How Can I Improve my Furniture Production through Automation?
Automation is sometimes perceived negatively if considered a “replacement” for labor. But on the contrary, automation is a powerful tool to enable the operators’ tasks to be simplified, even to the point of requiring minimal-to-no input from the operator, possibly reallocating precious labor to a value-added process elsewhere in the production stream.
