Pemamek and Fastems to deliver autonomous welding FMS

Pemamek and Fastems to deliver autonomous welding FMSPemamek and Fastems, two global companies in manufacturing technology and automation, have signed a contract to develop a flexible manufacturing system (FMS) for the Finnish EFM Group Oy. The system, which will combine production control and intelligence provided by Fastems’ automation with the welding cells by Pemamek, will provide ‘the 24/7 welding of mixed parts with minimal human intervention’. The system, which will be managed by Fastems’ Manufacturing Management Software (MMS), consists of the storage and automation of raw materials, jigs and ready parts, and cells for tack welding and robotic welding.

Petri Holopainen, EFM Group’s CEO, said: “Some years ago, EFM was assessing a new welding solution in conjunction with Pemamek. We challenged them with an idea: what if the starting point for the welding automation solution was to combine the core competencies of Fastems and Pemamek? For many years, EFM has had good experience with Fastems’ FMS and MMS systems for machining. Discussions between EFM, Pemamek, and Fastems started at the Subcontracting 2022 fair. Now we are looking forward to seeing this new welding automation system in action in our new Ylämylly factory.”

Mikko Nyman, Fastems’ CEO, said: “Our cooperation with Pemamek has worked seamlessly and we are proud of the value we can provide to the EFM Group. Fastems is excited to build and expand our expertise in mixed manufacturing automation beyond the machining domain. This partnership is a step towards the future of manufacturing.”

Jaakko Heikonen, Pemamek’s vice chairman, added: “By combining Pemamek’s advanced welding solutions with Fastems’ intelligent production control, we can provide EFM with an advanced solution that increases production flexibility and efficiency. In the manufacturing industry, continuous improvement in automation is a critical factor in improving competitiveness and productivity. This project is an excellent example of how the combination of robotics, intelligent production control, and welding technology can take automation to a new level.”
