Dear Job Shop Supervisor/Owner, "I would buy a machine if I can get an operator with it!" is something I hear all the time.
I understand you may also be having trouble finding qualified operators for your shop.
Obviously, small-to-medium-sized manufacturing companies have been dealing with labor shortages for decades, and now it seems every industry is facing this challenge, which means even more competition for good employees.
For the first time in 45 years, the U.S. is facing a labor shortage that is predicted to continue for the next two decades. According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the shortage of employees will reach 8.3 million by 2030.
As a ProCobots machine-tending automation system, the attributes and experience I have developed were intentionally created by engineers to help shops like yours-even those with a high mix of parts-deal with the labor shortage that continues to hinder growth.
I am a collaborative robot-or cobot-that works hand-in-hand with Hurco machines and will immediately increase productivity and profitability at your business. By handling the time-consuming tasks of loading and unloading parts, your other employees can expand their contribution and capabilities.
I am not a traditional robot that requires time-consuming and complex integration because I do not require any additional programming.
Even more advantageous to high-mix manufacturing, I have been designed for quick changeover that takes less than 5 minutes. Designed for portability, I have casters that allow you to move me back and forth quickly and easily between CNC machines, even between machining centers and turning centers.
When it comes to your current employees, they will be able to fully utilize my skills quickly thanks to the fact that I do not require any robot programming. I have been designed for complete integration with the Hurco machine's control system.
I hope you consider this letter as a formal application. I am excited about the opportunity to join your team and increase your shop's productivity. To learn more about my capabilities, visit HURCO.com/Automation or contact your local distributor.
