Assembly Cells
High-volume manufacturing facilities rely on automated assembly equipment to keep them in business. When hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of product units must be made each day, human labor simply will not do. Even with thousands of people on the job, they could not produce at the rate required, and their attempts to keep up the necessary speed would inevitably result in mistakes, a poor quality of product, a high rate of employee turnover and an abundance of workers' compensation claims for carpel tunnel syndrome and tendonitis. The invention of automated assembly machines has meant faster, more accurate production for companies all over the world.
This is not to say that automated assembly equipment has replaced human labor altogether. Even in high-volume manufacturing facilities, people are needed to run and maintain the machines, clean manufacturing cells and transport packaged products to storage areas or delivery trucks. However, the main functions of producing consumer goods are now performed by mechanical equipment.
Automated Assembly Equipment Keeps Modern Manufacturing Moving
Automated assembly equipment can perform functions such as:
- Filling bottles or packages with product units
- Putting individual pieces together
- Nailing, screwing or gluing
- Painting or glossing assembled units
- Cooking edible products
Whether businesses need a simple manufacturing cell or a complete production system, it can almost certainly be created through a custom design.
