How to Automate Your Factory

Factory Automation is a HUGE Field, covering a wide range of technologies.

Most likely you found this site in your search to learn how to automate your factory. You may be looking to automate an individual process, or to automate your whole factory. Under either scenario, you have come to the right place.

Automate-your-factory.com is designed to simplify and at a minimum, point you in the right direction to answer any questions you may have about assembly automation equipment, robots, or any type of automation.

Your desire may be very simple. For example - part marking or more complex- like assembly automation equipment.

I have spent a lifetime in the business of automation. It is what I know best. Starting as a apprentice draftsmen, to machine designing, to founding and running Systems Integration companies. I have done it all!

When Should You Consider Using Factory Automation?

There is no simple answer but you should always look what is possible to make your processes more efficient. - Some examples may be:

• A process has become very repetitive and is now holding up or slowing down production.
• If parts are being assembled, by hand, and all the parts are IDENTICAL, then this could well be a candidate for assembly automation equipment. (See "ASSEMBLY SYSTEMS" on the navigation bar.)
• Maybe your sales have increased to the point that manually completing a task, in your factory, has become too expensive or not cost effective. (Robots may come in handy here).
• Or possibly you are finding that as you increase production, and add people, reject rates are also rising and eating away at the profitability of the process.

Now we are getting to the heart of question - COST!

The only reason for automating an existing process, is that it makes sense, financially, to do so.

Please don't fall into the trap of automating because it looks good, or is "sexy", or impressive.

Factory automation, especially robots, can be all of these, but the bottom line is, that it must make financial sense and show a reasonable return on investment.

If you are new to automation, then please make your first project a simple one, that is reasonably sure of success - leave the more complex ones, until later, when you have a higher confidence level and know more about the possibilities.

Please take a look through our site. We will show you what types of automation and robots are available to you.

We will also show you what to be aware of in regards to safety and controls. Assembly automation equipment is explained in more detail. This website is a wealth of information to help YOU make good choices, both for your business and your bottom line!
