Why Robots?
Many people have the idea that robots are still wildly expensive and too complicated to operate. The truth is that pricing has come down with the rest of electronics technology and the average user of robots is perfectly capable of operating them without any need for outside assistance.
Robots now can run literally for years without substantial maintenance and the precision and capabilities of current systems are far beyond what was available just a few short years ago. The fact is that any company with a significant amount of repetitive action in their process either cannot afford not to automate or at the very least is passing up a lot of potential profit. And because robots are flexible automation, their tasks can be changed with variations in your production over time.
For most installations the payback period is very short, generally less than two years and sometimes much less than a year. On a financed system you can usually be cash flow positive immediately. And there is financing available, even in the current economy, because these systems pay for themselves with cost savings and increased productivity.
