…for an order are present and ready for finishing, plastic totes are automatically conveyed from the mini-load to a robotic piece picking station where two robotic arms pick and place the right frames and lenses for a customer order onto a plastic tray that is then sent to a finishing station. It is a complex process that requires precise timing, but the software behind the solution makes it all appear deceptively simple. The technology allows VSP to start work on a pair of glasses as much as 24 hours earlier than in the past, shaving at least one day, or…

…for that order ride through the processes in a plastic work tray. The system generates a bar code label that is applied to the envelope that is used to store the lenses through various production processes and in the mini-load AS/RS. The bar code label will be read by the various machines used in production. The envelope is put into the work tray along with the two pucks that will be ground into lenses. Step 2: The work tray is routed to a grinding and polishing workstation and then to tinting (not shown). After that, the lenses are placed into…

…into automotive industry, electrical & electronics, chemical, rubber & plastics, machinery, metals industry, food & beverages, precision & optics, etc. Among these, automotive industry segment dominated the market in 2012 at $7.37 billion. However, the segment is expected to witness low growth owing to slow down in the automotive industry. The food and beverages segment is expected to witness highest growth rate of 6.9% over the forecast period owing to rising food and beverages industry. Moreover, the rising need and customized solutions to make the process faster especially in unexplored regions such as Brazil, Argentina, and South Africa is expected…
