Key Insights from Task to Result

Task

When powder metallurgy specialist Gevorkyan began trading in 1996, customer demand and production throughput began to escalate quickly. The company soon realised that automation was the only way to support growth and ensure a competitive market offer.  

Solution

Gevorkyan initially installed FANUC ROBOCUT wire EDM machines in its toolroom, before adding FANUC ROBODRILL machining centres to another division. Today, this progressive company also has 30 FANUC robots across all areas of the production.  

Result

Leveraging the benefits of FANUC products and customer service, Gevorkyan has seen costs decrease thanks to significant increases in productivity (up 30% in one particular division). Notably, the use of FANUC factory automation solutions means the company is now able to produce around the clock, seven days a week.
