Automating Appliance Manufacturing with Robots

Robots seem to be tak­ing over many dif­fer­ent aspects of man­u­fac­tur­ing today. The man­u­fac­tur­ing of appli­ances is just one of many mar­kets where indus­tri­al robot automa­tion can be found. The automa­tion of appli­ance man­u­fac­tur­ing gives com­pa­nies the abil­i­ty to improve the speed and qual­i­ty with which these appli­ances – refrig­er­a­tors, wash­ers, dry­ers, stoves, etc. – are pro­duced, and it allows these com­pa­nies to stay viable in a very com­pet­i­tive marketplace.

Appli­ance man­u­fac­tur­ing is prob­a­bly one of the most auto­mat­ed mar­kets in the world, next to auto­mo­tive man­u­fac­tur­ing. Wash­ers, dry­ers, and refrig­er­a­tors, along with oth­er small­er appli­ances, all have intri­cate elec­tri­cal parts, along with pieces that need to be weld­ed and assem­bled on a pro­duc­tion line. With the help of robot­ic automa­tion, these appli­ances can be made in a frac­tion of the time it would take to pro­duce them by hand.

Along with the speed at which robots can auto­mate appli­ance man­u­fac­tur­ing, there is also the need to improve the accu­ra­cy. One wire put in the wrong pan­el, or one bolt out of place can mean the dif­fer­ence between a func­tion­al appli­ance and some­thing that will be thrown out and wast­ed. By using appli­ance automa­tion, com­pa­nies are able to improve the pre­ci­sion of their assem­bly process, while also cut­ting down on work­er errors, which enhances the qual­i­ty of the prod­uct for consumers.
