Guide to Implementing Industrial Robots

35ddb320653f7ec682bc66b834ff6a54-huge-robots-guide-cover-240.jpgIET Standards has released a free Guide to Implementing Industrial Robots. Essential reading for all those involved in automating manufatcuring processes!


The Guide sheds light on some of the key issues to consider when evaluating whether or not a business should automate and the processes involved when the decision to automate has been taken. These issues include:


a) the range of benefits associated with having an automated manufacturing system;

b) the challenges that an automated system presents in terms of its setting up and running; and

c) the process involved in evaluating a business’ need for automation, the cost associated with the automation process, the potential risks and opportunities of implementing an automation system and how to effectively manage an automated system.

  • Hi Gemma,


    do you have a current link to this publication as I think it may be even more valuable now as I think we will see a large increase of automation within manufacturing post covid-19

    Hi Kieron,

    The link to the guide is here:
    https://www.theiet.org/media/2736/guide-to-implementing-industrial-robots.pdf


    One word of caution though, which I voiced to the IET just after this book was originally published.

    It does not mention compliance with the legal duties under the Supply of Machinery Safety Regulations, with regard to meeting the Essential Health and Safety Requirements, and thus as it still currently stands CE marking of the robot "cell".


    If you are looking to implement robots in your manufacturing process, then this is something you need to be very careful with as it is a legal duty.

    PM me if you want to know more, as I am wary of overstepping the mark and promoting my own business on the IET site.
  • Hi Paul,


    Thank you for sharing the link. At this point it is purely for my own personal interest and research into an area I feel will be accelerated by recent events.


    If at some point my organisation or future organisation I am involved with does decide to investigate further I will drop you a message if that’s ok?


    Kind regards,


    Kieron Wood
