Résumé
The firm is seeking to improve the assembly process for skis and snowboards manufactured using compression lamination. Following their research and discussions with various automation solution providers, it is clear that assembly operations in factories still pose a significant challenge for automation or robotization, as this type of workstation is rarely, if ever, 100% automated or robotized.
