A second chance for robotics
- By Sue Roberts

- Fabricating
- Article
Advances in technology are providing reasons for companies that had a disappointing initial experience with robotics to try again. Creating a team with members from the automation OEM, an experienced integrator, and the manufacturer’s own shop floor as the first step to creating a robotic cell can change the process from one of frustration to one of success. Many robots are modular, making integration into the manufacturing process easier; more flexible so they can be modified to address more than one process; and easier to program so they can quickly move from one job to another, providing profit-making efficiencies for short runs.
