Robot assembly cell

The Robot Assembly Cell is a fully automated solution designed for the precise and rapid fastening of HDD/SSD trays in data storage servers.

Combining robotics, vision technology, and PLC-based process control, the system ensures repeatable accuracy, traceable production, and continuous operation in high-volume manufacturing environments.

Designed and built entirely in-house — from mechanical and electrical engineering to pneumatic systems and control software — this project showcases our capability to deliver end-to-end industrial automation systems tailored to exact customer needs.

Robotic Assembly Cell for Precision Fastening and Production Tracking

Key Functionalities & Benefits

  • Production tracking system – Captures cycle data, quality metrics, and component traceability for full process visibility.
  • User-friendly interface – Intuitive operator panel simplifies setup, monitoring, and maintenance tasks.
  • High precision & repeatability – Micron-level positioning accuracy improves assembly quality and reduces rework.
  • Compact footprint – Optimised cell layout fits seamlessly into existing production lines.
  • Reliable, low-maintenance operation – Designed for continuous 24/7 performance with minimal downtime.

Cross-Industry Opportunities


While developed for data storage server assembly, this automation cell concept can be adapted across several industrial sectors:

  • Electronics manufacturing – automated PCB or device sub-assembly
  • Automotive – component fastening, sensor installation, or small-part assembly
  • Medical device production – precision assembly under strict quality standards
  • Packaging & logistics – robotic sorting and fixture handling
  • Industrial equipment manufacturing – repeatable multi-step assembly processes

The modular design allows quick customisation for new product geometries, fastening tools, or quality inspection requirements.
