assembly solutions for

Consumer Goods

High output and versatility are critical for consumer goods manufacturing. Multi-purpose SYMPHONI™ machines maximize output and conserve space while maintaining high Total Effective Equipment Performance (TEEP). 

“System delivery confidence increases exponentially
when well-defined and proven technologies
are available off-the-shelf”

Agile Assembly Technology

To successfully reshore, Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) brands can adopt agile, high-speed automation technology. SYMPHONI is a general-purpose automation asset that can assemble multiple products on one machine, making tooling changeover and control configuration fast and straightforward.

Modular, Scalable, and Configurable

Leveraging digital assembly automation enables CPG brands to quickly adjust to shifting consumer demands, improve product quality, reduce product development time, and speed up time to market.

SYMPHONI is a modular platform that allows for scalability from prototype to production

The main challenges that CPG brands face:

  • Producing multiple products
  • Meeting just-in-time delivery (JIT) 
  • Reducing risk
  • Moving quickly from prototype to production 
  • Increasing machine utilization 
  • Reducing floor space

By adopting SYMPHONI, CPG brands can satisfy shifting consumer demand and assemble multiple products or variants on the same asset.

We innovate to solve challenges and support business goals

The Case for Pre-Engineered Automation Systems

Are Pre-Engineered Automation and High-Speed Assembly Mutually Exclusive?

Over approximately the last 30 years, the evolution of automated systems implemented to enable advanced manufacturing has led to the proliferation of the pre-engineered automated work cell/system. In turn, this has enabled significant growth in the global deployment of automated systems throughout all facets of global manufacturing, where virtually any redundant task is automated. In general, the buyer’s incentive to adopt a pre-engineered system is one of, or a combination of, the following:

  • The lowest cost of ownership in automation utilization per square meter
  • Shorter build and delivery lead times
  • Decreased technical risk as the system has a proven performance track record as evidenced by the install base
  • Capability of re-deploying the automation to produce multiple product types versus a dedicated part type
