Automation goals:
The reasons behind automating the proceses:
- I want to improve product quality and uniformity
- I want to increase productivity
- I want to reduce the number of employees working on this process
Further explanation:
The objective is to integrate and automate the complete rotor production sequence, increase output from 575 to 750 rotors per week, and reduce operator involvement from 5 FTE to 2 FTE. Frequent changeovers are a critical bottleneck because typical production lots average only 3–6 rotors. The target is to complete each changeover in less than the 3-minute takt time, measured from the last good rotor of one variant to the first good rotor of the next. Reduced manual changeover time or automated changeover are both acceptable approaches.
Timeframe:
Expected timeframe for the solution to be installed:
I need the automation solution to be installed: Within a year
Further explanation:
The target is to have the complete rotor production cell installed and operational within 12 months.
