Conclusion
1. Consistency
2. Fast Cycle time
3. Parts Quality
4. Less Labor Cost ( No Break, Lunch, Restroom )
5. Safety Issue. ( OSHA )
6. 2nd Automation ( De-burring, Stacking, Packaging )
7. 24 Hour Operation
8. Tougher, Precision Jobs ( Insert Molding, Heavy )
Automation Step Recommendation
1. Simple Automation first with Picker, Hybrid and then Full Servo
Robot
2. Select good mechanically / electronically inclined employee and
train them for Future Automation.
3. Use full servo robot when it ready
