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
