Medmix Switzerland faced challenges in optimising production for 2-component systems used in the dental industry. Previous methods relied on manual assembly machines and intermediate storage. To enhance efficiency and product quality, Medmix partnered with Krehl&Partner and Robomotion to employ ABB robots.

Quality, precision and time play the most important roles in the manufacture of dental products. The focus is always on patient safety and customer satisfaction. If one of these factors is not right, a product can quickly become unprofitable. Instead of buffering production delays with intermediate storage, the Swiss 1K and 2K application systems manufacturer Medmix has taken a different, much more efficient approach and uses robots from ABB for this purpose.

Medmix Switzerland is part of the Medmix Group. The company is a leading manufacturer of application systems for mixing, dosing and applying liquids in the healthcare, industrial and consumer goods segments. The company has a total of around 2,600 employees and operates at 19 locations worldwide. The head office is located in Baar, Switzerland.
