10 reasons to start industrial automation today

Reason 1: Lower the cost of your end product

Automation reduces production costs by improving efficiency and minimizing errors. A robot:

• Doesn’t need breaks
• Doesn’t make human mistakes
• Ensures a streamlined process

Example:
With our Costacker, an efficient palletizing robot, businesses drastically cut labor costs for stacking tasks. This makes your end product cheaper and more competitive in the market.

Reason 2: Solve hard-to-fill job vacancies

We all know how challenging it can be to find workers for repetitive or physically demanding tasks. Automation offers a solution.

Example:
Our Cofeeder automates the supply of materials to machines. No more endless searches for people to place boxes on conveyor belts. This work is effortlessly and continuously handled by our cobots.

Reason 3: Do more with the same number of employees

Automation doesn’t replace people—it’s a way to get more out of your team. Robots handle the simple, repetitive tasks, allowing your employees to focus on more complex and valuable work.

Example:
With the Cofiller, a filling robot, employees can focus on managing the production line rather than manually filling packages. The result? More output with the same workforce.

Reason 4: Eliminate bottlenecks and increase production

Bottlenecks in production processes slow down your output. For example, an operator manually packing cookies can delay an entire line. Automating such processes not only boosts speed but also efficiency.

Case study:
One of our clients tripled their production speed by investing in our automation solutions. Bottlenecks disappeared, and the machines operated without interruptions.

Reason 5: Improve product quality

Smart cameras and vision systems detect errors early in the process. This not only improves the quality of your product but also reduces costs related to returns or complaints.

Example:
With our Cognex vision systems, you can:

• Verify printed data
• Inspect packaging
• Locate products on conveyor belts

This ensures strict quality control and consistent end quality.

Reason 6: Produce day and night

Robots don’t need sleep. They work 24/7, even during breaks and after hours. This allows you to significantly increase production capacity without additional labor costs.

Example:
A client in the food industry used our Costacker to stack pallets day and night. While employees performed other tasks during the day, the robot kept working through the night.

Cobots work 24/7 at a pace that’s faster and more efficient than you might think. Want to know how fast? Read our blog!

Reason 7: Reduce dependence on absences

When employees are sick or unexpectedly absent, your production might come to a halt. Automation mitigates these risks, ensuring that processes keep running.

Example:
With an automated solution like the Cofeeder, material supply remains guaranteed, even with reduced staffing.

Reason 8: Assign employees to strategic tasks

Why assign people to tedious, repetitive tasks like lifting boxes or filling packages? By automating, employees can focus on overseeing processes, managing production lines, and making strategic decisions.

Example:
With a cobot handling repetitive work, one employee can manage an entire production line instead of being just one step in the process. This increases both job satisfaction and productivity.

Reason 9: Make your business more attractive to talent

People enjoy working in a modern, technologically advanced environment. Automation attracts employees who are interested in innovation and robotics.

Example:
A production company using cobots and robots exudes progressiveness. Employees not only enjoy working with robots but are also more motivated by avoiding physically demanding or repetitive tasks.

Reason 10: Technology that inspires

Automation is not only efficient but also inspiring. Watching robots support and improve your production processes is fascinating.

Example:
One of our clients said it best: “It’s amazing to see how our Cofiller fills bottles without us having to intervene. It feels like we’re working with the future!”
