Empowering Employees with Collaborative Automation
Introduction
The manufacturing landscape is rapidly evolving, and small to medium-sized manufacturers are facing unique challenges in this ever-changing environment. One major issue is the struggle to find and retain skilled employees, compounded by the increasing reliance on automation. At Lights Out Mfg, we recognize these challenges and are dedicated to helping both employers and employees embrace automation without fear or resistance, using collaborative robots from Universal Robots.
Why Collaborative Automation Matters
Labor shortages have long plagued the manufacturing industry, and the problem continues to worsen. Finding skilled employees is difficult, and retaining them can be even more challenging when they're weighed down by dull, dirty, or dangerous tasks. Our custom automation solutions, powered by Universal Robots' collaborative robots, or "cobots", can help alleviate these issues. By automating repetitive jobs, we free up employees' time and energy to focus on value-added work, increasing productivity and job satisfaction.
Our Philosophy: Collaborative Automation from the Bottom Up with Universal Robots
At Lights Out Mfg, we believe that successful automation hinges on collaboration. We don't want to change the way your team works; we want to automate their existing processes using Universal Robots' cobots. Our approach is centered on working directly with the operators who perform these tasks day in and day out. By involving them in the automation process, we ensure that our solutions genuinely address their needs and make their jobs easier.
Universal Robots' cobots are renowned for their ease of programming and safe operation, making them an ideal choice for our bottom-up approach. Employees can easily work alongside these cobots without fear of injury, fostering a sense of acceptance and ownership over the new technology.
