In 2021, the benefits of automation in manufacturing are enormous and can make the difference between your company and your competitors. When designed and implemented correctly, automation technology can improve your price competitiveness, improve quality, consistency, and increase production capacity by…
REDUCED OVERHEAD
Machine automation can reduce the reliance of manufacturers on unskilled labor and/or greatly improve the production capacity of those laborers. Machines can perform the function of several humans, for longer periods of time, and at a much higher quality. By implementing automated machine systems, manufacturers can vastly improve cycle times and decrease their cost per unit.
IMPROVE PRODUCTION SPEED
Humans have a cap on the speed, length of time, and accuracy with which they can perform a function. But with machine automation, manufacturers can equip their manufacturing teams with machines and processes that will allow for scalable solutions that improve production speed and capacity.
MICRO PRECISION
Humans are, well humans. They make mistakes. Automated Machines can be designed for micro precision, vastly improving accuracy. And although machines can also make mistakes, the failure rate of automated machines can be quantified and managed to extremely low percentages. Those incredibly low failure rates mean less wasted material, fewer defective parts/assemblies, and better quality assurance.
TRACKABLE QUALITY CONTROL
Every move a machine makes can be tracked. That means every defective manufactured part/assembly can be traced back to a specific station/operation and/or a specific process. Thanks to this tracking, automated machines can be adjusted and improved upon for extremely high-quality assurance.
CUT LIABILITY
Manufacturing automation can also reduce the exposure of workers to dangerous tasks. Replacing high-risk cells with automated machinery can greatly reduce liability and promote a safer environment for employees.
REDUCE TURNOVER
Retraining workers can be time-consuming and slow down production. With machine automation, manufacturers do not have to worry about employee turnover or retraining new hires. This means employees can stay focused on improving production and create a stable environment that can be continually improved upon.
DECREASE STRAIN ON HR
Automation doesn’t just improve the efficiency of the production floor. Automation can also reduce strain in the front office by decreasing the workload on the Human Resources department. This can allow HR the time and bandwidth to continually improve the environment for your existing employees.
