…place them on robot when it passes on its bus route,” says Per Hansen, a developer at Elos. “This means they can avoid downtime and interruptions and continue processing the goods in their own department.” Although automating work processes (in a company that produces more than 3,000 different item numbers in batches) down to 100 units is not always simple, Elos’ results speak for themselves: The order book is growing, earnings have increased and growth continues. In fact, the company has nearly reduced its average order lead time in half, requiring only 16 days from production start to delivery, compared…
