Facteon case studies
Client: Facteon
Project: Case study
Designer: Folio
The classic case study format is challenge–solution–transformation. For advanced manufacturing engineers Facteon, we interviewed both the client and design engineer to gain a full insight into each of the three stages of this project story. Folio also designed the case study in PDF format to email to clients or attach to proposals.

Co-creation leads to custom design
The way forward lay in a co-creation process. As Palmer explains, “We were able to work closely with Facteon on the front end. At each meeting, they understood the problems, and at the next meeting they’d present a solution.” For instance, they found that modifying the existing conveyor, and changing the outfeed from a chain conveyor to a roller conveyer, delivered improvements.
And, says Lawrence Owen, Facteon’s Design Lead, “The solution had to be as simple and robust as possible, which included removing all sensors from the end effector so that there were no vulnerable components in harm’s way.”
