Chicago, Illinois - Improving automation efficiencies is an important topic in today's manufacturing facilities and is a major concern for multiple industries. This presentation will explore the value proposition of electric vs. pneumatic actuators and the multiple factors that affect the total cost of ownership (TCO) when determining which automation solution to employ or replace. The importance of various factors will be covered in determining Total Cost of Ownership:
- Utility costs and efficiencies
- Maintenance and replacement costs
- Manufacturing scrap and yields
- Changeover and cycle times
- Review real-life application examples of how to calculate TCO that you can apply to your automation process.
