How Axis New England Helps Companies
Automate Automation is nothing new, and it has
been around for centuries, like Richard
Arkwrights invention of a water-powered wheel
to automate milling processes in 1771. However,
the term did not start to become mainstream
until the 1940s, largely in part to Fords
automated manufacturing processes and the
development of their own in-house automation
department. Since that time, automation has taken
on many different forms. There have been various
robotic parts which have been used to perform
various tasks and functions, such as welding,
moving/lifting heavy objects, soldering,
tightening fasteners, and so on. Today, all types
of organizations in all industries are exploring
various ways they can automate, thanks to
advances in technology.
Many different types of robots are being
developed, beyond those used for manufacturing
and production operations, from automated
inquiries systems, like Google Home and Amazon
Echo, to fully automated vehicles that only
require the individual to state their
destination. Over the next decade, we can expect
the use of robotic control systems, robots, and
robotic process automation (RPA) to continue to
grow and expand. Here at Axis New England, we
have been specializing in automation solutions
for over 20 years, with a primary focus on
robotics, machine vision, and motion control.
Plus, we are the largest automation technology
center in the United States. All of our RPA and
robotic solutions are flexible and adaptable as
your business grows and needs change.

Why Does Your Company Need Robotic Solutions from
Axis New England? As a business owner, you should
be thinking about what processes, tasks, and
functions you could automate to make things
easier for your employees. This is not to say to
replace your employees with robots, but to
consider how you can make your employees more
productive with automated solutions using
collaborative robots.
These robots, which are sometimes referred to a
co-bots, are controlled by humans to perform
specific functions, tasks, and automated
processes while working alongside humans, not
replacing them. For instance, in law enforcement,
co-bots with smart cameras can be used in
threatening situations so responders can first
assess the dangers. Aside from improving safety
on the job, RPA and automation solutions from
Axis New England have other benefits for all
types of businesses in any industry,
including Accuracy Humans have difficulties
with replication tasks and do tend to make minor
variations from one to the next. Robots, on the
other hand, can replicate the same process
hundreds of thousands of times, and each result
will be the same. Simplified Changed Management
Robots perform their operations through the
directions given in a software application. As
such, they rely on the app to complete tasks,
and, if changes are needed, they are easy to make
by updating or altering the app to tell the
robots what it is they need to do.

Efficiency Robots do not get sick, and most
types are able to operate around the clock with
little human interaction. Easier to Perform
Audits RPA stores data on each task and
function robots perform, so, acquiring the data
to complete audits is faster since you only need
to pull logs and run some reports. Improved
Regulatory Compliance With certain industries,
where there are regulatory compliance issues,
the use of robots can help satisfy many of these
and make various work processes and environments
safer for employees. Reduced Costs The costs
for robots has been declining, in recent years,
as technologies are advancing. In fact, a
software-driven robotic solution costs much less
today and is even lower than offshoring
processes overseas once fully implemented. In
addition to providing robots and RPA solutions,
Axis New England offers a wide array of other
products and solutions to further enhance
automation processes, including Control Systems
Industrial Networking Mechanics HMI/Feedback
Motors/Amplifiers Vision/Sensing/Safety Some of
the industries where our products and solutions
are being used include Law Enforcement Healthcar
e Manufacturing Agriculture Construction Biomedi
cal Precision Machining Defense
Semiconductor If you have a process you want to
automate, regardless of the industry, we can help
so you will have a more productive workforce.
