4 Reasons a Turnkey Work Cell Will Improve Your Production
Turnkey weld cells are an easy way to implement efficiency and productivity in manufacturing and production. Adding turnkey weld cells can keep companies on the cutting edge and reduce waste.
Cells can be either pre-manufactured or customized for the specific needs of a company or production line. NRTC Automation can design, engineer, and build a turnkey weld cell to fit all of your production needs.
Read on to find out four reasons a turnkey work cell will improve your company’s production and why you should add one to your manufacturing set up.
INCREASE PRODUCTION
One of the most enticing factors of a turnkey weld cell is its ability to increase production rates, without sacrificing quality. Adding work cells creates less of a margin of error than using manual labor, and has higher repeatability compared to in-house human workers.
Many companies are also implementing turnkey weld cells with cobots, collaborative robots that work safely and seamlessly with humans, and have a lower price point.
There are also companies that are installing turnkey weld cells into their fully automated facilities, streamlining the entire warehouse. These so-called dark warehouses are able to operate 24/7 and increase production through automation and AI.
SAVE MONEY
Implementing turnkey work cells is a cost-efficient method of production. Not only can turnkey weld cells replace expensive labor costs, but installing automation with work cells often solves the problem of staffing when there are shortages.
A work cell is less expensive than buying new equipment individually and adding a custom turnkey weld cell to your facility can save you money in the long haul by increasing efficiency and production run time.
Utilizing a turnkey work cell also minimizes downtime when manufacturing, which can cost an average of $260,000 per hour. The average downtime of production is roughly four hours, which can end up with an average cost of $2 million.
A robotic weld cell reduces that downtime with a constant workflow. Having, for example, a work cell with automatic tool changers allows robots to quickly change applications, and speed up delays.
Additionally, robots don’t require light or air conditioning, so manufacturers are able to save even more money by cutting costs for heating, cooling, and lighting.
HIGHER QUALITY PRODUCT
Implementing a turnkey weld cell increases the quality of your product, due to its high repeatability and precision. Self-contained in one cell, automation production assembles, welds, dispenses, and more. Choosing a well-planned robotic work cell, or using a custom design to fit your needs, can overall enhance your product quality.
Choosing a partner like NRTC Automation ensures that you are being delivered high-quality services that will not only improve your manufacturing processes, but increase your revenue and cut production waste.
