An Overview on a Capability Enhancement through Special-Purpose Automated Machines during Cutting Operation

Gopal M. Parmar, Sunil M. Parmar

Abstract


In majority of the industries, automation is used to improve the productivity to reduce the human efforts and to improve the quality of product. In between initial cost and production cost, there is always a trade-off that is where process is to be automated. To automate the desired manufacturing processes, assembly process along with the manufacturing of each part needs to be studied. Here, in this paper, a different review has been discussed on automated process in which different parameters have been studied, such as capacity and running cost, efficiency, accuracy, lead time, investment cost, productivity, etc. By adding or modifying automatic process, assembly cost can be reduced, which affects the overall cost of the product. So, an attempt is made to design to automate the cutting process.
