Does your business need to automate, but you don’t have the funds?

KUKA UK, your robotics and automation experts, are delighted to introduce an innovative leasing programme available to our customers

You might think that embracing robotic technology can be costly but choosing not to invest in robots could be detrimental to your business.

In an ever-evolving manufacturing environment remaining competitive is essential. Changing consumer preferences mean that the ability to adapt quickly to changing market trends is imperative and, automated robotic processes empowers business owners to do just that.

Can you really afford not to automate when your competitors probably already are?

Investing in automated operating equipment is an important decision-making process. You need to understand exactly where within your operations you can add value. Leasing can however make that decision a little easier to make, by minimizing the initial investment, allowing you to retain capital that can be invested elsewhere.

Despite economic pressures, companies who take advantage of robot leasing can benefit immediately from the production power that they afford. Considerations such as future proofing operations (aligning operational processes with future market dynamics); embracing technological shifts and trends (investing in areas that align with industry 4.0); gain and, maintain a competitive edge (invest in areas competitors may not be and, promote yourselves as forward thinking, innovative, sustainable – a key USP’s for potential investors/customers)

One key benefit of equipment leasing, is that a short-term business plan can be supported. For some SME’s a constant worry is having a healthy cash flow that allows them to trade comfortably. Equipment leasing therefore can provide huge benefits that last far beyond the life of the lease.

Productivity is and, shall continue to be an important quantitative measure, for any manufacturing business. Recently, manufacturers have had access to a vast low-cost labour market, that has reduced the need for investment in capital equipment. But current economic uncertainty does raise the question of whether access to an EU employee pool shall be compromised? thus putting pressure on manufacturers to examine their production cycles and identify processes that should be automated to maintain production momentum.

High volumes and multiple product iterations dictate that employers need a vast and varied workforce, equipped with a variety of skills needed to address a plethora of tasks along the production line. But this presents a challenge to manufacturers who, more often than not, operate on very narrow margins but have very high-quality standards. The compromise must be, to automate. 

Leasing a robotics solution, should be just as easy as leasing a CNC machine, a lathe or, other traditional manufacturing equipment. The difference however, is the life of a robot can be significantly longer than that of ‘traditional’ manufacturing equipment. Robots can be re-purposed according to the application in which they are functioning, making them both adaptable and scalable. Their economic lives, from a commercial perspective, mean they add value, translating time to profitability.
