The 60th anniversary is symbolized by a diamond. As FPE Automation celebrates its 60th year in 2023, it is particularly fitting that the company would receive the diamond award from Piab this year.
This is Piab's top award. FPE Automation is very proud to have received it an unprecedented 4 times. Piab has stated that partners receiving this award are in an elite category.
Piab has been a key partner for FPE Automation for several decades. They are a global manufacturer of vacuum products and cups based in Sweden. Here in the Midwest, FPE Automation has worked with manufacturers that have relied on Piab quality for years, in situations where a precisely-engineered vacuum grip was vital.
Many companies would have been content to ride on that considerable success. Not Piab. They had a vision. For several years, in addition to expanding their vacuum lines and acquiring relevant companion companies, Piab has been ahead of the curve in adapting to a shift in automation toward an increase in robotics. As a result, they have developed several UR+ certified robotic end-of-arm-tooling (EOAT) solutions that are widely recognized to be some of industry's best and most innovative.
As Piab innovated and grew, FPE Automation did so as well. As an expert in both collaborative and high-speed industrial robotics, FPE Automation would need the right EOAT to do the job. As FPE Automation's team worked on robotic applications, Piab continued to deliver innovative solutions to our engineers.
This, along with FPE Automation's continued success in the growing robotics sector, enabled them to partner with an entirely new group of manufacturers; companies moving in the direction of more automation. The EOAT chosen is always crucial to the success of any robotic cell, and often Piab has a solution that can do the job accurately and consistently. They have solutions, like the piSOFTGRIP® vacuum-driven soft gripper pictured here, that can handle the trickiest of applications.
Combine all of that with the high quality of Piab products, plus excellent customer service and support, and you have the ideal recipe for customer satisfaction.
Still, success isn't created in a vacuum (pun intended). Products are only great if they make a difference. Our engineers helped to put the right Piab product together with the right robot in the right environment to make optimal custom solutions that are game-changers for our customers. FPE Automation's engineers believe in Piab, and possess the technical skills to make their products work for our customers.
This was entirely a team effort.
We'd like to extend our sincere appreciation to the talented and dedicated FPE Automation staff, Piab, and of course, our customers. Without all of you, this continued success would not be possible.
