Automation of Manufacturing Now Within Reach via Provision for Robotics' One-Stop RFQ
An automation consulting firm that offers manufacturers the ability to obtain multiple quotations to fulfill their automation needs by submitting a single request for quotations.
HOUSTON, July 18, 2012 -- There was once a time when the automation of manufacturing seemed way beyond the reach of most companies. That's no longer the case, according to Provision for Robotics, an automation consulting firm that offers manufacturers the ability to obtain multiple quotations to fulfill their automation needs by submitting a single request for quotations.
"Smaller manufacturers have historically felt that automation was out of their price range," said John Mitchell, founder and president of Provision for Robotics. "However, the cost of automation has fallen significantly over the last few years, and the smaller players are now able to reap the benefits. A typical ROI for a completed automation project can be less than one year."
After analyzing trends in the marketplace for small manufacturers, Mitchell discovered that there was a growing need for manufacturers to optimize production with automation, which led to his founding of Provision for Robotics.
"I'm not aware of any other business that offers what we do," said Mitchell. "There are a lot of providers that offer services to manufacturers looking to automate, but it's a biased view because they only offer one solution -- theirs."
Mitchell explained that since his company is not contracted to any one of the many automation technology manufacturing companies, it is able to supply clients with answers to their questions about the benefits and liabilities of an automation application for their business.
"We can give manufacturers more than one proposal to perform their automation project since a wide range of solution providers accept proposals through our website. This can lead to some competitive bids," Mitchell continued.
Automation solution providers may request to be added to Provision for Robotics' premier list of providers at http://www.provinc.net .
"Taking this step will help providers reduce their cost of sales, while receiving requests to create quality automation solutions for our clients," Mitchell concluded.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
