Beyond the standard cycle: increasing total work cell productivity by optimizing robot placement and other key performance influencers

Abstract

A robot’s standard cycle time tends to be a primary criterion in estimating work cell through‐put. Many other factors, like robot placement, peripherals and optimization of the work envelope often are overlooked in the analysis. This paper provides insights into optimizing performance by considering all available options to improve cell
