Profile

RoboTape™ is an automated taping system that offers benefits to assemblies across various industries (automotive interiors/exteriors, HVAC, EV battery components, glass, architectural, industrial, medical, consumer goods and manufacturers of all kinds), with the aim of streamlining production and enhancing overall throughput.

Since 1989, Innovative Automation Inc. has been a trusted provider of custom assembly automation systems for the automotive, medical device, pharmaceutical and consumer goods sectors. In 2019, it embarked on an R&D initiative to create its first patented standard product, RoboTape™. This groundbreaking technology enables robotic application of adhesive-lined attachment tapes, foam tapes, and felt.

Product/Service Information

The RoboTape™ System is an automatic tape system designed to handle repetitive and demanding tape applications. Its proprietary remote feeding system uses bulk spools of material positioned outside of the safe zone. This allows for on-the-fly spool changes and a compact application head design for optimizing your automation cell. Its capability to handle diverse materials like foam, double-sided tape, felt tape, adhesive films, and attachment tapes outpaces competitors in the market. Repurposing manual processes, RoboTape™ boasts a flexible design compatible with both small and large industrial robots or cobots from various OEMs, meeting diverse customer needs.

Differentiation Factor(s)

In existing markets, its precision-driven automated taping system redefines manufacturing standards by reducing labor costs, increasing productivity, and flexible handling for complex part geometries. This allows customers to achieve high-quality output with precise foam and tape tolerances, while also repurposing employees for value-added tasks. Clients benefit from enhanced cost-effectiveness as higher volume projects significantly lower manufacturing costs. Advanced technology ensures lightning-fast, precise dispensing, meeting the efficiency and precision needs of markets like Korea, Japan, and Asia. RoboTape™ seamlessly integrates into diverse manufacturing setups, supported by exceptional assistance for clients to optimize system benefits.

To achieve global reach, RoboTape™ utilizes a network of authorized resellers or integration partners, including SUN-TEC CO., LTD in Japan, Expert Technologies Group in England, as well as four other international pending partner agreements. RoboTape’s trusted partnership with SUN-TEC CO., LTD has brought the company exceptional experience within the Japanese market, specifically in automotive and electric vehicles.
Another case that exemplifies the success of RoboTape™ is its collaboration with 3M™, which significantly enhanced its market presence and product offerings both domestically and internationally.

Objectives

During the trade mission to InterBattery Korea, RoboTape™ aims to solidify its commitment to the Korean market by establishing robust local partnerships encompassing sales, support, and service. RoboTape™ is seeking a partner with strong robotic integration capabilities, with existing relationships within the automotive industry. The ideal company size would be no fewer than 25 employees and have a strong mandate to aggressively grow the business through partnerships and collaboration.
