WILMINGTON, Mass. (Business Wire EON) April 17, 2008 -- According to AEi's Chief Technology Officer Andre By, "Many North American companies are discovering the value of flexible automation in developing their new products and processes for photonics, optoelectronics, camera module alignment and laser processing here in the US and then moving to volume production quickly. Traditionally, launching a new high tech product meant the manufacturer would develop the product and manufacturing process refinement manually or with semi-automated platforms to save on initial equipment costs. Then they would begin a lengthy and costly process to migrate manufacturing processes to mass production operations on different equipment across manufacturing plants in its global supply chain."
"Streamlining this process frees-up costly human resources and calendar time by eliminating the additional efforts needed to re-refine and re-validate the manufacturing processes again on different manufacturing equipment. While deploying our flexible automation platforms for both product development and mass production operations is initially more costly than fixed automation, this equipment can quickly adapt to produce new or modified product designs over time which increases the potential profit margins for new products as it greatly shortens the time-to-market for their launch." concluded By.
AEi's flexible automation systems use modular interchangeable tooling and subsystems to support multiple manufacturing operations on the same platform; machine vision and other highly capable and flexible active sensing and instrumentation technologies; and highly capable automation control software that can be reconfigured without requiring traditional programming.
