3. Define Failure
4. Prepare the Timeline & Budget
5. Gather Information
A robotic integrator is a key part of automation implementation, whether a new system or an expansion of an existing one. Here are 10 questions to ask yourself when choosing a robotic system integrator:
1. Is the company credible?
2. Does the company understand my business?
3. Who will keep me updated on system progress?
4. How good is their service?
5. Am I buying the right system for my application?
6. How transparent and precise is the quotation?
7. Is the system safe?
8. Can I get spare parts when needed?
9. Is training provided?
10. Can I rely on this company year in and year out?
To calculate ROI for an automation project, you need to consider several key variables:
-
Initial Investment Costs: This includes installation costs and any additional expenses for software, training, or infrastructure upgrades.
-
Operational Savings: Evaluate cost savings from reallocated labor expenses and potential "lights out" operations.
-
Increased Efficiency: Calculate the improvements in productivity, such as faster processing times, higher throughput, and reduced cycle times, minimizing downtime and maintaining consistent quality levels.
-
Safety Enhancements: Assess the reduction in workplace injuries and associated costs (e.g., insurance, compensation) that come with automation.
-
Waste Reduction: Factor in the savings from minimized material waste through improved accuracy and consistency in production processes.
-
Compliance and Quality Control: Identify potential savings from reduced errors and non-compliance penalties.
-
Future Scalability: Consider the potential for future growth and expansion of operations.
-
Payback Period: Set a target for the payback period, ideally within two years.
