The core benefits of manufacturing process automation

Reduction of cost & product waste

Connected manufacturing automation solutions provide management teams with real-time data that can be used to make crucial, money-saving decisions. Proactively redirect resources in your supply chain or use embedded systems to address maintenance issues and reduce downtime.

Improved product quality

Robots are always online and productive. For key tasks like product inspection, a robot can be programmed to complete that sole purpose, making sure that delays don’t happen and that output is always up to spec, which is essential in the many industries that demand perfection.

Quicker response time

IoT integrations provide real-time, actionable data and unprecedented visibility into your operations. Fresh has the talent to set up your entire system, from the robots working at the manufacturing level to the custom software and embedded firmware that provides you with more strategic intelligence and insight to act quickly and confidently.

Process automation solutions

Fresh engineers excel with automation solutions platforms like ROS Industrial, an open-source robotics software project. It allows us to seamlessly enter the workflows of industrial companies and provide solutions at a lower cost when creating new manufacturing applications.

Intelligent, predictive manufacturing solutions

Based on where we’ve invested, we’re well-positioned to take advantage of the revolution in manufacturing IoT: integrating systems intelligently, using machine learning and AI to create predictive machines, and incorporating the power of the Cloud to gather real-time data.
