Automation
Automation saves labor, time, energy, materials and standardises results, offering improved accuracy and quality.
Aiming mainly to cost reduction and capacity increase, automation has so successfully spread around the world that:
a) changed the shape of things (machines, factories, cars, planes, cities, infrastructures) in one way or another,
b) evolves through the progress of applied research in almost every field,
c) sets the standards for efficiency and effectiveness in almost every area of human economic activity (excluding some arts and crafts that rely on craftsmanship).
Automation has managed to reduce the dependency on random factors, while interlinking processes, machines, plants and industries.
Besides factory-wide, "traditional" automation activities, stakam offers massive product customization.
This special flavor of organization, processes and machines addresses the need to manufacture extensively diversified goods without setting up specialized production lines, or varying the adjustments between batches.
To alleviate the burden of high initial investment costs, stakam specializes in boot-strapping automation implementations.
Thus:
- capital expenditure may be spread along extended periods,
- risks can be minimized,
- production capacity can be escalated to match demand,
- factories can be tuned to changing product specifications,
- production lines can expand and contact according to marketing.
