The first step is a struc\u00adtured inven\u00adtory:<\/mark> <\/strong>which manual activ\u00adi\u00adties can be auto\u00admated \u2013 and how? Instead of just looking at indi\u00advidual work steps, compa\u00adnies should analyze the entire process, including possible addi\u00adtional func\u00adtions such as visual inspec\u00adtions or down\u00adstream steps. A system\u00adatic approach often reveals more poten\u00adtial than orig\u00adi\u00adnally expected and avoids bad invest\u00adments.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How SCHUNK can help:<\/strong> <\/mark>
SCHUNK offers what is called an automa\u00adtion check \u2013 a non-binding and free initial consul\u00adta\u00adtion. On-site, SCHUNK experts analyze the processes together with the customer, iden\u00adtify automa\u00adtion poten\u00adtial, and prior\u00adi\u00adtize the rele\u00advant appli\u00adca\u00adtions \u2013 including a view of upstream and down\u00adstream process steps.<\/span><\/strong>\u2002<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The key ques\u00adtion here is:<\/mark> <\/strong>Can the iden\u00adti\u00adfied process be imple\u00admented tech\u00adni\u00adcally \u2013 and does the central step that is rele\u00advant to adding value, such as grip\u00adping or labeling, work reli\u00adably? This is followed by further details from the periphery of the process, such as the feed. Many compa\u00adnies are put off by the fact that they have to invest upfront in robots or manip\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtors for vali\u00adda\u00adtion.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Installing and commis\u00adsioning<\/mark><\/strong> in their own produc\u00adtion facil\u00adi\u00adties is the most diffi\u00adcult hurdle for many rela\u00adtively small compa\u00adnies. This is because the struc\u00adture includes design, compo\u00adnent procure\u00adment, robot program\u00adming, commis\u00adsioning, and safety aspects. Many details such as inter\u00adfaces, energy supply, and work\u00adpiece vari\u00adants have to work together. Without external support, this is diffi\u00adcult for most small and medium-sized enter\u00adprises to imple\u00adment.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How SCHUNK helps:<\/mark> <\/strong>
SCHUNK offers modular systems that stan\u00addardize entire processes such as laser marking or part sepa\u00adra\u00adtion. The turnkey automa\u00adtion cells are quick and easy to commis\u00adsion and operate \u2013 without any knowl\u00adedge of robotics. Thanks to their modular design, they can be flex\u00adibly adapted to indi\u00advidual require\u00adments. The automa\u00adtion cells work with proven compo\u00adnents and specif\u00adi\u00adcally increase produc\u00adtivity.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
