Minimizing Risk in Automation Projects
Proof-of-concepts allow you and your team to be sure that your automation project will deliver the results you need.
What Is a Proof of Concept?
A proof of concept, or feasibility study, is a critical step in evaluating the practicality and success of your automation project. It’s a smaller-scale version of your project where the riskiest components are tested repeatedly under real-world conditions. These studies:
- Assess feasibility before committing to the entire project.
- Test equipment, processes, and repeatability.
- Reduce uncertainty and provide confidence in your investment.
By tackling challenges early in the R&D phase, proof-of-concept studies allow you to mitigate risks and avoid costly surprises during full-scale deployment.
Our Process
At BlueBay Automation, we’ve streamlined the POC process to deliver value and minimize costs for our customers. Here’s how it works:
- Consultation: We start by understanding your automation goals and identifying the key challenges.
- Equipment Setup: Using our state-of-the-art automation lab, we assemble and program the necessary equipment.
- Testing and Validation: We rigorously test the process with sample materials under realistic conditions, gathering essential data such as cycle times, accuracy, and repeatability.
- Feedback and Optimization: Together, we review the results, address any issues, and finalize the solution.
The cost of a POC is a small fee relative to the full project. This fee covers material and engineering hours, helping us ensure success while minimizing your financial risk.
Example: Electronics Assembly Proof of Concept
One automotive client sought to automate part of their PCB assembly process. They needed a robot to:
- Insert shields onto PCB boards.
- Perform quality inspections to ensure proper placement.
Using custom-built end-of-arm tooling, high-resolution sensors, and precision load cells, our team:
- Designed and tested the system in our lab.
- Validated repeatability, accuracy, and cycle times.
- Delivered actionable insights and confidence to the client before project execution.
