There is a great diversity in the manufacturing around the state of Ohio. Many different types of manufacturing can exist in the same area, like foundry steel works existing in the same place as injection molding plastics manufacturing. This is the case in Clyde, Ohio. No matter what industry a manufacturer serves, there is only positives when companies decide to improve their productivity with the help of integrated robotic technology.

Gerstenslager Company has a branch of its international company in Clyde, Ohio. This is a steel working company with blast furnaces. Foundry work, like is found in steel plants, can produce hot, humid work conditions that can be uncomfortable and sometimes dangerous to human workers. That is one of the ways robots can help – certain robots are specially designed to work in even the hottest conditions. This moves human workers out of the hot areas, which improves not only the health of workers, but also the morale of the facility overall. By raising the health and morale levels, manufacturers will have less downtime and sick time during production. Also, robots do not need days off, breaks or vacations, which means an even further decrease in downtime, which improves production numbers.

Another type of manufacturer, Revere Plastics Systems, is one of top 25 injection molded plastics companies in the U.S. They are headquartered in Clyde, Ohio. This company prides itself on lean manufacturing processes. Lean manufacturing is another way that robots can help a production line. Robotic automation promotes lean manufacturing by cutting down on the amount of equipment or steps needed to create a product. One robot can perform several different applications like material handling, material removal and welding, depending on the end effector. With this type of versatility, robots can drive down production costs.
