Got a manufacturing company to grow? Do it on a budget with these simple tips to save on automation.

Automation helps to eliminate the need for human intervention during manufacturing processes, particularly the difficult and dangerous ones.

Industrial automation does not mean that humans are expendable. Quite the opposite: employees become responsible for supervising, managing, and operating machinery, in addition to carrying out the maintenance of these systems and verifying the end quality of the products.

The goal is to improve the factory's productivity and, as a result, its competitiveness in an environment where there is competition and margins are narrowing. Read below to learn five ways that companies can reduce costs and save money when using automation. 

Love it or hate it, welding is a necessity for any manufacturer looking to improve production capacity. 

Humans have been using welding techniques for thousands of years to create houseware, weapons, and other goods. 

Nowadays, welding is used for all sorts of purposes, such as manufacturing cars, connecting underwater pipes, building skyscrapers, and more. 

Manufacturers of every size and industry can use welding equipment to improve their production processes. Learn more about welding and how to purchase welding equipment for your facility below. 

A pedestal spot welder can achieve consistent and fast welds, ultimately improving your bottom line. 

Welding is one of the most popular applications in manufacturing. Welding materials together creates strong joints, allowing manufacturers in industries like automotive and construction to create quality products. 

Welding can also take time if you aren’t using robotic welders or pedestal welders. If you want to increase production efficiency and reduce lead time, consider getting the Chowel ASP-750-18F Pedestal Spot Welder at iGAM!
