Because unplanned downtime can still occur when using monitoring and preventative maintenance software, application of the DMAIC sixsigma tool along with software insights can help better identify the true root cause of a problem and how to address it.
Source: SixSigma Concepts LLC SixSigma Concepts showcases the InGage Discovery line, a family of backlit video metrology systems. I/O capabilities are also enhanced, which can enable more automation integration. Updates are often driven by customer feedback.
Utilize SixSigma Techniques : SixSigma offers a data-driven approach that identifies and eliminates process defects to reduce variability and improve quality. Adopt Technology Solutions : Utilize procurement software to automate processes, track orders, and manage supplier relationships.
The company also launched Kaizen Copilot, Retrocausal’s first LeanGPT application that assists industrial engineers in designing and continuously improving manufacturing assembly processes and integrates Lean SixSigma and Toyota Production Systems (TPS) principles favored by Industrial Engineers (IEs).
Cavalier Tool is showcasing ideal projects for its robot-driven Hermle automated machining cell and how the company is applying modular design concepts to unlock its full potential. Its automated machining processes feature hard steel cutting, graphite cutting and sinker EDM operations integrated with rail-mounted robotics.

Machine Learning works better today because we have ten years of improved data infrastructure along with much statistical modeling thanks to such initiatives as SixSigma. Our premise is to reduce overdosing by building a statistical model that can capture and process hundreds of parameters.”
Field robots include a wide range of technologies, from automated lawnmowers to delivery robots, inspection drones, and agricultural vehicles. This experience led him to believe that all tedious outdoor work should be automated. Dr. Asmari holds an MS in robotics and automation, as well as a Ph.D.
From design and testing to deployment, there are plenty of ways to fine-tune automation systems. However, the complexity of processes and associated controls leave plenty of room for fine-tuning during engineering and after installing automation systems. Note that optimization is not the same as continuous improvement. Register now.
As a quality Mmanagement concept, Zero Defect Manufacturing underpins Lean and SixSigma thinking. This requires a commitment to continuous improvement, capturing data and using tools from Lean and SixSigma. SixSigma and Lean approach waste elimination from different directions.
Tooling Tech Group (TTG), a leading provider of highly engineered tools and automated assembly equipment to a wide range of industries, has appointed Cory Gergar as its new corporate Chief Financial Officer (CFO). In 2016, he became SixSigma Green Belt (SSGB) certified through The Michigan Manufacturing Technology Center (MMTC).
Automate business processes, work with experts that transform your organization. From Kaizen Management to AI-powered A3 projects, Digital Huddle Boards, and Lean SixSigma, drive manufacturing digital transformation quickly for cost-savings & process efficiencies.
Learning Objectives: Understand what technologies should be integrated into manufacturing automation and robotic processes Review current, available Industry 4.0 technology trends Learn the needed competences to complete a robotics and automation risk assessment Quickly establish Industry 4.0 To thrive within the Industry 4.0
This combination of the Toyota production system, Lean Manufacturing and Six-Sigma is driving continual process improvements. In addition, more than 10 percent of the workforce has been certified as Six-Sigma Black and Green Belts. Other best practices are monthly, quarterly, and yearly performance reviews.
For over 20 years, MSI has been firmly committed to lean manufacturing, applying SixSigma and 5S principles to identify choke points, reduce waste, improve safety and quality, and increase productivity and customer satisfaction. In 2011, Unisig set up Unisig GmbH in Germany to better serve European customers.
Automated inspection is being implemented in many places, often to check a specific feature but also sometimes as a final inspection before shipping. SixSigma: This process and operational improvement tool focuses on measuring and reducing variability.
While we, automation manufacturers, like to tout the number of tools in the toolbox, the real value to manufacturing facilities is how these tools connect together to create a measurable contribution to the bottom line. Does success mean automating one small task? Lifecycle management is being built into machine automation portfolios.
A more effective approach is to adopt two strategies that will yield ongoing improvements: Lean manufacturing (often in conjunction with SixSigma) and investment in automation and new manufacturing technology. Automated equipment often runs faster than older, mechanized machines, which also contributes to higher efficiency.
One of our most notable achievements is supplying over 60 machines equipped with automation solutions to BYD, a leading electric vehicle manufacturer in China. In India, I expect a rise in cell and transfer line automation setups and greater adoption of protocols such as KANBAN, JIT, SixSigma, and Taguchi’s loss function methodology.

Automation Group is a CFE Media and Technology content partner.
During the early developments from the 1950s to the 1960s, the concept of CNC emerged and driven by the need to automate machining processes. The year 2000 marked the beginning of significant advancements in automation and robotics within the CNC machine tool industry. The introduction of Industry 4.0
The second project focused on the needs of the food industry in Denmark, which at the time was looking for a more flexible approach to automation that would allow factory employees to reconfigure production lines to accommodate new products. However, these levers designed for big companies didn’t work for smaller businesses.
He is a graduate of The University of Miami with a major in managerial science and a SixSigma Black Belt. He is also founder of The Mobile Robot Guide (now Automated Warehouse ) and host of The Robot Report Podcast.
