An innovative approach to cable harness production
ERKO collaborates with OMRON
The production of cable harnesses is a complex process that requires precision, high quality, and high efficiency - especially in demanding industries such as automotive, household appliances, aviation, railways, and the energy sector. Proper planning of technology and process organization is key to success.
ERKO, a Polish manufacturer specializing in the design and implementation of machines and automated cable processing stations, responds to these needs of its customers. Together with OMRON, a supplier of advanced industrial automation solutions, an innovative, fully automated station for the production of cable harnesses has been developed. It has been designed for ERKO's customers who are looking for modern, flexible, and efficient solutions for the production of wires and cable harnesses. This station responds to the challenges of modern production by combining precision, automation, and ease of adaptation to changing market requirements.
Key Benefits

At a glance
OMRON and ERKO have developed an innovative, fully automated workstation for cable harness production, addressing the growing demand for precision, flexibility, and efficiency. Featuring OMRON’s feeder, an advanced vision system, and an i4L SCARA robot, the solution automates every stage of production – from cutting and stripping wires to marking, positioning, and crimping terminals. Its intuitive software allows quick changeovers without retooling, enabling rapid adaptation to different wire types and terminal designs. This system reduces labor costs, minimizes downtime, and delivers consistent, high-quality results while meeting the highest standards of safety and industrial performance.
Automation that transforms production
The automated workstation for cable harness production marks a breakthrough in process optimization. Replacing the work of several operators, the machine significantly reduces costs, minimizes downtime, and speeds up order fulfilment – achieving a performance of up to 200 finished harnesses per hour.
