Do I Need Custom Automation?

Have you considered custom automation for your company, but just had too many doubts? A lot of business owners can relate to this. One question many people have is whether or not it is actually an option for their company. They believe that industrial automation is only accessible to big corporations, but that is not the truth.  

Custom automation can benefit a small or medium-sized company just as much as it can large ones. We know there are many different things to consider when you decide to start using robotics and automation. Two of the most common questions are whether or not it will actually benefit your company as well as which processes you can automate. 

The key takeaway is that making the shift could benefit your company in many ways. Let’s dig  a little deeper into just how custom industrial automation can make you more efficient. 

Benefits of Custom Automation 

There are many different reasons why custom industrial automation is optimal. Here are a few:

• It can greatly increase the efficiency of manufacturing. Robotic and automated machines have the ability to do tasks at a much faster rate than humans and also have the ability to multitask. Productivity can increase by up to 75 percent in your company by implementing custom automation.
• It can improve product quality. Automation has the benefit of eliminating human error. Automated machines also have the ability to perform inspections and testing of parts throughout the process.
• It can reduce costs. Custom industrial automation lowers costs by decreasing the need for direct labor. Reducing the handling done by employees can also decrease the likelihood of injuries on the job.

What Processes Can I Automate?

Now that you have seen how custom automation can benefit your company, you need to know what your options are. To decide what would be best for your specific needs, you must analyze your process of manufacturing and decide where in that process there is potential for automation. Your options include but are not limited to: assemblies, packaging and handling, quality assurance, monitoring and conveying parts. Look at these areas in your company and see what would best fit your needs.
