Unfortunately, humans have their limitations and eventual errors are inevitable.
Why are robots the answer? Robots have been known to greatly improve production cycle speeds with unmatched consistency. The more you can produce, the higher demand you can meet, increasing your revenue potential.
Material Waste
Consistent repeatability allows manufacturers to reduce overall waste. Less errors not only saves time, but also reduces the amount of material required to produce the product.
Why are robots the answer?Robots deliver precise work with a high level of accuracy. Examples would include using less wire for welding, less amount of paint, and cutting closer to the edge, delivering on a higher quality product - and saving you money.
Poor Workplace Safety
Many dangerous work environments, like extreme temperatures or exposure to chemicals, can have damaging side effects on a human body.
Why are robots the answer? Using robots not only reduces harmful exposure to workers, but also improves predictability within your facilities. Robots have the ability to work at constant speeds with no breaks, days off, or holiday time - allowing your most valued employees to excel in other tasks within your facility.
Missing Machine Data
Nowadays, the need for real time data to make quicker decisions and flexible manufacturing to quickly perform change-overs are critical to meet customer demands.
Why are robots the answer? Using robotics integrated into smart machines provides business leaders with a better view of their plants to meet demands, while also allowing them to identify opportunities for growth and improvements.
Integrating smart manufacturing with industrial robotics creates a powerful duo that streamlines production and minimizes downtime. Smart factory features like real-time data collection and analytics can predict maintenance needs for robots before they even break down, allowing you to perform proactive repairs. Robots guided by machine learning can even adapt to production changes and optimize processes to eliminate inefficiencies and keep your flow running smoothly.
This seamless connection between intelligent systems and powerful robots paves the way for a more efficient and reliable production environment.
