The importance of manufacturing automation; the DRYSYS advantage

Industrial and manufacturing automation is becoming increasingly important to drive quality and consistency, improve costs, eliminate waste, manage health and safety risks and improved availability of real-time and long term data, among other advantages.

However, history is littered with examples of automation and technology projects which have gone wrong or blown budgets because of poor planning, poor project design or simply a lack of deep understanding of the project scope and processes involved.

A successful move to automation requires a strong project management approach, delivered by experts that understand the manufacturing process and specific enterprise challenges combined with an appropriate technology platform that provides a user friendly interface and limited scope for human error.

Automation can deliver material improvements to manufacturing businesses. However, that success depends on a rigorous approach being applied from project conception through to delivery of the final outcome. It also requires an expert partner with contemporary experience and expertise, that understands each of the range of technological solutions, the way manufacturing processes work and how to leverage the most advantage from information and data analytics.

If you are considering introducing a new automation process, or upgrading your current process, it is imperative that you consider an expert service delivery partner, such a DRYSYS, that has strong credibility in manufacturing industries, built from years of experience and a deep understanding of the key elements of engineering and technology design, project management and delivery and how manufacturing works.

DRYSYS is a bespoke engineering company that specialises in customising manufacturing and finishing facilities, including the implementation of tailored, sophisticated programmable logic systems to ensure consistently high quality outputs.

One of our significant points of difference as a service partner to manufacturing businesses is our in-house designed control and supervisory systems, using programmable logic controllers (PLC) and operator interface technology which are easy to navigate and user friendly with remote and wireless solutions available as well.

Our sophisticated automation systems allow operation of multiple facilities from one central point, ensuring they are all operating efficiently and productively. They can be designed to suit any automation process or facility and deliver outstanding results significantly reducing input and operating costs and minimising sources of error. Further, they provide valuable, real time data to ensure you maintain complete control and can undertake the analysis required to deliver continuous improvement.

Manufacturing is a highly competitive sector. That means that to maintain market position you need to be in a position to take advantage of emerging opportunities and technologies. That means starting out with the best industrial solutions to ensure that you are leading from the front. Taking shortcuts or engaging with the wrong service provider could result in a below par design and installation that puts you on the back foot from the start – and could mean significant budget blow outs, or an inability to maintain your competitive position in the marketplace.

If you’re thinking about a new automation process, consider engaging with an expert service partner like DRYSYS that understands your business and will continue to partner with you into the long term.
