At Roland Plastics, we’re always exploring new ways to improve efficiency, consistency and service for our customers. Our latest investment in robotic automation for our factory brings a new level of precision and productivity to our injection moulding operations.
By integrating robotic arms directly into our moulding stations, we’re streamlining the way plastic parts are handled straight from the machine – minimising human error, speeding up production, and ensuring greater consistency in every batch.
How It Works: Smart Automation on the Factory Floor
Each robotic arm is programmed to lift freshly moulded components directly from the moulding machine and gently place them onto a conveyor system, ready for cooling, packing or further assembly.
This seamless transfer reduces handling time and helps maintain part integrity – especially critical for delicate or high-precision products. It also frees up our talented team to focus on tasks where human skills really shine, such as inspection, assembly and quality assurance.
Benefits for Our Customers
Adding robotic automation isn’t just a win for our factory, it’s a win for our customers too.
Scalability: With faster cycle times and automated part handling, we’re able to take on larger volumes and tighter deadlines with confidence.
Faster Turnaround Times: Automation speeds up the production process, allowing us to complete runs more quickly without compromising on quality.
Greater Consistency: The robots perform repetitive tasks with pinpoint accuracy.
Cost Efficiency: Improved productivity helps reduce overheads, allowing us to remain competitive.
Investing in the Future of UK Manufacturing
As a family-owned British manufacturer, we’re proud to continue investing in our Suffolk-based operations with cutting-edge technology that keeps us at the forefront of UK injection moulding.
Robotic automation is just one step in a wider drive to enhance our capabilities, reduce waste, and deliver world-class service to every customer- from small startups to global brands from a broad range of industries.
