The Easiest Way to Automate the Dullest Jobs

Working in an environment involving robots gives me a different perspective on the manufacturing process. When I go to visit customers I always ask myself: ''How can this process be enhanced?'' Not only by using a robotic arm, but how can the process be enhanced to fit the workers needs or make the cycle time faster. There are various things that can be done and almost every working station can be enhanced in someway. So when I see a plant using humans to perform the dullest, most repetitive, dangerous tasks I am always amazed and want to get the worker out of there and give him a post that is more challenging and that requires more intelligence and dexterity. Here are a couple of tips to automate the dullest jobs in your plants.
