Why does automation provide a competitive advantage?

Several manufacturing company leaders have confirmed that the next five years will be of decisive importance regarding production automation — whether through the adoption of robots or automation in other ways. Those who do not focus on this today may later feel that they have lost their competitive advantage.

By automating production, it is generally possible to:

  • reduce production downtime — every manufacturing company knows the hourly cost of production very well from first-hand experience;
  • produce more precisely;
  • produce more at lower costs;
  • consume less energy;
  • reduce crises resulting from labour shortages;
  • reduce the amount of residual materials generated during production, by dosing exactly as much as needed.

What do multi-component dosing units enable?

One way to improve your production efficiency through automation is to adopt multi-component dosing units intended for liquid painting. These enable finishing materials to be mixed together precisely and with a uniform mixing ratio, saving time spent on the operation, which in some cases can amount to even a couple of hours per shift.

There are generally several types of such dosing units. For example, with two components — paint and hardener — a thinner is additionally mixed in, which is used to control the correct viscosity of the material. Multi-component dosing equipment can be adopted both in automated finishing solutions and in manual finishing.

Where to start?

Companies often lack precise information on the current possibilities for adopting multi-component dosing units — at what volumes the systems can be used, what the correct configuration would be and how the adoption of the equipment would actually generate returns.

For this, Elister OÜ, a provider of finishing solutions for industrial companies, has competent specialists on its team who are able to understand the various needs of a company and recommend a suitable solution and system accordingly. Over recent years, we have installed technical solutions of varying complexity for several manufacturing companies, which today clearly and visibly bring benefits to the company.
