Does adopting automated production tools improve efficiency for small and medium-sized manufacturing companies?
At the Fakuma 2026 trade fair, Nonnenmann demonstrated an automated system that uses three robots to handle the sorting, inspection, and assembly of injection-moulded parts. The exhibit included the production of a drying stand called the Dry Station Krake.
Why it matters
This demonstration highlights how robotics and automation systems can be integrated for small and medium-sized processors to streamline production workflows. The project highlights a rapid development cycle, moving from initial concept to a finished, multi-part assembly in 12 weeks.
The demonstration cell integrates three robots alongside specialized automation systems to manage the lifecycle of the two-part Dry Station Krake. This setup is managed through an automation configurator that allows users to plan and refine the cell architecture.
The players
Nonnenmann
An automation and manufacturing services provider specializing in six-axis robotics, CE conformity, and metal 3D printing.
The details
The cell functions by coordinating three separate robotic units to handle distinct tasks: sorting, inspection, and assembly of injection-moulded components. By utilizing integrated camera technology and six-axis robots—robotic arms with six degrees of freedom that mimic human arm movement—the system achieves precise component assembly. Nonnenmann also provides CE conformity assessment to ensure that the integrated automation hardware meets required European health, safety, and environmental standards.

The Tech Race
Nonnenmann's exhibit at Fakuma 2026 aligns with the industry-wide shift toward modular, software-configured automation for mid-sized manufacturing firms. This approach competes with traditional, bespoke assembly-line design by prioritizing rapid iteration and off-the-shelf integration.
The automation configurator tools demonstrated at Fakuma 2026 are designed to assist small and medium-sized processors in planning their production cells. These services, including metal 3D printing and robotic integration, are currently available to manufacturers seeking to optimize their assembly workflows.
The takeaway
Nonnenmann has validated a 12-week development cycle for complex, multi-part automated assembly. Industry professionals should monitor the company's future product announcements and automation software updates, which serve as a benchmark for rapid industrial system deployment.
