Unlike many sub­urbs of Chica­go, Niles, Illi­nois has exist­ed since the ear­ly 1800s. It was set­tled in 1827, and was final­ly incor­po­rat­ed by Illi­nois in 1899. While there is no clear account as to where Niles got its name, the town is still alive and well today, con­tin­u­ing its growth all these years lat­er, boast­ing more than 30,000 res­i­dents. The econ­o­my of the town is diverse, unlike some area sub­urbs that are almost exclu­sive­ly indus­tri­al or ser­vice-ori­ent­ed. There are many dif­fer­ent mar­kets served, includ­ing sales, com­mu­ni­ca­tions, food and bev­er­age, sports and fit­ness and oth­er con­sumer goods.

One of the top employ­ers in Niles, IL is W.W. Grainger, an indus­tri­al sup­ply com­pa­ny. Grainger offers a pletho­ra of prod­ucts to make sure your place of busi­ness runs smooth­ly, like abra­sives, adhe­sives, hard­ware, light­ing, lab sup­plies, office sup­plies, out­door equip­ment, plumb­ing and pneu­mat­ics, along with oth­er parts and supplies.

A com­pa­ny like Grainger can use the ben­e­fit of robot­ic automa­tion in many sep­a­rate ways. It can use robots to man­u­fac­ture parts that are made in-house, using the robots for assem­bly, cut­ting and weld­ing, as well as oth­er appli­ca­tions. But, that is not all that robot automa­tion can do. This Niles-based com­pa­ny can also use robots to sort their dif­fer­ent prod­ucts, as well as pick prod­ucts from bins to fill orders. A robot­ic automa­tion sys­tem could also pack­age orders for com­pa­nies and pal­letize them for trans­port. This speeds up orders being processed and sent out to cus­tomers, which boosts the rep­u­ta­tion of a com­pa­ny, like Grainger, and pos­si­bly enhances their profits.
