Manufacturing automation and robotization refers to the use of machines, software, and robots to perform tasks that replace human labor, thereby increasing productivity, quality, and safety, and reducing costs. Robotization is a specific part of automation that focuses on the work of robots and ensures flexibility, accuracy, and responsiveness to market needs.
Automated manufacturing is a process in which machines, robots, and control systems perform manufacturing tasks with minimal human intervention.
Main benefits of automation:
- Increased productivity: Continuous operation, consistent performance.
- Higher accuracy and quality: Minimization of errors, constant accuracy, elimination of human error all lead to lower scrap rates.
- Occupational safety: Robots take over dangerous, difficult or monotonous tasks.
- Cost reduction: Optimization of resource consumption and time saving, saving operating costs in the long run.
