5 Key Ways Manufacturers Are Benefitting from Automation

Now more than ever before, manufacturers worldwide are turning to automation to help solve labor shortages, grow business productivity and increase efficiency. Automated manufacturing – which includes everything from robots to AI technology – now offers many advantages that enable businesses of all sizes to compete with national and international competitors.

Here are five key benefits of automation:

saving company's time and money

1. Workforce Expansion:

The manufacturing industry is currently facing a labor shortage: With nearly a quarter of the workforce age 55 or older, thousands are reaching retirement age every day and younger workers are uninterested in taking their places. Automated systems are helping fill the gap so businesses can continue running smoothly.

2.“Lights Out” Manufacturing:

Automated manufacturing enables equipment to run for longer periods of time with little impact on skilled labor resources. During the workday, employees can perform higher-level work, while robots execute simple tasks 24 hours a day. This allows factories to substantially increase production and outperform competitors.

3. Ease of Operation:

Innovative, user-friendly technology makes automated manufacturing systems easier to navigate than traditional robots. With fewer steps involved, programming can be reduced from a month-long process to a matter of days – simplifying installation and change over between parts.

4. Increased Efficiency:

By merging human expertise with cutting-edge technology, system automation is helping businesses maximize productivity. Since robots are designed to carry out repetitive, monotonous tasks, employees are free to perform more skilled, higher-value jobs. This reduces idle time and increases throughput.

5. Improved Workplace Safety

With automated systems, workers no longer have to perform the most dirty or dangerous tasks. Robots used for automated manufacturing are also power and force limiting, which means they’re designed to stop in the case of human contact – avoiding injury and prioritizing worker safety.

As technology continues to evolve in the months and years to come, automated solutions will help you and your business stay ahead of the curve. Ready to get started?
