Use the power of robotics to cash in on innovation and make your business more efficient.

Industrial robots can process parts very fast; they can move extremely quickly and lift heavy loads. Cobots (collaborative robots) on the other hand generally move much more slowly and are limited in the payload they can carry. However, both can hugely improve your processing speed when employed correctly.

Where flexibility and human interaction are required Cobots can free up people and open up unused work time.

Where speed and strength are required, Industrial robots can often be the perfect solution

In a manufacturing environment safety has to be the number one concern. At A3L we believe in the 3 D’s for robot implementation. This states that robots should definitely be used in applications which are:

-Dangerous

-Dirty

-Dull

A perfect example of this is in finishing applications. The process generates a high level of noise which could be hazardous. The vibrations can lead to operator health issues like vibration white finger and the dust can cause  respiratory issues. Added to this the process generates a lot of dirt and can be extremely boring to complete manually.

The use of robots or automation in these environments can improve safety and make your work place a far more pleasant space.

Quality is a given in manufacturing today. Parts delivered to customers are expected to be consistently of a very high standard. Manual labour is renowned for variation and in todays work place where people can change regularly then this can be especially true.

The use of automation within your work place will deliver a more consistent process and help to ensure you delivery the same high standard of part to your customer every time.

Automation can really help to ensure your parts are flowing through production consistently through the working shifts but also when the business is closed. Robots do not need breaks and can work through the night and weekends if set up correctly and given enough materials to process.

Businesses utilising automation in this way can make huge gains in productivity and profit.

At A3L we aim to work with you to ensure that you become more productive and make increased profits with  automation. These efficiency gains will help you grow by taking on more work and being more competitive in your market place.

Unfortunately, If you’re not using robotics or automation, your competitors probably are. The use of robotics is fast becoming the ‘standard’ not the ‘advanced.’ China currently is the biggest market place for robots globally. Traditionally a low labour cost economy it is fast becoming highly automated and highly efficient.

Fast returns can be achieved with automation especially where ‘down time’ can be utilised or manual operations replaced. 

Customer A

“Using a Cobot to load parts onto our CNC lathe has meant that we can process many more parts per week even though the time per part is slower with the Cobot. With it we can process through the night and this untapped potential has led to great returns”

Customer B

“This investment has led to the fastest ROI in our history. Not only does it help process parts but it also allows use to utilise people elsewhere making other parts meaning that the whole business runs more smoothly. We are able to maintain stock levels and have less instances of firefighting to meet customers’ demands”

Customer C

“A3L’s automation has meant that two processes ( one manual and one automated) have been combined into one automated meaning that the time to produce a part has been reduced from around a week to one shift.”
