AMRobotics Manufacturing Engineering Technicians are process and systems specialists who excel at rapidly assessing a process, identifying choke points, inefficiencies and opportunities for improvement. These highly skilled individuals often act in customer liaison and project management roles. Their ability to identify effective corrective measure, process adjustments and identify what kind of specialist and where to concentrate their efforts lead to effective solutions while minimizing cost to the customer. They are adept at gathering data and, from this data, seeing the potential for improvement and the most efficient path to these improvements.

More and more, we are seeing the impact of robotics in manufacturing. The efficiency, repeatability, consistency, cost savings and production increases due to robotic process implementation have been well documented. Across many studies performed by efficiency engineering groups, reported as of April 2020 in MDPI, on average, robotics increased the productivity of a manufacturing line, when introduced along with manual intervention, by over 30%. A manufacturing process that is transitioned from 100% manual to 100% robotic increases in productivity at time matured rate average of 70%. In short, robots have proven to be far more reliable and less costly than traditional manual process. The challenges in implementation of robotics, either for specific process or in wide scale manufacturing are comprised of initial cost, effective design of automated process and the skill needed to program in a standardized fashion, leading to efficient, recoverable process. The first challenge, the initial cost, can quickly be overcome by the combined potential of increased productivity at a fixed cost. These are dream parameters for creating ROI, and the new baseline for efficiency will pay dividends many times over straight into your bottom line. The two remaining challenges are where AMRobotics is your advocate.

The Labor Market – Our Battlefield

PLC (programmable logic controller) technology has come a long, long way since the first one was invented in 1968. The technology today, capable of operating multiple automated process in coordinated fashion, tracking of production and quality parameters and even to measure and report efficiency has changed the face of manufacturing. We now can produce more, with more knowledge of the product and process than ever before, all while integrating safety in a manner that allows for thousands of human interactions with these processes with amazing risk mitigation. The PLC and Controls Engineers who have mastered these skills and continue to evolve with these technologies and the options that are constantly being invented and brought to the production world are some of the most needed and coveted skillsets in the market, and as such, are also some of the most rare. The AMRobotics PLC and Controls Engineering group is a comprehensive group of such professionals, experienced in many programming styles and applications across all sectors of industry. Our programming team is familiar with many industry programming standards and has successfully programmed and increased efficiency in over 100 facilities in the USA. All major PLC systems are supported including Allen Bradley, Seimens, Omron, Automation Direct and Schneider. From design level program development to in depth troubleshooting to SCADA implementation, no job is to big or complicated for these professionals.
