Industries are changing at a rapid pace, which means that solutions to boost productivity, lower costs, and ways to stay ahead of the competition are constantly being sought after. Custom machine automation is one powerful solution that is transforming the manufacturing industries. At Hillside Custom, we are at the forefront of the automation revolution, bringing cutting-edge custom automation solutions to businesses to streamline operations and in turn boost productivity.
What is Custom Machine Automation?
Custom Machine Automation is a process of designing, developing, and implementing automated systems, custom-made for the specific requirements of a company. Unlike off-the-shelf automation solutions, custom machine automation is done from scratch to precisely fit the unique challenges and requirements of individual businesses.
Systems can be a simple conveyor integration or a complex batching system to implement production methods with an increase in output. Custom automation requires mechanical engineering, electrical systems, and software programming to create an efficient and continuous production line.
At Hillside Custom, we take pride in our ability to transform concepts into reality. Our team of experts works closely with clients to understand their needs, design innovative solutions, and bring those ideas to life through prototyping and final production.
Industries That Benefit From Custom Machine Automation
Custom machine automation can benefit several industries in completing tasks efficiently, timely, and accurately. A few important industries that can benefit enormously using the services of custom automation solutions are as follows:
- Aerospace: Automation enables the precision fabrication of complex parts.
- Automobile: Automatic systems expedite the process of manufacturing parts and assembling vehicles.
- Food & Beverage: This area benefits from custom machine automation by ensuring consistent quality and food safety measures.
- Manufacturing: Automated systems increase production rates while maintaining quality standards.
- Medical: Precision automation is used in manufacturing medical devices and pharmaceutical production.
- Nuclear: Automation safely handles hazardous materials.
- Robotics: Custom automation for advanced features in robotics.
These and countless other industries can vastly improve their processes through custom machine automation solutions. Hillside Custom handles a broad spectrum of clients and ensures that each sees their unique manufacturing needs taken care of to perfection.
Custom Machine Automation and Robotics: A Dynamic Combination
Integrating custom machine automation and robotics would be a tremendous leap in manufacturing technology. The combination of automation and robotoics allows for increased precision, speed, and flexibility in the production process.
Custom automation tasks range from simple, repetitive actions to complex operations requiring high-level sensory inputs and even decision-making on the part of the machine. For instance, robotic arms can be programmed to perform intricate assembly tasks, while automated guided vehicles (AGVs) can streamline material handling within a facility.
At Hillside Custom, we have embraced the combination of custom automation and robotics through our partnership with Doosan Robotics. We integrate our expertise in custom automation and software solutions with Doosan Robotics’ collaborative robots or ‘cobots’ to create cutting-edge robotic solutions that will help revolutionize the way you produce.
These robotic systems can integrate into the existing lines of production or form the core of any new automated systems formed. The use of custom automation with robotics has several benefits such as:
- Increased productivity: Robots do not tire like humans and, therefore, can run production without breaks, increasing output immensely.
- Improved quality: Because robotic systems are consistent, there will be less variation and waste.
- Better safety: Through the handling of hazardous tasks, cobots alleviate potential injuries in the workplace.
- Flexibility: Custom-programmed robots can quickly be repurposed to different tasks.
- Data collection: Automated systems can collect production data integral to analysis and optimization.
