Traditional manufacturing of small-to-medium volumes of complex products is often costly, slow and custom, limiting outcomes. Manual processes threaten errors and delays, complicated setups preclude agility in the face of rapid shifts in demand, and a lack of repeatability culminates in inefficiencies across the production process.

This webinar will discuss flexible automation, an approach to automation that uses custom, modular and highly-adaptable systems that allow low-to-mid volume, high-mix manufacturing to benefit from the advantages of automation, including cost savings. Sometimes referred to as soft automation, contract manufacturers with expert engineering teams offer flexible automation as a way to improve automation of complex products typically seen in medical, industrial and defense applications.

As well as delivering highly reliable, quality controlled and precision complex products, flexible automation offers optimal costs, improved speed and efficiency, agility to make changes to production and the potential of repeatability.
