Robotic Automation is merging as one of the fastest growing automation plant improvements in the last five years. Robotic automation allows a plant to be flexible and reliable all while operating at lower overhead costs. However, putting in robotics isn’t as easy as ordering up a cell and placing it within
the plant’s system. There are many considerations that need to happen to make sure that the best area in the plant is indeed being automated. Don
