FANUC Robots Raise Standards in the Cosmetics Industry

FANUC, a pioneer in developing CNC controllers, robots and machines in the automation industry, is supporting the growth of the cosmetics market, which has reached approximately USD 750 billion worldwide, with its innovative robot range. Robots that provide the most suitable sterile conditions for the production and shipment of beauty and skincare products while offering flexible conditions together with energy savings enable uninterrupted operation at every stage. 

In today's world, where interest in natural products is increasing day by day, beauty and skincare products account for the largest share of the cosmetics market, which has reached USD 750 billion. In the face of high market demand, industrial robots play a leading role in increasing production and quality. FANUC, a Japan-based manufacturer of CNC, robots and machines, meets the needs of the cosmetics market with its unrivaled technology robots while also improving production conditions.

Cosmetics production becomes more flexible with integrated camera solutions for robots

Teoman Alper Yiğit, General Director of FANUC Turkey, emphasizing that industrial robots create a clean working environment in cosmetics production, which requires a sterile working environment, due to their protection classes, said: "The cosmetics sector worldwide reaches approximately USD 750 billion, while in Turkey it stands at approximately USD 15 billion. In Turkey, personal care products constitute 80% of the market, while makeup products, perfumes and other cosmetic products make up 20%. In such an environment, the presence of industrial robots in the production phase is of critical importance. This advantage in production translates back to us as significant energy savings. In addition, camera solutions integrated and working with robots provide flexible production conditions. This technological infrastructure at every stage of production offers automation solutions that communicate with each other, maintain uninterrupted communication and operate most efficiently," he said.

Uninterrupted operation opportunity in production with remote access advantage

Yiğit, explaining how industrial robots have introduced the cosmetics sector to energy savings and 100% efficiency, shared example applications as follows: "In the factory of one of our customers operating in the cosmetics sector, our systems work in a full automation concept with our robots. Thanks to our systems that enable quick communication of products with each other, we provide ease of use during commissioning and during production. We enable the product diversity needed in production and allow them to communicate with each other without requiring different equipment on a common platform. We also provide support services. Thanks to Industry 4.0, our customer, who can access the entire process remotely, is given the opportunity for uninterrupted operation on production lines. Due to the diversity of software variations, we also provide flexibility at every step of production."

Industrial robots are the key to efficiency in production

Yiğit, making an assessment regarding current robotization investments in the cosmetics sector, said: "As in many other sectors, the use of collaborative robots together with industrial robots is increasing in the cosmetics industry. This provides precise and flexible production capability, putting manufacturing companies one step ahead in the new world order. In addition to our wide robot options and applications, our ROBOSHOT, a 100% electric injection molding machine, demonstrates its difference in cosmetic products. Production lines that comply with Industry 4.0 with robots that enable standard production without quality deterioration, one of the biggest problems in production, stand out with advantages such as low procurement, installation and operating costs. Industrial robots have become the key to production efficiency in many different applications such as pick and place and machine loading and unloading, thanks to accuracy, precision, easy installation and fast integration," he said.
