When and what to automate
Custom automation can give domestic manufacturers a competitive advantage—as long as there is sufficient product demand to warrant the expense.
The mark of a cost-effective manufacturing system is utilization, weighing efficiency against value. Most manufacturing automation systems should be designed to deliver 100% of demand at 75% to 85% utilization.
Balance is achieved when the rated output of the automated manufacturing system is slightly higher than the annualized product demand.
Looking for an assessment your current manufacturing setup and an analysis of whether custom automation will deliver value? We can help.
