Part quality issues & missed production quotas can sink profitability in a competitive marketplace. The same problems re-appear but due to stress, lack of training or hard delivery deadlines we struggle to find the time to solve the root cause of the problem & a sustainable answer. In this presentation, we will discuss how to systematically achieve operational excellence using best practices and vendor-neutral real-world case studies. Strategies and technologies for improving up-time & eliminating nuisance stops from failed automation applications will be addressed. Drawing on a decade plus of personal experiences and weld-cell photographs, successful philosophies will be offered to overcome each challenging situation in robotic welding automation. When operational excellence in robotic welding is achieved, manufacturers find: they have improved their competitive position, they are more in-touch with their business, they have reduced costs & waste, and they are boosting productivity through dramatic reductions in unplanned downtime.
