Robot Automation Within Factories

Robot Automation is slowly finding its way into many different areas of manufacturing, they can now efficiently perform tasks such as Welding, handling Raw materials, Shipping, Assembly and Packing.   A larger number of manufacturers are now understanding the benefits of Automation within their Factories for a number of applications.

 

Many Manufacturers however are still looking for answers to their many questions involving Robot Automation.  The first question always asked is concerning price and a big concern business owners have is regarding expense.  Another regular concern is deciding whether a  business is too small to implement Robots at all.  Lastly is Robot automation too complex is another regularly asked question.

 

The cost of Robots have decreased dramatically over the last few years and they are also incredibly useful in both high and low production areas.  They are also much more easier to program and set up for new tasks which enables staff to be trained so they can operate the Robots safely. Staff no longer have to learn complex programming languages and modern Robots can be taught in two ways, offline programming lets a user model a complete cell or work area. The second way Robots are taught is with a teach pendant. An engineer with simply guide the Robot through a sequence of steps. The Robot will run through the program slowly checking for collisions with objects or humans.  The Robot is then able to run at full speed.

 

There is much more information now available for manufacturers to get the information they need to make the important decisions on whether Robot Automation is right for their business.  Whatever industry your business is in or the size of your business, you can achieve significant, tangible benefits with Robot Process Automation RPA.
