| Sunshine Automation & Tooling can help your company smoothly transition into robotics. |
With employers having difficulty these days in locating people to work, companies are looking for alternatives to fill the gap.
Here are some ways to ensure a successful move towards robotic automation:
- Look for automation opportunities within your facility. These could be centered around quality of production issues, time savings of travel times within the facility by centralizing operations around robotics as well as the issue with just finding qualified workers.
- Investments in robotic automation should be targeted toward long-term returns. The robot itself is about 1/4 to 1/3 the cost of the completed system. Further, a lot of companies continue to focus on Return on Investment (ROI) when they might be better served by doing the Return on Assets (ROA) analysis. Robotics normally last 20 years & as such, payback considerable more over the life of the system or ROA versus short term payback based on people/equipment replacement or ROI.
- Use a local robotics integrator, like Sunshine Automation & Tooling, to help decide what might be the correct model application for your project. The robot marketplace improves all the time, & your local integrator keeps up with the latest options & advantages. Don't be pigeon-holed into a short list of capabilities. There are new solutions available all the time.
- Train & educate your employees about robotic automation. A lot of people have obsolete fears about safety issues & possible job loss when companies introduce or expand robotic automation. Safety processes & systems have greatly improved to protect the employee from any danger around a robotic cell & studies show that when robotic automation is implemented, more people get hired at higher wages. Use the 3D Rule: If it is dirty, dangerous or dull, the possibilities of successful robotic automation are very high.
