You know that every day there are new business eventualities, ranging from economic, social, technological variables, as well as the one that puts thousands of companies running every day: competition in the market.
For these reasons, it is more important to have an automated production line, which not only increases the productivity of the line, but also improves quality and production times.
Let´s go to some data that gives us context:
- The assembly line factory automation market is estimated to reach $223.5 billion by 2026 and will grow at a CAGR of 3.4% during 2021-2026.
- To understand the importance of automation in production processes, in 2021 robots performed 50% of the total manufacturing work worldwide.
- For these and more reasons, today we want to talk to you about the benefits you will have by automating your production line.
Why have an automated production line?
Let´s start by mentioning that there are different types of automation within production, which depend on specific production flows and processes that the company requires, as well as its capex potential. Among the main benefits that will be obtained by partially or completely automating a production line we find:
- Quality Improvements. One of the main benefits of automation is the improvement in the quality of processes and therefore products. Since automated systems can perform repetitive tasks with high precision and consistently.
- Operator´s safety improvements. Automating dangerous or repetitive processes will reduce accidents and work injuries, improving the safety of personnel as well as the operation. According to Liberty Mutual´s 2020 Workplace Safety Index, workplace injuries are a key driver of losses for U.S. businesses, costing more than $1 billion per week and $59 billion dollars per year.
- Productivity improvements. Automated processes not only improve product quality, but they also improve line productivity. How does this happen? When operators stop performing repetitive tasks, they can invest their time in other types of activities that generate greater value, from commercial focus, quality control, continuous improvement, etc.
- Cost Reduction. Cost reduction is achieved by increasing safety and improving productivity, as well as reducing waste by having more precise processes and better-quality products.
