summary
The future of collaborative robots in manufacturing is great and has proven to be a capital-efficient strategy for increasing revenue and expanding EBITDA. Using robots to increase production capacity, productivity and quality increases both throughput and profit per part. In addition, waste, scrap and rework are minimized, safety is improved and energy consumption per unit of output is reduced, thus increasing sustainability. The scope and scale of benefits gained is directly determined by the factory’s ability to continuously operate robot-enabled production with high precision and quality. Real-time adjustments of closed-loop processing using advanced robotic machine tending with in-line inspection are essential for unmanned operation. Autonomous process control is a key capability that enables robot fleets to operate “unmanned” in smart factories.
In this session, Brian Conner, CSI/CSP Program Manager at Universal Robots, and Tyler Bouchard, CEO and Co-Founder at Flexxbotics, discuss the Smart Factory production robotics maturity model, along with the benefits, challenges, and outcomes of a comprehensive production robotics digitalization strategy. Learn about the stages of maturity and considerations for people, robots, existing machinery and equipment, solutions, and investments to ensure you achieve your business goals.
