Tailored production lines
While automating a production line will reduce labour, and increase productivity to achieve better margins, A.P. Machinery points out that most lines will still need some element of labour.
Indeed, asserts the company, lines that use labour and automation together can be more flexible and productive but care is needed not to over use labour to achieve a process. This is where companies can fall prey to being oversold equipment.
To construct a productive line needs a wealth of knowledge that can predict where the bottlenecks will occur, what wear and tear can and will happen together with how many processes can be achieved in the space available. A.P. Machinery looks at all requirements to tailor a line for the individual application.
