How Can Assembly Robots Help Your Productivity

By Jeff Blake

It was pretty obvious that my manufacturing plant could use an interior face-lift. The majority of our equipment was well over twenty years old and it showed. We had many machines that were duct-taped and twisty-tied together and some that were completely broken down sitting there useless taking up space. I knew that I needed to make some changes so I had been saving up money for awhile to make some major changes.

I had been doing some research on robot automation and I knew that my business could benefit from the purchase of assembly robots. My assembling equipment had been non-functioning for several years and I had been using manual labor in my assembly line. While my workers tried their best to keep up with the number of orders for parts that we had coming through, assembly was a tedious and time consuming task.

Assembly robots could provide me with a faster and more efficient solution to all of my assembly needs. I came across several models that were available that could perform all of the functions that I needed in my assembly line. These models were very compact in design so they could easily replace the broken down unit that had been taking up a large amount of space in my plant.

I had also intended on buying a few material handling robots in order to assist in the production of my products. My research indicated that material handling robots would be the perfect solution for my dispensing and packaging needs. My current dispensing equipment was slow and unreliable and had been a source of discontent with my employees for quite some time.

I found that material handling robots were ideal for packaging my product. My original intention in updating my entire production line was so that I could try to increase my sales and production so I was anticipating that I would need to augment my packaging process in order to keep up with the increased volume of orders that I was hoping for.

After discussing my automation needs with a robot manufacturer I was convinced that purchasing new equipment could drastically improve my production.

Modern technology had drastically improved production equipment and the new models boasted superior speed and accuracy. By purchasing automated material handling and assembly robots I would save money and increase my output.

With the future of my company in mind, I purchased several models to completely update my entire production line. I was excited about the automation of my production line and the prospect of increasing my production.
