You may be building parts of different materials, shapes, and sizes and may require different machines and tooling to process the parts. You may also struggle with material storage requirements and might produce several WIP items as it might be cheaper than ordering each individual part. Given such constraints, how many people would think of implementing #robotic cell for a prototyping business?In today's episode, our guest, Brian Kippen, shares his insights on Robotic cell technology and how that can be implemented to increase capacity. He also discusses the nuances of the prototyping business, and while it might be counterintuitive to implement robotic cell technology, he could successfully implement it by standardizing the processes.
