We’ve written a lot about how to automate and the benefits of investing in automation - and there’s no doubt that in a competitive and fast-paced landscape, automation goes a long way towards boosting the productivity, efficiency and profitability of manufacturing operations. Yet despite this understanding manufacturers are still reluctant to make the move to a more automated production line, put off by obstacles such as high costs, lack of floor space or the overwhelm of choice.
