Factory automation fueled by robots provides many benefits to manufacturing companies, including higher productivity, lower costs, increased worker safety, and improved quality. With robotic systems, manufacturers can experience faster manufacturing times and increased efficiencies, which translates into producing more product in a timely manner.  Additionally, manufacturers can see improved quality due to consistent product fabrication and quality control systems that use vision systems to continually check for defects.

SCADA is an acronym for supervisory control and data acquisition, a computer system for gathering and analyzing real time data. SCADA systems are used to monitor and control a plant or equipment in industries such as telecommunications, water and waste control, energy, oil and gas refining, transportation and now widely used in the manufacutring/production floor.  SCADA helps gather information for getting to the bottle necks in your production and getting OEE numbers up.
