For many companies, automation is a highly desirable improvement, leading to increased production capability, dramatically reduced waste and significant reductions in the cost of production.
However, finding a partner to work with to create customized automated systems in Minneapolis can be a challenge. While there are companies that provide some of the services, there are only a small number of shops able to provide the full concept through to production work.
Working with multiple companies, from design teams and engineers to fabricators, finishers, electronics services, and finishers can add a significant amount of time to the process. It also means more complicated logistics and a greater chance of complications and problems occurring as the number of manufacturers involved increases.
Having one team working with your in-house design or engineering team, or simply working with the ideas and concepts provided, ensures a complete understanding of the goals of the automated system. This, in turn, allows for creative problem solving and a customized design to suit the production needs.
A Specialized Company
A better option is to partner with a specialized company with experience in concept to completion for automated systems. These companies have the in-house professionals, machines, and equipment to fully design the project and then complete all aspects of fabrication and manufacturing.
Additionally, these Minneapolis companies have a working knowledge of the industry requirements. Creating automated equipment in the packaging industry is very different than for food processing, electronics or in the medical device fields.
The specialized companies focusing on automated systems can also work with a business to modify or upgrade existing equipment. In many cases, modifications to existing equipment can incorporate automation at a much lower cost than designing and manufacturing a unique machine or system.
With expertise, experience, and specialized knowledge of automation, these companies can partner with your business and develop a systematic method of automation that works for your equipment, your goals, and within your budget.
