St. Clair College
$25,000.00
Automation of assembly line processes through robot implementation
FY 2018-19
Summary
The automation of assembly line processes through robot implementation can minimize worker-related injury due to repetitive movements and can increase production efficiency due to continuous assembly activity. The proposed project will design and develop a robot system that will be implemented into a strategic portion of an assembly line process to maximize these benefits. This project will act as a first step towards full assembly line automation for local Windsor manufacturing company.*
