It’s widely recognised that automation in industry has numerous advantages; increased accuracy, faster production, reduced costs and the ability to undertake complex and hazardous procedures in a way which minimises risk to the workforce are all excellent reasons for adopting an increased level of automation where possible. Unfortunately there are several major barriers which can hold companies back from investing in automated processes as fully as they might. If you’re struggling with problem areas in your product production cycle and could do with some expert assistance to maximise output and quality, then we can help. Find out how our innovative work practices and design ideas can transform your processes and systems through overcoming the perceived challenges of introducing enhanced automation.

Too large an outlay

Particularly when a product is a new line, when the cost of extensive fresh plant is factored into the financial planning it quickly becomes evident that production won’t be viable in the short to medium term. This means that difficult decisions need to be made about which parts of the process absolutely demand automatic plant and which can be undertaken through other means, albeit with reduced output. We can offer turnkey solutions to many common automation challenges, enabling you to reassign or otherwise alter existing resources to provide a better production environment without the need to invest in significant amounts of costly new equipment.

Security risk and malfunction problems

One disadvantage of automation which is commonly raised is that of security. Particularly when you are making products that can easily become flawed or the subject of external interference, sometimes it’s felt that a large amount of human intervention is required to ensure that quality and safety are maintained. Through our extensive knowledge and experience of industrial mechanisation, we can identify those areas of the automation process which are at greatest risk of malfunction or security issues and put in place safeguards and features which result in safer and more secure product production.

Research and development costs

There is a common misconception that new automation must inevitably be costly due to the extensive amount of research and testing which is required for it to prove its worth. Luckily our expert and highly skilled team have extensive experience of what has worked well in other industrial environments, enabling them to transfer this knowledge to your automated processes. This means that there’s no need to "reinvent the wheel"; simply take advantage of work of which we’re already aware then incorporate it into your own automation in order to achieve spectacular results.

As industry specialists we have a long, successful track record in providing customised solutions to a wide range of automation challenges. With a particular interest in assembly technologies (especially those based on Bosch/Rexroth assembly techniques) and extensive knowledge of industry specific manufacturing and test systems, we are ideally placed to provide your company with relevant, up to date input in order to transform its automation systems from satisfactory to outstanding in a rapid and cost-effective manner. With a few small changes, your output and quality could significantly increase, making a pleasing impact on your bottom line.
