Monroe, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/07/2014 -- The premiere issue of No Risk Automation, a weekly e-news publication, argued that automation specification development must maximize business performance. Informed business decisions about automation must operate with a safety first perspective, remain in regulatory compliance, and extract the maximum profit from manufacturing assets. Strategic automation starts with a clear evaluation of what is working and what is broken in the current state of the operation. Performance improvement opportunities related to better process control and management of operational information occurs through insight; working closely with staff to conduct a feasibility study that documents and articulates the solution, estimated cost, expected benefit, and anticipated schedule is beneficial.

According to John Hayes, President of No Risk Automation, “Without the need or incentive for advocating a particular automation AGV supplier, a comprehensive and objective viable pool of vendors can establish a fair, unbiased selection process. Instead of ‘making a solution fit the automation demand’ the opposite paradigm is developed. Vendor selection is expressly guided by the metrics, deliverables, cost-constraints, and objectives of the customer. The goal is to both exclude vendors lacking the specific project automation expertise and include the best vendors with proven knowledge and experience delivering targeted automation solutions.”
