Choosing the Right Automation Process
Posted on 05/01/2019 | by The Orbitform Blog Team
Rising off-shore tariffs are changing the American Economy. Many companies who have previously sent their manufacturing overseas are now pulling these processes back into the states. Finding viable labor resources to complete these processes continues to be harder and harder. As companies are challenged with the reshoring of their manufacturing and labor shortage, the demand for automation is reaching an all time high.
Orbitform’s goal is to supply manufacturers the precise level of automation required for their assemblies without over-complicating their system. Our team has provided thousands of automation solutions to customers who have been challenged with reshoring and labor shortages. Finding the right automation process for your assembly is key in continuing production.
When considering whether automation is right for your production, please consider the following:
