In 2011, ABB’s Breakers and Switches factory in Vaasa, Finland aimed to significantly increase its productivity. As a key manufacturing site, representing 80% of all ABB products in its category, the management set a critical initiative to enhance factory output. This required a comprehensive automation plan that integrated all aspects of material handling, from inbound logistics to outbound delivery, to ensure smooth production and achieve ambitious throughput goals.
The factory is now nearly fully automated, integrating RFID with 20+ robots and automated forklift trucks. This comprehensive automation has led to a 60% increase in factory productivity and growing volumes. Beyond these gains, the reduction of manual tasks by RFID significantly improved employee satisfaction, reducing sick calls and allowing personnel to shift to higher-value roles.
ABB implemented an RFID-based solution as a key element in its factory-wide automation strategy, driving automated material flow throughout:
