Rework and recalls due to quality issues can have a high cost. Not only to your bottom line, but that of your customers, and potentially the safety of your operators and customers alike. These quality issues are typically caused by human error, but they don’t need to be your normal.
Thanks to new and exciting innovations, Industry 4.0 technology is paving the way for better error-proofing solutions and automation designed to improve quality, productivity, and more! Read on to discover the benefits of automation in assembly, and how it can help to reduce quality issues you may be facing.
Start benefiting from automation today
Automation’s important role in manufacturing is growing day by day. The more we understand the challenges of modern assembly, the better Industry 4.0 technology, such as automation, can help to correct those issues and improve production.
Let’s face it. Unplanned downtime due to recalls and rework is impacting your bottom line, but that’s not the only issue. If left unchecked, these quality issues could jeopardize the safety of both your employees and customers.
With automated technology in your assembly, you’ll have fewer quality issues to worry about because you’ll take the human factor out of the equation. In instances where following bolt sequences is essential to the quality of the final product, automation is the perfect solution for ensuring that the application is completed correctly.
Automating simple, critical applications with automation provides you with a sense of security, improved product quality, and increased uptime. Furthermore, this enables your operators to focus on more complex parts of the application, saving you the time and money it would cost to train operators. Now, you’ll be able to reallocate them to other areas of the plant where an expert hand is needed for the application.
