Automation Guide and Webinar
December 1, 2021
Automated manufacturing solutions provider Fastems LLC has released a free, downloadable Ultimate Guide for Flexible Automation at fastems.com/automation-guide to examine how one optimized machine tool can perform as well as three underused machines.
The guide covers the six main production bottlenecks that hinder manufacturing efficiency: production planning, production start set-up, cutting tool management, transfers and loading between process phases, quality and tracing and machine tools. Also available on the site is the same information in the form of the Six Solution Blocks for Small Batch Manufacturers webinar.
"Unautomated machines run at 30% utilization on average (7.2 spindle hours a day)," said a company spokesperson. "With flexible manufacturing systems (FMS), machines can run up to 90% optimization (21.6 spindle hours a day). This change results in one automated machine running the same amount of spindle hours as three comparable unautomated machines. The automation guide and webinar explain in greater detail how manufacturers can optimize their operations."
