Built for Malaysian lines

High mix, short runs, tasks that change every week: the work robots were always too hard to reprogram for. These are the jobs Kata plans today, each shown in its own digital twin.

The arm stacking boxes on pallet A, two layers high

Palletising

Mixed pallets from a sentence. Change the pattern, the layer count or the pallet in your own words; Kata checks reach and stability before the first box moves.

Columns, interlocks and towers
Fragile boxes slowed automatically
The arm reaching into the CNC machine

Machine tending

Load the CNC, wait for the cycle, clear the part, repeat. Kata knows the door, the chuck and the parts table, and won't reach in while the spindle runs.

CNC, moulding and presses
Waits on the machine's own cycle
The arm over the conveyor, under the infeed camera

Sorting and inspection

For E&E and appliance lines: the infeed camera flags colours and damaged boxes before the arm reaches them, and rejects go to the bin.

Tray loading and test tending
Damaged parts to the reject bin
The arm picking a billet from the parts table

Small batches and labs

A new task before lunch. When a job runs for a day instead of a year, describing it beats programming it.

Pick and place between fixtures
Saved programs to rerun later

Robots got cheaper. Programming them didn't.
