Why not start automation with a million-dollar machine, but with an initial SCAN

A machine worth millions, expectations high - but results disappointing. This is how the story begins of a manufacturing company that wanted to increase productivity and decided to automate its assembly department.

Everyone agreed that assembly was the weak point. The company had invested in new equipment, but even after installation, productivity had not risen to the desired level.

Where was the real problem

Only an independent expert analysis showed that the problem was not the assembly itself, but organisation of work across the entire operation.

After adjusting the layout of the hall and better scheduling of activities, the desired results were achieved - without further investment in expensive technologies.

Why we start with an introductory SCAN

We know more stories like this. That's why at SEMA DesignING we recommend starting every automation with an initial SCAN - expert analysis of production.

He will reveal:

  • where the real bottlenecks are,

  • which processes have the most room for improvement,

  • what steps will lead to effective optimization.

Thanks to SCAN, companies have certainty of the right decision and avoid unnecessary investments that would not deliver the expected results.

Conclusion

Automation is a powerful tool, but only when it is well targeted. Without prior analysis, you risk solving the wrong problem.

👉 That's why we recommend: get a SCAN before making a decision on a million-dollar investment. You will get certainty, a clear plan and protection from unnecessary losses.
