Automation potential
March 1st 2007 RTS Flexible Systems offers an assessment process to help uncover 'hidden profitability' in food manufacturing processes through investment in robotics and automated handling. This has been prompted by the 2006 Appetite for Automation research which showed that UK food manufacturers are failing to exploit fully the potential of automation and robotics to cut costs and boost profits. RTS consultancy offers manufacturers the chance to explore and demonstrate the wider potential of automation projects, for example increased throughput, reduced waste or improved yield on raw materials. The Audit involves an interview with senior engineering or project staff and an on-site investigation of the potential of automation across the production process.
