Unia Group is a company with a 140-year tradition, specializing in the production of agricultural machinery used for sowing, fertilizing, transport, and storage, among other applications. Since its establishment, the company has been committed to the development of the industry by implementing the latest technologies in the agricultural machines and equipment it produces.

Its four production plants, located in Grudziądz, Słupsk, Brzeg, and Kąty Wrocławskie, manufacture around 25 000 machines annually, with the involvement of nearly 1,000 employees.

The machines offered to farmers by Unia Group are manufactured in Poland. Domestic customers are reached through cooperation with a network of 40 distributors, while thanks to partners around the world, the machines are available in 60 countries on all continents. The equipment, equipped with the latest technological solutions, is developed based on farmers’ feedback and market analyses.

As part of the welding shop modernization project, four advanced robotic welding stations were implemented. Each station is equipped with a welding robot moving along a 10-meter track and two positioners with a maximum load capacity of 2 tons each. To meet Unia’s production challenges, over 50 specialized welding applications were developed, along with dedicated tooling for tack welding and robotic welding processes. An important factor in improving welding quality is the use of real-time path correction systems, which ensure process repeatability. These systems enable precise arc welding, even under variable production conditions.

The implementation of modern production technologies and the robotization of welding processes has significantly improved product quality, enabled process optimization, reduced the number of corrections, and shortened order fulfillment times. A key element of this development was the expansion of the machine park, which resulted in a clear increase in the efficiency and productivity of production lines.

Robotic workstations are seen within the industry as a source of competitive advantage, as they allow for better control over the so-called technical cost of production. This translates into the ability to manufacture high-quality products faster and at lower costs. This is particularly important for companies operating in global markets and competing with the largest players worldwide.

The implementation of robots at Unia Group has also created opportunities for employees to develop new skills. Today, operators oversee the process and monitor its outcomes, while engineers design new welding programs and tooling. Gaining these new competencies is an investment not only in the employees’ own futures but also in the future of the company. The ability to program robots, combined with the modular structure of the workstations, allows for quick retooling and the launch of new products, enabling continuous advancement of welding automation. Thanks to their acquired skills, Unia Group employees carry out these changes independently, without the need to involve external experts.
