Fitzpatrick Mfg has invested in robotic technology for our new honing work cell. With this new approach and integration of automation, we will have a flexible system that will allow us to automate this process with a reduction of human labor by 91% and will facilitate lights-off running.
We believe this technology is the gateway of automating smaller and smaller production lot sizes in our company. This concept will allow us to gain approximately 15 hours more of production without adding additional equipment and will allow us to meet our customers' cost targets and on-time deliveries.
