Automation in Focus: The Visumatic Screw Kitting Solution

How automation saved the license plate kit.

Let’s be honest: repetitive tasks are the natural enemy of focus. For one license plate holder manufacturer, a “simple” bagging process was becoming a quality control nightmare.

The Stakes: No Room for Error

Each hardware kit required exactly four screws of two different types. If a customer received a kit with missing hardware, the result wasn’t just a headache–it was a loose plate that could rattle and damage a vehicle’s paint. To protect their reputation and the customer’s joy, they needed a way to eliminate “mind wander” from the assembly line.

The Solution: The “Fool-Proof” Screw Presenter

Partnering with Visumatic, the manufacturer swapped manual counting for a streamlined, programmable screw presenter system.

• Dual-Feeder Logic: Two feeders (one for each screw type) integrated into a single control platform.
• Ergonomic Design: A single dispensing point allowed the operator to hold the bag and receive the exact count instantly.
• Role Shift: By offloading the tedious sorting and counting to the machine, the operator can focus entirely on bag presentation and sealing.

The Win-Win

The results were immediate. The manufacturer achieved perfect counts every time while simultaneously lowering batch cycle times. By automating the “boring” part, they increased production capacity without needing to hire additional labor.

When automation takes the counting out of the operator’s hands, you don’t just improve quality—you accelerate growth. Check out the full case study for a deep dive.
