When designing your factory automation, simulating your part motion helps engineers and business leaders understand how changing certain variables within the system can impact functionality and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE).
We know that during the design phase of your factory automation system, performance and throughput goals are a top priority.
Conveyance is motion - it is how you get a part from point A to point B. Most traditional forms of conveyance are passive, meaning, they simply move apart from station to station. With Smart Conveyance, your motion is active, meaning it impacts the process itself.
While automation rapidly grows and evolves, it can sometimes be difficult to navigate and understand the right time for your business to automate production.
In manufacturing, we often talk about scaling up to meet market demand. But what happens when supply can’t keep up with demand?
We asked industrial automation professionals when they think about their conveyance platform while designing their automation that generated some interesting insights.
Conveyance is motion and should be considered at the start of the design process. Here are 5 ways your choice of conveyance impacts your automation
Get the most out of your automation system's energy usage. Simulations done with TrakMaster™ software can help identify where energy is needed, and where it isn't.
Increasing throughput in automation is often done by adding more tooling or more machines, but is that really the best solution?
