Frequently Asked Questions
Our EAM experts answer common questions about industrial automation companies, labeling systems, and more—with insights into how EAM’s solutions can meet your business needs.
What do industrial automation companies do?
Industrial automation companies design, implement, and maintain systems that automate processes to increase efficiency and reduce errors. EAM delivers advanced automation solutions for labeling, packaging, and production lines.
Industrial automation uses control systems like robots and software to operate machinery and processes with minimal human intervention. EAM’s industrial automation solutions improve productivity, accuracy, and safety.
What are the types of automation?
There are three significant types of automation: fixed, programmable, and flexible.
- Fixed Automation: Fixed automation is designed for high-volume production with a dedicated sequence of operations, offering efficiency but limited flexibility for product changes.
- Programmable Automation: Programmable automation allows reprogramming and adaptation to different product configurations, making it ideal for batch production.
- Flexible Automation: Flexible automation enables rapid and automatic switching between products, which is suitable for varying production requirements without significant downtime.
At EAM, we help businesses implement the right automation type based on their production requirements, offering expertise in all three.
Which automation is suitable for mass production?
Mass production benefits most from fixed automation, which uses dedicated equipment for high-volume, repetitive tasks. EAM offers tailored fixed automation systems to maximize productivity and minimize downtime.
How do you automate packaging?
Automating packaging involves integrating machinery that handles tasks like filling, sealing, labeling, and palletizing. EAM provides end-to-end packaging automation systems to improve efficiency and reduce manual labor.
How is OEE calculated?
Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) is calculated as: OEE = Availability × Performance × Quality
EAM offers solutions that enhance these three factors, maximizing OEE and productivity for your operations.
