ROBOTS IN FURNITURE PRODUCTION - BLOG

Automation and robotization have been transforming the industry for years, and the furniture sector is no exception. Increasing demands for quality, efficiency, and safety are leading traditional production methods to give way to modern, automated technological lines. One example of such a solution is the Robotic Production Line "FRAME" (RPLF) – an innovative system dedicated to the mass production of wooden frames used in upholstered sofas.

Why?

The main goal of implementing the line is to increase production efficiency and repeatability, as well as to reduce labor costs. Automation not only speeds up the assembly process but also eliminates the risk of errors that can occur with manual work. As a result, each frame is characterized by the same high quality of workmanship, and employees are relieved of tedious and repetitive tasks.

How does the production line work?

1. Feeding components

The process begins with loading pre-prepared wooden components into special feeders. Each feeder is responsible for a different type of component and automatically delivers it to the robots in the correct order.

2. Robotic assembly

At the heart of the line are industrial robots equipped with precise grippers and assembly tools. They pick up components from the feeders, position them in assembly fixtures, and join them together using nail guns, staplers, or glue applicators. This creates a solid and stable frame structure.

3. Receiving the finished frame

After the assembly is completed, the robot places the finished product onto a transport system, which directs it to the next stage – a buffer warehouse, quality control, further assembly, or directly to the upholstery department.

4. Transport and integration

The roller or belt conveyor operates continuously, ensuring a smooth flow of components through the line. The whole process is controlled by a central PLC control system, which synchronizes the operation of the robots, feeders, and assembly tools. This system can be integrated with MES/ERP, allowing for full production tracking and performance reporting.

Key advantages of the solution

• Full automation – minimal human involvement in the assembly process.

• High efficiency – significant reduction in the production cycle time of a single frame.

• Repeatability and quality – each product meets the same standards.

• Work safety – employees are removed from the most arduous and dangerous tasks.

Summary

The Robotic Production Line "FRAME" is an example of how modern technologies can revolutionize processes in the furniture industry. Through automation, companies can increase their competitiveness, providing customers with high-quality products while simultaneously reducing costs and improving safety in the workplace.

Automation is no longer the future – it is the present that sets a new standard in furniture production.
