Lowercase's 5-Day Integration Project

Two friends without any manufacturing background wanted to bring back eyewear production to the United States. They started their brand, Lowercase NYC, and automated their processes right from the beginning. In only five days, they’ve programmed a Universal Robot and Robotiq’s 2-Finger Gripper to operate the CNC machine by itself, allowing the three employees to focus on the countless things they have to do in this start-up business.
