Focus on Automation Podcast – Lean Robotics Methodology
With 2 millions manufacturing jobs predicted to go unfulfilled by 2020 throughout North America, an interest in deploying automation solutions is on the rise. Cue the collaborative robots (cobots)!
Listen to Michel Beauchemin, Robotiq Channel Sales Manager, discuss the 3 steps for successful robot cell deployment and common applications on The Knotts Company podcast “Focus on Automation”.
Lean Robotics ebook
Free Lean Robotics resources are available to help you plan your robot cell deployment. Download them to see how the Lean Robotics methodology can work in your factory. Those resources are also explained in details in the Lean Robotics book.
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
The Lean Robotics ROI calculator will help you find out how long it would take you to pay back your robotic investment.
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.
Small early design choices have a big impact later in the project. To avoid any surprises, learn how to de-risk a concept.
Which skills should you and your team members focus on acquiring? Start by assessing the current skill level in your organization.
