Automation is becoming the foundation of modern manufacturing, whether it's a complete solution for high-volume production or enslaving the single machine of a workshop, but some manufacturers still think that automation is expensive and complicated.
The lower availability of skilled labor and the continue attention to cost containment have always been the main reason for relying on automation, however today the focus is mainly on increasing the quality and flexibility in the production process.
Automated lines are created for the execution of repetitive or complex operations, but also where safety and certainty of action are required. Additionally, industrial automation can make the production line safe for employees using robots to handle dangerous conditions.
