How, where, and when do you integrate automation into your manufacturing process?
Smart technology paired with technical skill and expertise can produce game-changing results.
Automated processes and robotics have long been used to handle the physically difficult, repetitive, and even dangerous tasks previously performed by humans. They have also helped address lack of skilled labor in several industries.
Today’s advanced automation, however, is not about replacing people. On the contrary, it combines the best of automated technology – visual inspection, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, for example – with the experience and skills of technically trained experts to produce the highest-quality products at top productivity levels.
EWI helps organizations identify, develop, implement, and train staff on new automation technologies. Our team works with organizations of all size, from small local manufacturers to large multi-national organizations. We go beyond robotic hardware to support and complement automation technologies that can help you increase productivity, upskill your teams, and mitigate the impacts of workforce shortages.
EWI focus areas include:
- Advisory Services – Providing expert guidance to identify high-impact automation opportunities for current and planned manufacturing operations
- Training – Training on collaborative and industrial automation systems through structured classes and application/system specific training.
- Portable/Collaborative Automation Systems – Novel implementations of cobot and mobile automation technologies to address immediate manufacturing needs and ongoing workforce challenges.
- Tele–manufacturing – Pioneering new technologies that enable real-time remote control and sensory feedback from robotic systems in manufacturing, fabrication, and service industry environments.
