AVK International has been awarded the DIRA Automation Award 2024 for its fully automatic robot solution.
The award is a recognition of the company’s pioneering efforts in automation, robotic technology, and long-standing commitment to innovation. It marks an important milestone for AVK in its efforts to strengthen efficiency and sustainability in production.
The robot solution not only automates complex tasks like pressing, threading, and screwing but also enhances product quality and eliminates repetitive, heavy lifting – improving both efficiency and working environment.
AVK International got the very first robot 30 years ago. Recently, they have invested in a fully automatic robot solution that handles, installs, and controls 31 different varieties of valves for drinking water, weighing anywhere from 3.6 to 54 kilograms. The solution includes several robotic arms, advanced vision systems, and quality testing via pressure testing. In fact, there are as many as 16 processes gathered in one robot solution.
Previously, the production of valves for drinking water at AVK International was done manually. But with the new fully automated robot solution, that’s history. The solution has made it possible for AVK International to scale the production of the valves for drinking water up and down as needed.
