| INDUSTRIAL ROBOTIC / AUTOMATION SAVINGS & JUSTIFICATION |
| |
Direct Labor Reduction through Factory Automation |
- Savings of one or more operators per shift of operation
|
| |
Spindle Utilization Improvement |
- Manual machine tending yields 65% spindle utilization
- Robotic machine tending yields 90% spindle utilization
- Thus, 90/65 = 38% spindle utilization improvement *
-Less direct labor
-More machine capacity for more product and profit
-Less equipment required
|
| |
Quality Improvements |
- Extremely accurate and consistent robot repeatability from industrial robotics
- Vision capabilities possible with factory automation
- Elimination of human error
|
| |
Operator Safety & Ergonomic Improvements |
- Harsh or dangerous working environment issues are eliminated by factory automation
- Repetitive motion issues eliminated
|
| |
Scrap Reduction |
- Industrial robots are more consistent and accurate (no fatigue)
- Vision can verify features
- Less damage by part handling
|
| |
Material Savings |
- More consistent deposition (welding, dispensing, etc.) with factory automation
|
| |
Promotional Tool |
- Customer’s perception of supplier with factory automation can result in more business
