If you see today’s market, it is dynamic and competitive. If any business wants to be in competition, they will have to fulfil at least three requirements. Lower production cost, high productivity and superior quality of the product produced.
It is a bit difficult to achieve all these three things at a time, and some of them are actually conflicting. Now, if a business wants to achieve all three, there is only one solution, and that is automation.
The purpose of production is actually to convert the raw materials into the finished product. Now, this production could be of three types. For example, we can have piece production, then there could be batch production, then there could be mass production.
For piece production, we have got several designs and for each design, small quantities are manufactured.
For batch production, we have got a few designs; and for each design, small quantities are manufactured.
In mass production, we have got only one design, and that particular product is to be produced a large in number. Now, we can automate this particular batch production, mass production and for piece production, automation is not possible.
For batch production and mass production, we go for automation. For mass production, we generally go for fixed automation or hard automation.
For batch production, we generally go for flexible automation. Now, robotics is an example of this flexible automation. And, that is why, for batch production, particularly in the manufacturing unit, we will have to go for the robots, if you want to survive in this competitive market.
Robotics and the robots have become so much popular in manufacturing units.
Nowadays, not only in manufacturing units, robots are used in different areas. For example, robots are now a days used in space science, used in medical science, robots are also used for sea-bed mining, in agriculture, fire-fighting, and so on. Robotics is an example of flexible automation, and that is why we should study robotics.
