HOW WE WORK
ASG Robotics have developed a distinctive project implementation process that matches our engineers, with their diverse design experience, with our client´s in-house capabilities and, where relevant, their existing equipment. This powerful combination enables our engineers to quickly identify technology or process gaps, and converge on solutions.
Understanding the client´s needs is essential to developing a relevant solution. Our process starts with an assessment of our client´s current production processes and understanding the key automation metrics that will determine performance and efficiency. We then work with the client´s team to establish detailed performance requirements and timelines. We use this information to develop a problem statement that guides our custom-engineered solution process. This approach ensures that we have a comprehensive understanding of the customer’s needs before we start developing solutions. Finally, key metrics for success are validated by reviewing the desired outcome and the performance metrics that will be measured.
We believe that preparing for the unknown is essential in developing custom-engineered solutions. That’s why we conduct a Risk Assessment for each solution and share that information with our clients. This approach reduces delays and additional costs, enabling us to deliver solutions that exceed our customers’ expectations.
- Conduct feasibility studies and analyze the project requirement
- Develop project proposals with cost estimates and timeline
- Evaluate potential risks and suggest a mitigation plan
We start with ideation, reviewing the insights and data collected and brainstorming solution ideas. Once we’ve worked through the concept and developed a solution, our engineering team creates preliminary design drawings. The ASG Robotics team develops a proposal that compares costs to projected ROI based on key performance metrics outlined in the data analysis. This ensures that our solution resolves the problem statement and provides value, such as labour savings, increased output, and reduced production costs.
Our process involves thorough research and development, including the design and building of prototypes. These reduce risk and uncertainty by providing proof of concept to our customers early in the development process. Often, during this phase, we also identify additional opportunities to improve our client’s current processes, providing them with more value than just solving their immediate need.
- Create detailed system designs and specification
- Develop custom software and hardware solutions
- Design and optimize human-robot interaction systems
As we enter the engineering phase of an automation project, the depth and breadth of our engineering experience add value, as we work closely with clients to make sure our solution fits the requirements. Our team is well-practised in integrating systems, programming HMIs, designing safety controls, and building complete control systems. We work closely with clients to ensure any specific safety requirements are engineered into the solution. Our network of industry-leading suppliers ensures that parts and materials meet the quality specifications, availability, and timelines needed.
- Build and assemble the solution
- Conduct rigorous quality control tests
- Ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations
During the installation phase of a custom engineering project for a manufacturing automation system, the designed solution is physically installed on-site. This phase involves integrating and connecting the various system components, including the mechanical, electrical, and control systems. The installation team will also test the system to ensure that it is functioning correctly and make any necessary adjustments. Once the installation is complete, the system will be ready to be tested in the commissioning process, with ongoing support and maintenance provided as needed.
- Plan and execute the efficient onsite installation
- Provide training to client personnel on equipment operation and maintenance
- Conduct safety audits and implement necessary measures
After the installation and wiring of the system, the trial phase commences. This phase involves running tests on the various system components and the complete system. During these trials, the mechanical and control elements such as sensors, speeds, and routines are fine-tuned to ensure optimal and dependable operation. This development process aims to achieve a robust and reliable system that can consistently produce high-quality products.
- Test and validate system functionality
- Optimize system performance and efficiency
- Provide ongoing technical support and maintenance
Our advisory work leverages our wide knowledge of robotic and automation products and platforms to guide clients through the entire planning process, from feasibility assessments to detailed plans and costings.
