation tasks, and seamless human-robot coordination. They needed a solution that could ensure the safe and efficient movement of materials.
