MATERIALS AND MANUFACTURING
• Types of Automation −− Motion −− Action
result in the improper selection and application of these systems, often leading to undesirable interactions with other elements of the assembly process and potentially, project failure. This two-day seminar introduces participants to the critical compo- nents of automation necessary to be informed and knowledgeable about the acquisition, installation, and maintenance of automated systems for aerospace and space applications. The instructor will guide participants through the types, components, operation, application, cost benefits, laws, strengths, and limitations of automation. The information presented in this seminar will cover the breadth and scope necessary for participants to be an effective participant in the decision process when automation has become a consideration to replacing tasks previously done by hand. Attendees will receive a copy of the textbook, “Automated/Mecha- nized Drilling and Countersinking of Airframes”, by instructor George (Nick) Bullen. • Understand the function of automation in an aerospace factory • Decide if automation is right for your factory or application • Select the right automation for your application • Install, transition to production, and maintain the selected automation • Perform a feasibility analysis and an Return on Investment (ROI) for factory automation Who Should Attend This course is designed for all personnel interested in acquiring an understanding of the power and pitfalls of automation before purchase and how to select and install the right automation.
