5 Ways 3D robot vision is transforming automotive manufacturing

With 3D vision, robots can find and handle parts in any orientation. This boosts flexibility in applications like bin picking, depalletizing, and large-part handling while reducing downtime and manual intervention.

By eliminating expensive and inflexible fixtures, reducing downtime and low-value production tasks, 3D vision lowers production costs. Manufacturers typically achieve return on investment within 1,5 to 2 years.

3D vision ensures accuracy, typically within 0.5 mm, supporting critical processes such as sealing, assembly, polishing, and deburring. The result is consistent product quality, fewer errors, and reduced rework.

Robots equipped with 3D vision can take over heavy, repetitive tasks such as pallet unloading or polishing.

This improves workplace safety and allows employees to focus on higher-value activities.

A 3D vision solution like Pickit 3D integrates easily with over 20 robot brands.

Its intuitive interface allows deployment in days, while its open platform enables quick scaling across production lines.
