Working with three independent Robotic Companies, we have put together an analysis that shows that the same job could be preformed by three robots in a time cycle of 38 seconds per each tape recorder assembled. This would increase our production of the product by approximately 140 % in the same time frame that we are currently operating. The analysis shows that the operation will take three robots to do the required task in the shortest amount of time. The whole work cell will be designed so that the assembly line will be both continuous and synchronized. I am assured that the floor space now available will be more than ....
