Technology company Husky has been awarded the 2024 Fedil Innovation Award in the Process category for its groundbreaking Plate Line Automation project. The Fedil Innovation Awards recognize projects that stand out for their innovative, original character and are relevant to the Luxembourg economy.

“We are honored to receive this year’s Fedil Innovation Award in the Process category,” said Laurent Huberty, Husky’s Manufacturing Technology Team Manager, Hot Runners. “This award is a testament to the innovation and dedication of our team to drive operational excellence. Our Plate Line Automation project is just the beginning, and we’re excited to expand the success of this cutting-edge solution to our global network of facilities.”

Husky’s Plate Line Automation project is an Industry 4.0 initiative that was designed to enhance operational efficiency, product quality, and employee productivity by integrating advanced robotics and cutting-edge software into the manufacturing process. The project incorporates three key technologies into a single automated system to achieve:

Streamlined material handling to increase productivity and improve safety using 5-tonne Automated Guided Vehicles to deliver pallets directly to milling centers.

Fully automated tool loading and unloading for deep-hole drilling, minimizing human intervention and increasing precision.

Higher accuracy and faster production times through the adoption of digital twin technology and tool analysis software enabling real-time simulation and quality control.

“This holistic approach demonstrates Husky’s commitment to leveraging the full potential of Industry 4.0, advancing automation to new heights,” said Rinas Mohammed, Husky’s Director of Global Operations, Industrialized Tooling, EMEA. “This project is a perfect example of how Husky is combining advanced robotics and digital technology to streamline processes. By automating critical tasks, Husky has reduced production times, enhanced precision, improved safety, and freed operators from repetitive, manual tasks.
