Palletizing and End of Line Automation with Motion Controls Robotics' Scott Lang
Welcome to edition #123 of The Robot Industry Podcast. I had the opportunity recently to travel to Fremont, Ohio and get a tour of the Motion Controls Robotics facility and meet with Scott Lang, president and CEO.
Scott, Tell me a bit about Motion Controls Robotics.
What is on your customer’s minds when they are looking for an automation solution? What is most important?
You have done work in building materials, food and bev, what other industries?
What do you mean by end-of-line robotics systems?
What is happening in palletizing?
What does Induction mean?
What is a modular palletizing system?
Are you finding that you are doing more work with smaller companies or larger companies?
What is more important, cycle time or uptime?
What does the ROI conversation look like - is it still 24 months?
You are Fanuc partner ~ what does that mean to you, Fanuc and your end customer?
Let’s talk about end of arm tools, are you seeing any trends?
How long does it take to purchase, design and build a system?
Do you find more engineers in the building (ie in your customer's buildings)or less?
How are you attracting skilled trades?
How do you stay on target for machine deliveries?
Did we forget to talk about anything?
When you are not automating, integrating automation, what do you like to do, hobbies?
How can people get a hold of you?
