Project Definition Phase

Team roles and responsibilities

Identify all the roles people will play in your robotic cell deployment project.

Design Phase

Manual Task Map template and example 

Start your robotic cell design by a manual task map, which is a static snapshot of the starting point from which you will work to improve.

Robotic Task Map template and example

Once your Manual Task Map is done, you are ready to figure out its robotic equivalent. Complete it to be ready to do the manual-robotic comparison

ROI calculator

The Lean Robotics ROI calculator will help you find out how long it would take you to pay back your robotic investment.

Design case acme

The acme case was built so that you can follow an example of the Lean Robotics design phase and relate to your factory’s particularities.

De-risking a project

Small early design choices have a big impact later in the project. To avoid any surprises, learn how to de-risk a concept.

Team skills spreadsheet

Which skills should you and your team members focus on acquiring? Start by assessing the current skill level in your organization.
