Today we’ll be presenting the return on investment, or ROI, achieved by flexible manufacturing cells. We’ll be discussing palletized automation systems, or in terms of what Makino offers, a Makino Machining Complex or MMC. We’ll also talk about the ROI you can expect to receive from this type of investment. And finally, we’ll discuss the software used to manage such a system.

First of all, how do you get your ROI from investing in a flexible manufacturing system? First, you experience reduced setup time, allowing you to get more out of your labor and also streamline workflow. Second, such a system allows for unattended operation, allowing production without labor, on weekends, at night, etc. These things lead to dramatically improved spindle utilization. Your machine will begin cutting parts whenever you need it to.

Makino has over 20 years of experience in producing such systems and helping people use this type of advanced technology. Makino also has a team of engineers dedicated to MMC technology and its customers. Makino is a leader in this type of automation manufacturing.
