INTEGRATOR OF NEW AND USED ROBOTS FOR INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION

 
 
 
 
What steps should I take to implement automation?
 

The following steps will lead you through the process of specifying, purchasing and implementing your robot automation project.

  1. Identify Your Needs

    Defining your expectations allows both parties to be on the same page when developing a robotic integration design. RobotWorx will help you find the right robot for your application. Our sales staff coordinates with our engineering department to ensure that your application needs are being met in the most efficient and productive ways possible.

  2. Supply Current Pictures and Drawings of Application, Parts and Workspace

    Current photographs of your operation allow our staff to understand your automation expectations. Not only do these allow RobotWorx to visualize the process, but they also allow us to foresee any limitations we might encounter. Detailed drawings, schematics, pictures, or even samples of your part allow our end of arm tooling experts to devise a plan to get your part in motion.

  3. Implement the Most Effective Technology

    Our sales staff, engineers, and technicians have experience developing effective automation plans. They are well versed in robot models, controllers, and automation levels. We want to help you reach automation in the most efficient and direct way possible.

  4. Verify an Automated Process is Most Effective

    Some application processes are not able to be fully automated. Our engineers detect whether hard or flexible automation is the best route to take. When a fully-automated process is not feasible, a semi-automated process may be a better solution. RobotWorx can help determine your percentage range of automation. This is the point when automation becomes the most cost effective. We often have several solutions that achieve the same goal, allowing you the flexibility to choose by price as well as performance.

  5. Visit Our Facilities to Obtain an Accurate Picture of the Process

    Investing in robotic equipment can be overwhelming. We encourage you to visit our facilities and become accustomed to our approach to projects. Visiting can help you envision your application requirements more accurately.

  6. Ask for Budgetary Numbers to Estimate the Cost of a Project

    Our sales staff is prepared to supply budgetary estimates at your request to get your project off the ground. We often perform a feasibility study to determine the effectiveness of your process before you make an automation investment.

  7. Determine the Technical Skill Required to Support the Robot

    The technical expertise of your staff should be taken into consideration when purchasing a robot system. At RobotWorx, we encourage your company to participate in training at our facility before shipment. A few of your technicians will work with our knowledgeable staff to understand how to operate and program your robot. They are encouraged to operate the teach pendant and run your robot through production. Your technicians should understand every aspect of the system you are purchasing. This will increase your productivity and reduce the amount of time spent learning the robotic system.

  8. Involve your Production Department in the Process

    Your production department is ultimately responsible for the success of your robotic system. Allowing them to participate in the progress early on can help you tackle theimportant questions earlier. This will also help you determine the ultimate cost associated with automation.

  9. Remain in Communication Throughout the Integration Process

    RobotWorx is committed to follow up. We provide frequent project details, pictures and correspondence. We also offer Gantt chart updates on a weekly basis. A Gantt chart keeps track of project progress. We encourage customers to call with any questions that may arise during your project.

  10. Receive Training and Complete a Buy-Off Before Shipment

    Participating in training is one way to ensure that your company is receiving a product that exceeds expectations. Another way is to complete a buy-off. This allows you to visually inspect the equipment you are receiving before it ships to ensure it matches your expectations.

Our experienced technicians will consult with customers through every step of your robotic integration project. Please contact us with any questions. Our sales line is 740-383-8383.
