FFT Production Systems Showroom

Future-proof and intelligent manufacturing – this or a similar slogan sums up FFT Production Systems & Co. KG in a nutshell. Digital services, next-generation production solutions and innovative manufacturing and process technology are the core competencies for which FFT is known around the world. The new interactive showroom at FFT’s headquarters in Fulda, Germany, provides visitors with a hands-on experience.

Getting to grips with robots and augmented reality

The show area, which opened its doors in July 2022, is located in the 15,000 square metre production hall and consists of several rooms. The first highlight is a demonstration system consisting of several robots in a fully automated assembly line that allows visitors to see their own products and FFT’s turnkey service live and in action. An automated guided transport system moves components from one station to the next, all the while keeping an eye on the groups of visitors along the way, while a robot marks components with permanent ink dots, which are then removed and polished off at another station – intelligently and without any fixed movements programmed into the system. Next to this is a VR/AR room showcasing FFT’s digital services, such as virtual planning and implementation of complex assembly lines and ‘digital shadows’ of real production facilities. At the rear is a spacious conference room.
