💡 “The biggest obstacle to automation isn’t technology—it’s fear.” In the latest intralogistics insiders episode, Tobias Ortmaier from voraus robotik GmbH talks about the fear of taking that first step toward #automation. His advice? Start small. Experiment. Build confidence. With the right incremental approach, automation becomes less risky—and more achievable. 🎥 Check out the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/eDq2R2sK

The 4 D’S of Automation, do you know them? - Dull: Uninteresting - so dull, even the crickets refuse to chirp during a joke - Dirty: Covered in dirt - This shirt is so dirty, it looks like it just survived a mud-wrestling match...and lost. - Dangerous: Capable of causing harm - That machine is so dangerous, even Chuck Norris has it on speed dial...to avoid. - Delicate: Easily broken or damaged - That vase is so delicate, a harsh stare might shatter it. Or Requiring careful handling: “Handling my emotions before coffee? Delicate doesn’t even begin to describe it." Whatever your reasoning for considering adapting autoamtion to your existing workforce, it’s common knowledge that automation is adding jobs and not taking from them. However, some folks are still hesitant to make the investment. Why? Well, let’s find out from one of the world leading automation experts, Dick Motley, Director at FANUC America Corporation And with Integrators like Acieta LLC, you’re SURE to WIN!

Listen to this gem about manufacturing

It's amazing to see how much a small team can achieve with the right technology. We regularly meet 2-5 person teams producing more parts and more revenue than teams of 20-30. By keeping a clear focus on the core business, and relying on best-in-class software / hardware partners, Mentis 3D are on track to become the largest bureau on their continent. So often I hear 'we built our own printers' 'we wrote our own software' which sounds cool, but in the meantime other bureaus spent that time focussing on sales, customer service, quality and growth. The industry is inherently full of makers who just love to build - but just be because one can, doesn't mean one should! #3dprinting #additive
