Dalmec’s solution for handling multiple seat variants ensured effective space utilisation

By July 5, 2021 7:30 pm IST

The case study highlights how Dalmec offered an indigenous solution to a leading automobile manufacturer to handle different seat variants and enabled the operator to work ergonomically in a compact work environment.

A leading luxury car manufacturer in India had an ambitious plan to expand its customer base and help the company to continue working on its vision of powering progress. To accomplish their goals, the company was planning to launch a new model in the Indian market. The launch of the new model required expansion in existing capacity.

The company was looking for-a proven material handling solution provider, to handle captain and complete type seats. While working closely with various clients for the last 60 years and more, we have gained knowledge necessary to design the right solutions – for every environment and applications. Our long-standing partnership with the client and a well-established track record, made us manufacturers’ obvious choice. Equipped with decades of experience in manufacturing manipulators for the auto and ancillary industry, we took this challenge and collaborated with the client to work on various aspects of the applications.

Project requirements and challenges

The augmentation of the existing facility resulted in limited space availability. In addition, during our site visit, we also observed that the existing cranes and plant utilities fully occupied the overhead rail arrangement. The captain and complete seats weighed approx. 35 and 60 kgs. respectively. While the captain seat mounting was a simple pick and place operation, the complete/ bench seat assembling required lifting and rotation movements.page 47 [1]

Dalmec’s solution:

After taking all the inputs from our client, the Dalmec team went to the drawing-room to custom build the manipulator suitable to work in compact space and, if possible, design a single solution to handle all the variants.
