Given the technological advances that Industry 4.0 has brought, today plant engineering managers see the imminent need to update their automation infrastructure through state-of-the-art robotic technologies, in order to maintain competitive performance in the market.
In this blog we share 2 reasons that highlight the need to implement these technologies in your production plant.
Robotic Technologies: When and Why?
- High repeatability operations
The first scenario where the use of robotic technologies becomes essential is within the most common repetitive processes of production plants. For example:
- Material Movement: When it is required to move different materials from point A to point B, many times we find that these materials have weights or dimensions that exceed the load restriction of the operators.
Given this, robotic systems are very useful.
- Palletizing: We know that even with excellent processes and practices within the plant, the operation can leave a lot to be desired if the palletizing is not correct. Robotic technologies help prevent potential palletizing problems, avoiding product waste.
- Product assembly: Assembly processes can often be monotonous and somewhat tedious for staff, so their automation with robotic technologies allows operators to focus on more productive activities, while maximizing the efficiency and accuracy of these processes.
- Material handling: When the materials in a production plant are delicate to handle or are dangerous for humans, robotic systems are a great alternative to guarantee the safety of both products and personnel.

- Quality in precise operations
Likewise, for processes that require very exact quality in their execution, robotic technologies are a great tool to optimize them. Within them we can highlight:
- Handling and sampling: Especially when handling harmful products or dangerous conditions for personnel (eg high temperatures) exist.
- Manufacture of electronic systems: Maximum precision and synchrony? Robotic technologies are the ideal solution.
Undoubtedly, robotic systems are an essential part of the intelligent automation strategy of any production or manufacturing plant, thanks to the benefits of speed, precision and continuity that they provide to various processes.
