Coventry-based GF Machining Solutions Ltd (www.gfms.com/uk) has made a video demonstrating the productivity and performance advantages that are available to manufacturers through automation (click on GF TV: Seeing is believing).

The video — Automation: The Productive Solution — is 3.5min long. It outlines the fact that a machine operating a 10hr shift will be idle for 40% of that time, and that by investing in appropriate automation, its productivity can be increased by more than 20% almost immediately.
