More output. Less input. It’s what we’re all looking for in our manufacturing and distribution facilities. For years I have been working on a successful formula that increases profits and productivity. At Arnold Automation, we innovate and differentiate, so that you can dominate. But the question always comes down to “how” and “why” your company should consider automated solutions. With broad brush strokes I’ll try and break it down for you so that it not only makes sense, it stirs interest in boosting your profitability.

HOW
Here are a few ways Arnold Automation can help make an impact with your manufacturing or distribution business:

  • Increased productivity: Automation has led to increased productivity in manufacturing, allowing your company to produce more goods in less time. This can result in cost savings for your business and lower prices for your consumers.
  • Improved safety: Automation has also led to improved safety in manufacturing, as robots and other automated systems can perform dangerous tasks that may have previously been done by humans: think faster, safer, and more efficiently.
  • Increased flexibility: Automated systems can be programmed to perform a wide range of tasks, making your manufacturing processes more flexible and adaptable to changes in demand or production needs.
  • Improved quality control: Automated systems can perform quality control checks more consistently and accurately than humans, leading to higher-quality products.

Overall, automation has had a significant impact on manufacturing in the US, leading to increased productivity, improved safety, increased flexibility, and improved quality control. While there have been some challenges associated with the adoption of automation, Arnold Automation has seen many manufacturers continue to invest in these technologies to remain competitive and meet the evolving needs of their customers.

WHY
The decision to incorporate automation in your manufacturing business should be based on a variety of factors, such as:

  • Manufacturing process complexities: The more complex your manufacturing process, the more likely it is that automation can help improve efficiency and productivity.
  • Volume of production: If you have high-volume production requirements, automation can help you produce products more quickly and efficiently.
  • Labor costs: If labor costs are high or difficult to manage, automation can help reduce labor costs and improve profitability.
  • Quality control: Automation can help improve the consistency and quality of your products by eliminating human error and reducing variability in production processes.
  • Return on investment: You should carefully evaluate the costs and benefits of automation before deciding to incorporate it into your manufacturing processes.

Overall, the decision to incorporate automation into your manufacturing business should be based on a careful analysis of your business needs and goals. Arnold Automation is here to help you understand the potential benefits and costs of automation and determine whether it's the right choice for your business.
