5.0 out of 5 stars
Outstanding robotics reference,
By Avid Reader (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Industrial Robotics (Paperback)
Now that robots have become more affordable, they are "trickling" down into smaller businesses and being used for more unexpected and varied tasks in larger enterprises. This book will have you thinking about new ways to employ robotic systems and machine vision in your operations. There are numerous descriptions of successful robotic implementations, an excellent section on productivity of robotic systems, and clear descriptions of methods of calculating payback. Very helpful as well when working with management to get approval of a new robotic system. Recommended!!!
