The Modernization of Industry Through Automation

Fac­to­ries and oth­er indus­tries have been around for over 150 years, and peo­ple were cre­at­ing their own goods in either small shops or at home long before that. While mak­ing things by hand has been the tra­di­tion, mak­ing things by machine is the mod­ern trend. Indus­tri­al automa­tion, the intro­duc­tion of robots with 3+ axes of motion, into a pro­duc­tion line has com­plete­ly changed the way man­u­fac­tur­ers think.

Auto­mat­ed indus­tri­al robots are attrac­tive to man­u­fac­tur­ers for sev­er­al dif­fer­ent rea­sons. The first is one of the most obvi­ous – speed. When human work­ers were per­form­ing these tedious jobs, they did so at their own pace, which var­ied by work­er. While some work­ers were fast and some were slow­er, none could match the speed of any robot in the automa­tion indus­try. Not only does indus­tri­al automa­tion speed up the pro­duc­tion process, but it also gives a con­sis­ten­cy to the speed and the time it takes to fin­ish a cycle.

Anoth­er rea­son that man­u­fac­tur­ers are lured to indus­tri­al automa­tion is the accu­ra­cy. All robot­ic appli­ca­tions depend high­ly upon accu­ra­cy to be func­tion­al. The pre­ci­sion of an auto­mat­ed indus­tri­al sys­tem is unmatched by human work­ers as well. Robots have a repeata­bil­i­ty lev­el that is sec­ond to none. A robot can hit the same spot a work piece 500 times in a row with­out miss­ing. The same can­not be said for a human work­er in the same job.

Over­all, indus­tri­al automa­tion con­tributes speed and accu­ra­cy to a work­place, along with so many oth­er things. It gives man­u­fac­tur­ers back their time and mon­ey, which they can then put to good use elsewhere.
