In an effort to become more competitive, increase profitability and improve quality, and meet or exceed a customer's schedule, companies are turning to automated processes that increase production throughput and profitability, while improving quality and work consistency. Despite the significant initial costs associated with the integration of new technologies into existing operation and the modernization of facilities, the long-term benefits include increased profits, shortened lead times, greater consistency and repeatability, improved quality and customer satisfaction.
Materials testing labs across all industries, including metals, plastics, elastomers, biomedical, paper, and more, have the opportunity to automate many of their R&D and QC testing processes to provide increased throughput and better financial performance of the business. There is a need for testing lab managers to reduce overall operating costs, yet still meet the demands of higher testing volumes, timeliness of results, improved reliability and reproducibility of data and ensured operator safety.
Automated materials testing sytems are a viable solution that satifies all of these requirements.
To justify the purchase of these quite expensive systems, one must have a good understanding of the true value that can be obtained from this equipment, especially in today's economy.
If the economy continues to spiral downward, companies (in all industries) will begin to focus their efforts on running leaner to remain competitive and maximize profits. Running leaner does not necessarily mean reducing head count or minimizing production. Companies are investing resources into systems, such as automated specimen handling systems, when the benefits outweighs the cost.
