Integrating material handling in your facility

Much like the weld­ing robots that pre­ced­ed them, the inte­gra­tion of mate­r­i­al han­dling into an already present pro­duc­tion line can be a tricky task. Man­u­fac­tur­ers have to exam­ine each step in their mate­r­i­al han­dling process and trans­late that to work with a robot, which is dif­fer­ent from trans­lat­ing it to work with a human.

Many times, man­u­fac­tur­ers may have to change their entire mate­r­i­al han­dling pro­duc­tion line around to work with a robot­ic inte­gra­tion. If these com­pa­nies inte­grate with­out tak­ing the mate­r­i­al han­dler into con­sid­er­a­tion, the robots being inte­grat­ed will most like­ly not be effec­tive in increas­ing their productivity.

Once the pro­duc­tion design is laid out, man­u­fac­tur­ers must also con­sid­er how much safe work­space they have avail­able for mate­r­i­al han­dling inte­gra­tion. Even though mate­r­i­al han­dling robots are being made safer than ever, with vision and sen­sors, there still needs to be a safe space between the oper­at­ing robot and oth­er work­ers on the line. The com­pa­ny also must have enough space for the robot to oper­ate with­out dam­ag­ing anything.

After all these things are con­sid­ered, com­pa­nies come to inte­gra­tors like Robots​.com to plan out their sys­tem inte­gra­tion. Robots​.com can inte­grate Fanuc, Motoman, ABB, Uni­ver­sal Robots, and KUKA robot­ics. We work close­ly with our cus­tomers dur­ing the inte­gra­tion of mate­r­i­al han­dling robot sys­tems to make sure that all their needs are met dur­ing the process.

Robots​.com will pro­duce the per­fect mate­r­i­al han­dling automa­tion sys­tem for inte­gra­tion into your work­space. The sys­tem will increase your pro­duc­tiv­i­ty, which will save you on pro­duc­tion and labor costs, while also decreas­ing the amount of down­time from injured work­ers by tak­ing over the tedious, back-break­ing labor.
