Coupled with mass customization and SKU proliferation, shorter product life cycles force manufacturers to continually shift production profiles very quickly. Stick demands for consistently high-quality products on top and you get the perfect storm.

Over the last couple of decades, as a result of changes in demand, competition, and market pressures, manufacturing has become a more complex and fraught affair requiring increased flexibility with a narrower margin of error.

Using tools like the Veo FreeMove system, you will be able to automate the tasks that are most efficiently done by machines while retaining the flexibility of human workers to safely manage tasks that require adaptability, dexterity, and judgment.

In this final part of the case study, we’ll dig a bit deeper into how the Veo FreeMove solution’s quicker and lower cost design, development, and implementation has benefits when it comes to reconfiguring (i.e., recommissioning) the palletizing workcell.

How do the economics of an operational Veo FreeMove palletizer stack up? In particular, what kind of flexibility does the Veo approach enable, and how much is that flexibility actually “worth” to the end-user?

This first part of our palletizing case study outlines the circumstances and conditions of the case and discusses how the Veo FreeMove solution requires much lower capital expenditures and results in shorter payback while providing the best operating metrics.

Is there a way to make your system more “resistant” to uncertainty? Is it possible to eliminate the tradeoff between fully automated and fully manual modes of production? The answer to both is, in fact, yes. And as it turns out, such a rearrangement also has economic value.

In today’s post we’ll wade into some options theory and discuss how the value of optionality should influence whether you decide to fully automate or use only human workers.

In lieu of directly improving stopping functionality, dynamic SSM can become much more efficient if, as an industry, we simply report more accurate and detailed stopping performance data.

Robots and machines, in their straight-out-of-the-box state, are dumb. Humans, on the other hand, have evolved five finely-honed senses and brains that process stimuli from those senses, which allow us to fluidly interact and communicate with our surroundings.

For a wide range of production volumes, human-machine collaboration leads to the lowest costs in a manufacturing process relative to either all-human or fully-automated assembly.
