Product Design & Production
Planning
Industrial
robots are generally applied under one of two sets of
circumstances. The first is the situation involving a new
facility, process, or product; here robots are incorporated into
the initial plans & are implemented routinely along with other
equipment & facilities. The second, more common, situation
involves the application of robots to existing processes &
operations, often in response to management direction or upon a
suggestion from a supplier of robotic equipment. Here the robot
must be integrated into ongoing operations, & changes to
product, process, equipment, or facility which may be necessary
are often difficult to accomplish.
To assure
success in either case, INGORA approaches the application of
industrial robots in a systematic manner. Launching a robotic
production system is best done in a multi-step process that
involves not only the robot, but also the product, production
equipment, layout, scheduling, material flow, & a number of
other related factors. Where robots are being integrated into
existing operations, there are five discrete steps in this
process:
-
Initial
survey
-
Qualification
-
Selection
-
Engineering
-
implementation
