Could robotics or automation help your operation improve productivity, address workforce challenges, or eliminate a persistent production bottleneck?
Through Mobile Automated Process Solutions (MAPS) for Manufacturing Modernization, OriginLabs is bringing hands-on robotics and automation expertise directly to small and medium-sized manufacturers across Central Pennsylvania.
Our team will work with your business to understand your processes, identify opportunities for automation, and explore practical solutions – at no cost or obligation to your business.
We Come to You The MAPS team visits your facility to learn about your operation, talk with your team, and identify potential opportunities for robotics and automation.
Explore the Possibilities We evaluate potential solutions and provide recommendations tailored to your business, including considerations such as implementation costs, return on investment, and workforce training needs.
Put Ideas to the Test When appropriate, the MAPS team can develop a proof of concept or prototype to help determine whether a proposed solution makes sense before your business commits to a larger investment. Prototyping may take place at your facility or at OriginLabs.
Our MAPS team works directly with manufacturers to identify production challenges that may benefit from robotics or automation. That could include repetitive processes, production bottlenecks, safety concerns, or other areas where technology could help your team work more efficiently.
MAPS can help your business:
- Identify processes that may benefit from robotics or automation
- Evaluate potential solutions before making a major investment
- Explore ways to improve productivity and efficiency
- Prototype potential automation solutions
- Better understand potential costs and return on investment
- Connect with additional manufacturing expertise and resources
You don’t need to have an automation plan – or even know exactly what technology you need.
If your team is dealing with a repetitive process, production bottleneck, workforce challenge, safety concern, or another operational issue, MAPS can help you determine whether robotics or automation could be part of the solution.
OriginLabs has advanced manufacturing capabilities including collaborative robotic arms, 3D printing, CNC machining, laser scanning, metalworking, welding, and digital fabrication.
MAPS is designed for small and medium-sized manufacturers in Central Pennsylvania, generally those with fewer than 500 employees, that are interested in exploring opportunities to modernize their operations through robotics or automation.
Eligible businesses are located in:
Bedford, Blair, Cambria, Cameron, Centre, Clearfield, Clinton, Huntingdon, Juniata, Lycoming, Mifflin, Northumberland, Snyder, Somerset, and Union counties.
