About this item

How productive was your robot today?

For the majority of manufacturers, this question is irrelevant. Because even if you know that robots are about to change your factory for the better, you likely haven't installed your first one yet.

Perhaps that’s because deploying a robotic cell seems too costly and complicated.

If you’re a first-time robot user, how can you get started? How do you get from your initial idea to a productive, working robot?

And if you’ve already got a few robotic deployments under your belt, how can you scale up your robotics efforts throughout your factory - or across multiple factories?

The answers can be found in Lean Robotics: A methodology for simplifying robotic cell deployments.

Lean robotics is a systematic way to complete the robotic cell deployment cycle, from design to integration and operation. It will empower your team to deploy robots quicker and more efficiently than ever before.

This book is the result of Bouchard’s decade of experience at Robotiq. Robotiq serves manufacturers globally and has become a dominant voice in the fast-growing collaborative robots industry. It has also been recognized by Robotics Trends as one of the Top 50 most influential companies in robotics.

Since 2008, the Robotiq team has helped thousands of manufacturers overcome How productive was your robot today? About the author: Samuel Bouchard is the CEO and cofounder of Robotiq. Bouchard holds a PhD in Mechanical Engineering and a Bachelor’s in Engineering Physics from Laval University. He lives in Québec City with his wife and four children. manufacturing challenges using robots, from car component makers and Fortune 500 companies to electronics contract manufacturers and family-owned machine shops.

Whether you’re a manufacturing manager or engineer, if you’re ready to make robots work for you, this book will show you how.

    This book is excellent. It spells out a rational process for getting automation projects into production. It's taken me a decade to gather much of the knowledge in this text. I’ll be purchasing a copy for each of my automation engineers.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2019
    I'm a robotics engineer working with university researchers on privately funded projects for industry partners. This guide to introducing a minimum viable robot cell demonstrates many of the lessons we've learned and many more that we'll practice in the future. Acquiring this book was easily the biggest value I took away from Automate 2019. Thanks to Sam for pulling this content together into a concise book!

    This is an amazing read for anyone implementing robotics solutions in a plant whether you already have automation or not, this gives a really great flavor of how to look at applications and see if a robot is right for that task. One important thing that we fail to look at is the risks involved in a task especially when using a robotic solution, this book helps you to better know what to look for and better assess the risks involved in a project.

    For anyone looking to automate, this is a great read.

    Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2017
    I already have collaborative robots in my factory. When I started this journey, I always found it hard to know what I should do first and how not to get lost along the way. I really liked the suggestions this book makes for every step of the robot deployment. I'll definitely use lean robotics to plan my future automation projects.
