How to install automation in your production line

So, you’ve done all the work. You’ve col­lab­o­rat­ed with a robot­ics inte­gra­tor like Robots​.com to come up with the per­fect robot­ics sys­tem or work cell for your facil­i­ty. You’ve planned out how the robot will work, and even worked out the bugs through vir­tu­al mod­els. And now, the robot or work cell has been built by Robots​.com, and it is sit­ting in your facil­i­ty. But, how do you go about installing this automa­tion into your workplace?

Well, one of the first steps for installing auto­mat­ed prod­ucts, after mar­veling at your pur­chase, is to remove the plas­tic from the robot. This may seem like an obvi­ous step, but it is nec­es­sary to note it. Also, when remov­ing the plas­tic from the robot, be care­ful to not rip any hoses or cables. That can be trag­ic for your sys­tem. When the plas­tic has been removed, please look over the entire sys­tem to make sure it is exact­ly as you wished. Make sure there is no dam­age or miss­ing parts any­where. Once you look over every­thing and ensure all the parts are there, it is time to move the robot.

Because robot sys­tems are usu­al­ly packed on pal­lets, it is easy to move them with the use of a fork­lift. Trans­port the robot to the spot that it will work. It is impor­tant to make sure that this space will be able to sup­port the weight of the robot, as well as the force and move­ment it will be using dur­ing the automa­tion process. Once the robot is in place and bolt­ed into the floor, it is just a just a mat­ter of con­nect­ing all of the cables, and test­ing out the robot for yourself.

Installing automa­tion seems easy, and it can be, espe­cial­ly if you use a robot­ics inte­gra­tor like Robots​.com to walk you through the process.
