Is Automation Right for Your Operation?
You know automation could help your operation. Maybe you have a process that is difficult to staff, a repetitive task that is wearing on your team, or an idea you’ve been considering but don’t know how to evaluate.
The Smart Manufacturing Discovery Walk gives you a clear place to start.
In a focused, half-day visit, MRC’s smart manufacturing experts walk your shopfloor with your team, identify practical automation opportunities, and evaluate which ones are worth pursuing.
Within two weeks, you’ll receive a written Discovery Report that gives you the information you need to prioritize your next steps.
What’s You’ll Get
Your $1,250 Discovery Walk includes:
- A Half-Day On-Site Assessment
Our team comes to your facility to observe your processes, talk with your team, and identify opportunities for improvement and automation. - Prioritized Automation Opportunities
A ranked inventory of opportunities identified during the visit, including ideas your team already has and opportunities uncovered during the shopfloor walk. - Capital Cost Estimate
A realistic, rough-order-of-magnitude estimate to help you understand what each opportunity could require before investing in detailed engineering or equipment quotes. - ROI & Payback Estimate
A straightforward estimate of potential return and payback to help you compare opportunities and determine which ones deserve further consideration. - Feasibility Score
An assessment of technical complexity, operational disruption, and the availability of proven solutions. - Strategic Roadmap
A recommended path forward, from potential quick wins to larger projects that may require additional planning and investment.
Is This Right for You?
The Smart Manufacturing Automation Discovery Walk is designed for small and mid-sized manufacturers that want to make smarter decisions about automation.
It may be a good fit if you:
- Have an automation idea but aren’t sure if it’s feasible
- See opportunities on your shopfloor but don’t know where to start
- Want an outside perspective before making a capital investment
- Are preparing a capital budget and need realistic numbers
- Want an independent assessment before talking with equipment vendors
- Are looking for ways to reduce overtime or address difficult-to-staff processes
Why Start Here?
You don’t need to commit to a major automation project to find out whether automation makes sense for your operation.
Our Automation Discovery Walk gives you expert eyes on your shopfloor, practical recommendations, and a roadmap for deciding what to do next.
The report is yours to use however you choose. Take it to leadership, use it to build a capital request, share it with your engineering team, or use it as a starting point for conversations with equipment suppliers or systems integrators.
There is no obligation to purchase additional services from MRC.
