Considering the rising competition from low-wage manufacturers offshore and the dearth of job candidates willing and able to work with their hands, one would assume that American manufacturers are in a rush to automate their production lines. Not quite, as the founders of Formic Technologies in Chicago can tell you. Misa Ilkhechi and Saman Farid started Formic two years ago after they noticed that production plants were slow to bring robots to their factory floors for two major reasons. Robots,...

“Robotics-as-a-Service” is a new service model that is lowering the barriers and risk of automation. As labor force challenges increase and robotic automation becomes more critical, this new delivery model allows factories to “hire” automation and pay as if it was manual labor, but at a lower wage rate and with zero turnover. For zero capital investment, you can automate your case packing, case forming, palletizing, or pallet mobilization process and pay as low as $8/hour. Also, some RaaS companies...

Introduction Robotic automation is not a new concept, yet it can be difficult to fully grasp its complexity and overcome its barriers to entry. Which integrator is the best partner for this project? How do you approach your CFO with evidence that you should automate now? What tasks can you even automate? It can be difficult to make sense of all of the technical complexities and varying financial options, especially when you’re already managing other day-to-day responsibilities. Yet with...

Society has long worried that the widespread adoption of robots will displace workers and eliminate jobs. But rather than fearing the arrival of automatons, Shakerria Grier, a 27-year-old quality auditor at Georgia-based Thomson Plastics Inc., is relieved to get the help. In late 2020, Thomson began installing robots that take plastic parts, such as fenders for ATVs or covers for lawn mowers, out of hot-molding machines and place them on a conveyor belt that brings them to Grier.

If you’ve ever had your car break down, you know the frustration of suddenly broken equipment. Regardless of whether you were driving to the emergency room or on a casual trip to the grocery store, it is stressful at best and maybe life-altering in the worst scenarios. Equipment downtime in manufacturing does not carry the same life-changing effects, but it does carry significant financial effects. According to IIoT World and Aberdeen Research, equipment failure in the general manufacturing sector costs...

Palletizing and depalletizing have quickly become two of the most popular tasks to automate in factories and warehouses. Why the sudden explosion? For one, the need is universal. Almost every manufacturer has some form of shipping and receiving in their operation. Also, the tasks are ideal for automation. Moving heavy boxes and goods around, which is what palletizing and depalletizing is, fits perfectly into the “dull, dirty, and dangerous” category of jobs that are horrible for humans and great for...

DCL logistics, like so many American firms, had a problem last year. Its business, fulfilling orders of goods sold online, faced surging demand. But competition for warehouse workers was fierce, wages were rising and staff turnover was high. So dcl made two changes. It bought robots to pick items off shelves and place them in boxes. And it reduced its reliance on part-time workers by hiring more full-time staff. “What we save in having temp employees, we lose in productivity,” explains Dave Tu, dcl’s...

Although no two manufacturers are entirely alike, many of them face similar challenges with regards to productivity, output, labor, and capital improvement initiatives. Any manufacturer considering automation thinks through their choice of partner carefully: there is a high cost of failure, and any production hiccup can impact both top line revenue and operational expenses. There are also a broad range of automation partners and financing strategies, adding layers of complexity. So why do customers choose Formic? 1. Wants to preserve...

The current state of the U.S. labor market speaks for itself. It is estimated that almost 2.1 million jobs in manufacturing could go unfilled by 2030, according to a study by Deloitte and the Manufacturing Institute. New automation technology can help the U.S. bridge this gap, yet it is still very common to walk on to a small to mid-sized manufacturing floor and only see machinery from before the 90s.

Automation is practically a requirement for any manufacturing business that expects to compete today. An established company that wants to get automation typically has to pay with cash, take out a loan (e.g. from a bank), or get specific equipment financing to purchase the equipment. This CAPEX equipment purchase uses money that the business could otherwise have used to grow. However, there is an additional aspect that companies may not consider—the risk and cost of the implementation. Unless a company...

Issues with robotic systems can take many forms: an improperly scoped and deployed system, a broken part, a shift in upstream...

The business assumes the responsibility for servicing and upgrades throughout the duration of the contract. These models have exploded in popularity...
