Frequently Asked Questions
The timeline varies depending on the complexity of the project. Simple integrations may take a few weeks, while more complex systems involving multiple robots or custom designs can take several months from design to deployment.
While we've not only been able to complete projects deemed impossible, we've done it at 1/3 the cost! Depending on individual needs, the costs can vary significantly depending on the type of robot, the complexity of the application, customizations, and any required software or hardware. It's best to consult with us to receive a tailored quote.
Yes, we offer training for your team to ensure they can safely and efficiently operate the robotic systems and perform basic troubleshooting. For continued service and support of your investment, we highly recommend looking into our Elite Service Membership program.
Robotics systems can be highly flexible depending on the design. At LGHC, we can create systems that are reprogrammable and adaptable to different tasks, making them scalable for future needs!
Regular maintenance is ESSENTIAL to ensure optimal performance. This may include software updates, hardware inspections, replacing worn-out parts, and ensuring sensors and safety systems are functioning. For continued service and support of your investment, we highly recommend contacting us about an annual service contract.
When selecting a robotics integrator, consider their industry experience, past projects, certifications, and technical expertise. We've had over 40 years of experience in the approximate 70 year long field. We have established ourselves as leaders and trusted experts in robotic automation. In fact the robotics field began taking shape in the 1950s. American engineer George Devol invented the first industrial robot, the Unimate, in 1954. This programmable machine was used for tasks such as stacking and welding, making it the first real robotic system used in manufacturing.
Yes, we specialize in retrofitting robotics into existing systems and processes. First we will evaluate your current equipment and design a solution that enhances your workflow without requiring a complete overhaul.
Industrial robots are typically larger and operate at high speeds, often requiring safety barriers to protect workers. Collaborative robots, or cobots, are designed to work alongside humans in shared spaces, equipped with advanced sensors and safety features to prevent injuries.
Yes, We often design systems that reduce cycle times and improve output quality. A well-integrated robotic system can pay for itself in a very short time. Our systems significantly increase efficiency by automating your repetitive or labor-intensive tasks, reducing error rates, and optimizing production workflows.
Yes, integrating robotics can reduce the need for manual labor, particularly in repetitive, dangerous, or physically demanding tasks. This allows human workers to focus on higher-value roles, improving productivity while reducing labor-related expenses.
Robotics integration is not just for large manufacturers. Small and medium-sized businesses can benefit from automation as well, particularly with the use of collaborative robots (cobots) or smaller, more affordable robotic solutions that scale with the size of the operation.
The ROI for robotics integration varies based on the complexity and scale of the project. However, most companies experience an immediate return through reduced labor costs, higher production rates, improved product quality, and lower downtime. Many projects have an ROI period of just 1-2 years.
