Evidence notes
- The system automated loading and unloading on an existing Haas lathe without requiring a facility expansion.
- WTTI replaced a four-hour runtime ceiling with continuous production that no longer required an operator stationed at the machine.
- The deployment increased uptime and output consistency while reducing bottlenecks, lead times and dependence on temporary labour.
