Heavy-duty operation carried out manually are one of the most frequent causes of occupational accidents and injuries for operators.

Robotic applications play an important role in the reduction of this problem, resulting ideal for all handling and pick&place situations.

Gaiotto and SACMI have introduced robotic automation in multiple phases of sanitary production process such as Robot Glaze, Robot Casting or the recent Robot Load technology, specifically designed for loading/unloading heavy and delicate workpieces to/from kiln cars.

The working conditions of personnel operating in the sanitaryware industry is a question gaining more and more importance. In this light, Gaiotto Automation believes that finding the best solutions to protect operator health and safety in the workplace is the right way to operate in a socially responsible manner.

With the European legal decree 2017/2398/CE, breathable crystalline silica dust, and all work processes involving exposure to respirable crystalline silica dust generated by a work process, have been included in the list of Processes and Agents carrying a risk of carcinogenic exposure.

To meet the indications in the new standards regarding health & safety in the workplace, Gaiotto Automatin has introduced its new RobotClean technology and a complete set of solutions for filtration and elimination of dust particles.

Automation means repeatibility of processes and of the result on the final piece. In this way it is possible to significantly reduce non-conforming pieces and, above all, the use of raw materials for their production.
Automation is also closely linked to production tracking, keeping record information about every single workpiece processed and using them to improve general efficiency and final quality of the products.
