Focus area: Advanced manufacturing, Hands-off processing
Program stream: Advanced manufacturing
Project number: 2024-1062
The Intelligent Robotics (IR) automated scribing system operating at AMG plant was reviewed over several days comparing the manual scribing accuracy to the automated scribing system for all carcases and specifications processed during the period.
The accuracy of the IR automated scribing system has an improved cutting accuracy over manual operators for all cutting lines. The IR scribing system provides a payback of between 1.97 and 2.18 years based on the ex-work capital cost and between 3.69 and 3.72 years for the overall AMPC project.
