Oakland Park, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/16/2017 -- Plant managers and owners are choosing to automate more of their facilities. Newer automation technology models are now less bulky and much safer for factory workers to be around. These improvements in factory automation are also highly collaborative, which has led to improved efficiency between manufacturing sites. The technology used in today's automated factories is smarter, stronger, and more flexible than ever before. Auto-tuning, new interface designs, and more have increased energy savings and maintenance efficiency.
TR Cutler, Inc. marketing research division determined that 2017 – 2020 are poised to experience exponential growth. The growth within e-commerce, same day delivery, and labor reduction has driven advances in these materials handling arenas. Safety is often the initial driver in new product and automation selection.
