References & Use Cases
Current customer references and use cases in progress — from sheet metal manufacturing to packaging and CNC machine tending.
Schweikert GmbH from Lehrensteinsfeld — a systems supplier for tool making, press shop, assembly manufacturing and heat treatment — is embracing humanoid robotics in production and has invested in Lunes Robotics. Together, a bin picking use case was implemented: the humanoid robot removes parts from KLT containers and hands them off to the downstream station.

Use Case in Progress — Schweikert GmbH
Special challenge: unsorted parts in KLT containers. The humanoid robot takes on the following tasks in particular:
Removal and feeding of components to machines
- Removal of workpieces from bulk containers (bin picking)
- Removal of workpieces from machines or staging areas
- Alignment and positioning of workpieces for further processing
- Ensuring the correct position and orientation of workpieces
Placement & feeding
- Placement of workpieces into defined containers, trays or storage positions
- Structured sorting and storage according to specification
- Positioning and insertion of workpieces into machines or fixtures
- Preparation of workpieces for downstream processing
Transport & material flow
- Transport of workpieces between machines, stations and buffer areas
- Movement of workpieces and containers within the shop floor
Structured placement and storage of workpieces
- Placement of workpieces into defined containers, trays or storage positions
- Structured sorting and storage according to specification
- Ensuring the correct position and orientation of workpieces
Rune Slembrouck, CEO of Mr. Druck, is not only an entrepreneur with a genuine vision for the future — he's also someone who, after an unexpected staff shortage on the night shift, briefly considered putting his loyal four-legged friend on the schedule.
But seriously: Rune is exactly the kind of entrepreneur who doesn't wait for the future to arrive. He wants to be among the first to show — together with us — that humanoid robots can be real colleagues. Loyal as a dog, working side by side with people, covering shifts, and reliably supporting processes day in and day out.
That is exactly what we are now implementing together: a humanoid robot running our software takes over the entire packaging process — from cartons to the roller conveyor. Reliable, precise, and night after night.

Use Case in Progress — Packaging
Cardboard Folding
Special challenge: handling paper
The use case in progress covers the development, integration and validation of a humanoid robot system for automated operation of a cardboard packaging line under real production conditions.
- Picking up and positioning the blanks — receiving the die-cut cardboard and aligning it for the packaging process
- Folding the cardboard — automatically erecting and folding the flat blanks into the packaging shape
- Loading products — precise placement of products in the correct position and orientation
- Closing the cartons — bringing together and closing the lids and flaps
- Strapping — securing the package for transport safety and stability
- Placement on the roller conveyor — handover of the finished cartons
Special challenge: machine availability around the clock
The robot takes over loading and unloading of CNC mills: raw and finished parts are reliably fed in and removed — including night and weekend shifts.
