Keeping up with growing demand shouldn’t mean endless overtime, hiring more staff, or falling behind on orders. At L&W Fab, a leading UTV aftermarket parts producer, production was stretched thin—employees were working 60–65 hours a week, and the backlog topped 150 orders.
That changed when they partnered with Phillips Corporation’s OPTO Application Engineering Team. Instead of piecing together an automation system themselves, L&W Fab trusted Phillips to deliver a turnkey robotic machine tending solution powered by a Universal Robot.
Within 48 hours, the robot was installed, programmed, and running lights-out shifts overnight. The result? Orders were completed on time, overtime was eliminated, and the investment paid for itself in just six months.
With end-to-end support from Phillips—installation, integration, and in-house training—L&W Fab didn’t just add a robot. They gained a scalable production strategy that works day and night.
“We went from 150 orders behind to completely caught up—and no overtime for over 18 months. It changed how we run our shop.” — L&W Fab
