Robot Maintenance: Why You Should Refurbish & Maintain Instead of Choosing New
When it comes to running a cost-efficient business, you are always looking for the best outcome. You want your business to run smoothly and have the highest quality equipment, but you also have to worry about your bottom line.
Your automation process uses a lot of equipment and automation refurbishment and Cobot maintenance will be a big part of your daily life. It is important to understand robotic refurbishment if you are going to make the most informed decision.
Saving Money With Robot Maintenance
Looking into refurbished robots is appealing for many reasons, but one main benefit is how much money you can save. A used robot could cost up to 50% less than a new one. The reduction of cost can help small businesses lean into automation without breaking their budget. Jumping into automation can free up time and employees to work on other things that can then translate into faster business growth.
Larger companies can also benefit immensely from this reduction in costs. That extra money can be funnelled into other areas of the business that need a little extra help. There are so many possibilities that can be explored.
Faster Return on Investment
When you spend money on your business, you are always hoping that you will be able to earn that money back. Because you are spending less money, you will be able to earn that money back faster with your automation. Increasing productivity, increasing product quality, reducing operational costs, and making faster cycle times are all benefits of using an industrial robot. You can still get all those benefits without spending all the money when you look into refurbished robots.
Fast Turnarounds
You can also move faster with a refurbished robot. They are readily available for purchase and can be delivered quickly to your business. You will likely see a longer wait time for a new robot between purchase and installation. All the time you are not using your robot is time and money you are wasting.
Ease of Use
If you are using a refurbished robot that is similar to the one you are already using, then it will be easy to use. There won’t be a long learning curve because you will be able to jump in with confidence. All the people operating the machine will be able to do it easily and you won’t have to spend unnecessary time training. Technicians will also be familiar with maintenance and repairs which will also save you time and money.
Reliability
Refurbished robots go through intense inspections and testing to make sure they are safe and operational. You don’t have to sacrifice any quality or safety measures to save money. Industrial robots have a long life if they are maintained, so you can reap all the benefits of automation without having to sacrifice other areas of your budget. A refurbished robot will offer you all the same benefits as a new robot and be just as reliable.
Conclusion
Buying new may seem like a good investment in your company, but it may be the wrong choice. You may spend a sum of money, but it may not bring you any benefits you couldn’t get with a refurbished robot. Weighing these benefits against the cost will help you make the best decision for your company. How could a refurbished robot save your business money and give it the same results as a new one?
