Robotics in Manufacturing
Manufacturing robots refer to a common practice of automating repetitive, tasks across the manufacturing process. The company objective is to reduce manual errors, increase production tasks and save costs. There are many manufacturing robots for sale but not all of them suit the automation task you want to achieve.
Other missing factors are the lack of leadership or management skills and automation knowledge. In spite of challenges, still confident in manufacturing to fill the gap with their own workforce based on on-the-job experience.
Salary Survey: Skilled worker shortage, challenges
It is true that industrial robots are helping manufacturers because project manager supervises fewer employees, but it will not solve all management skill problems. In fact, there is a lack of robotic automation skills for a successful automation project.
According to the 2018 Plant Engineering Salary Survey, finding more workers is the singular issue facing the industry. Finding leaders from among the current workforce is a less visible issue, but it will become a greater concern as the older workers move closer to retirement.
Get peace of mind with Robot Automation
All plants have some form of robotics in their facilities, robots offer peace of mind because they produce high-quality work. Therefore, improving productivity.
They can also be predictable allowing employees to focus on other tasks. In fact, training and keeping the operators are more expensive than maintenance and the programming of the robots.
One more factor to consider is that they can be reprogrammed to perform other applications and refurbished to extend their useful life by providing proper maintenance.
In the following chart, we can see the main benefits of robotics in manufacturing. In this survey productivity is the highest robotic value for manufacturing.
Robot Integrator companies provide training to the operators and we are helping employees to start in automation.
Phoenix offers a complete package of robot automation systems for any robot application from a single robot cell design to an assembly production line including control panel, electrical panel wiring, electrical panel design.

Can Robot milling replace a traditional CNC machine?
Robot milling can now replace a machine tool in certain applications, bringing a high level of flexibility to use different tools in the 3D space. Robots are capable of producing the highest quality complex and unusual geometries parts. For example, robotic milling systems can have flexible tooling for specific material removal.
Why you should invest in robotics & robot automation?
Robot automation & robotics equipment are easier to calculate the Return on Investment (ROI) than when you are investing in a share or stock market.
Robot welding working with 3D-Printed Structures
Nowadays, robot welding works with 3D-Printed Structures. Even though, it requires a more complete structure for the robot to operate this is not impossible. 3D-Printed is becoming more popular and robotic welding arms can help to build even large structures. By controlling the point where the welds are made, it’s possible to control the orientation of parts to be welded.
