The watchmaking sector is made up of very different players who operate on different market targets. In the watchmaking sector, automatic sorting is mainly aimed at manufacturers of large luxury series or otherwise. Indeed, the automation of assemblies is one of the criteria in terms of control needs, but not just that. Watchmaking parts are extremely small and very precise, which makes manual control complicated, especially when a large number of parts need to be checked. That is why we offer robotic solutions adapted to this type of part sorting.
