Automation technology has not just developed into the new status quo as a result of the crisis. In the midst of globalization, increasing competition and shortened product life cycles, it is the necessary means to prove itself in new market conditions. The list of buzzwords is long: Industry 4.0, IoT, Smart Factories announce the evolution into a new industrial age. The right time has come for German SMEs to take the step into an automated future.
The implementation of automation in medium-sized businesses
Automation of production with the help of robotic systems is no longer a vision of the future. Effective in its application and efficient due to flexible application possibilities, automation looks forward to a flourishing future. It finds its place in the production halls of medium-sized companies, namely in the areas of handling, assembly, testing or logistics processes. But here the implementation of an automation solution is under critical consideration. Automation in everyday business must be functional and constantly effective. A general overhaul of the medium-sized production halls is out of the question, there is a demand for solution-oriented special machines that integrate seamlessly into the core business.
How can medium-sized companies be supported with automation?
The reality in small and medium-sized companies is far from being fully digitized. Each company has its own individual requirements and must be met with the appropriate process automation. Among the multitude of possible actions, process structures must be analyzed and optimization potential must be revealed. A communicative cooperation with the right partner is a key factor for the optimal implementation of effective automation technologies. The VWH GmbH is characterized by cross-industry solutions and is available to its customers with individual needs.
What automation solutions are available for the entry level?
Whether a palletizing system, the adequate injection molding automation or a collaborative robot system. A process automation is subject to the constant principle of individuality of the company. Every industrial automation is preceded by an analysis in order to determine a feasible framework for the solution. Low-cost automation, which builds on existing structures, or modular automation, which can be continuously expanded, offers an efficient start of automation at a profitable cost/benefit ratio. Whereby lean management should always be included in the process automation.
The profit of the medium-sized company through automated production plants
It is not only efficiency and safety that benefit from automated processes, the far-reaching consequences are felt throughout the entire production chain. Starting with an increased product quality at a consistently high level, up to a higher quantity of batch sizes, error quotients are kept to a minimum. Due to a flexibility across all application areas, even smaller batch sizes or a varying product portfolio can be solved by means of the right automation measures.
VWH GmbH is aware of the flexible needs of its customers, which is why they attach great importance to the scalability and quick adaptability of their automation solutions.
A conception is not carried out in a complete revision of the production hall. VWH offers efficient automation solutions for complex problems, realistically close to everyday business and functional in their use.
