Abstract

Earlier the purpose of automation was to increase productivity (since automated systems can work 24 hours a day) and to reduce the cost associated with human operators (i.e. wages & benefits). However, today, the focus of automation has shifted to increasing quality and flexibility in the manufacturingprocess.At PrecimacSolutions, we had an amazing opportunity to work on an industrial automation project for Sandwick Asia under the guidance of highly qualified engineers. The aim was to increase quality, productivity, and most importantly safety at a Vertical Machining Centres. Optimized production processes are essential to achieve a goodcompetitive position. This means flexible production systems with the right level of IT and automation. Automation gives faster, safer production processes that are more efficient, flexible, reliable, sustainable, and cost-effective
