Automation To Save The Economy
By Digi on Oct 13, 2008 in Technology
With the economy getting crazy nowadays, companies are doing all means to save their businesses.
Those who are into mass production businesses should consider investing in automated machines to save labor costs.
I once visited a factory that makes car lightings. I saw all those multispindle machines putting screws on the corners of a car light.
Wow, it was so amazing seeing all those car light parts trailing on some conveyor and each one of them automatically getting assembled and screwed with multispindles in a very quick way. I imagine that if it was done manually, it would have taken at least 20 people to finish all of them in one day!
I know that a machine may cost very high but considering the long term savings from paying all those workers, the return of investment would really be high.
I made a quick research on the cost of one machine and found out that it may not be too high at all. Some companies even have a multi spindle estimate facility on their website so getting a quote could be quick as well.
Now it gets me thinking of getting into a business that mass produces something people use everyday. I have to check my skills and passion first before going into such business venture.
