By: Skilligent Skilligent LLC announces availability of a new robot learning software product DALLAS, TX -- July 20, 2007 – Skilligent LLC (http://www.skilligent.com) Today, at average, up to 80% of budget of a typical robotics automation project is spent on programming the robots. In other words, system integration work costs 4 times more than the cost of the robotics hardware. Robotics industrial automation is that expensive due to excessive system integration costs which include programming the robots. Why this is bad? 1. Small companies cannot afford industrial automation due to the high cost of an automation project 2. Small companies don’t use robots because once programmed, they become rigid workers – hard to switch to a new product line or introduce an improved manufacturing process. Any change requires additional investments into re-programming. Small companies usually operate in a less predictable environment than large corporations; 3. Small companies don’t want to be dependant on an external system integration company to program their robots The advantage of Skilligent!: save up to 80% of ownership costs by eliminating or reducing the need to program the robot – use robots guided by Skilligent!
