No Risk Automation Avoids Conflict of Interest with Vendor Agnostic Automation

May 24, 2014 - PRLog -- John Hayes, founder and CEO of No Risk Automation, is featured in the current issue of Business Excellence. The article, entitled, “Agnostic Automation Vendor Selection: Objectivity Required,” discusses the four steps of no risk automation. Hayes explained representing an automated guided vehicle (AGV) vendor is often a conflict of interest. The end-user customer’s interests may not align with the AGV vendor’s interests. Hayes noted, “The only way to avoid these conflicts is a vendor agnostic approach to automation. As a sales manager for several AGV companies there was an intention to sell as many AGVs as possible. Performance was measured by number of vehicles sold per month, per quarter, per year, year over year.”

Hayes explained the four steps to no risk automation include:

Application Study and Analysis

Specification Development

Vendor Selection

Project Manage

According the Hayes, There is no single way to completely eliminate all the risks in automation selection. There are steps and processes that mitigate the likelihood of costly mistakes. They go a long way in protecting the automation customer.
