Integration of Robotic Automation in Manufacturing: Benefits and Challenges for Quality Assurance

/0 Comments/in /by

Robots have helped revolutionize manufacturing processes by lending an assisting hand to humans. Robots have proven to be more effective and efficient than humans, even though humans still possess the mental prowess to help them function. Robots assist in activities like assembling, carrying heavy objects, performing strenuous tasks, welding mechanical parts, and quality inspection. Robots have several advantages over humans like being more accurate, cost effective, faster, and reliable. Nevertheless, robots still have their downsides like being too costly to implement and technically complex, especially for small businesses. This research paper comprehensively assesses the integration of robotic automation in manufacturing, focusing specifically on its benefits and challenges for quality assurance. Quality assurance is an essential component of the manufacturing process, as without it the process is never complete, manufacturing industries adhere to specific standards for their products to avoid causing harm to the end consumer in the long run, hence the relevance of robotic automation in this process. Robots are very relevant in the aspect of quality assurance, as they possess special devices which help in inspecting products during and after production. Through a thorough review of articles on this subject matter from reliable databases, this article discusses in details and suggests better ways of integrating robots in industries for more effective quality assurance.

Exploring the Frontiers: A Comprehensive Review of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality in Manufacturing and Industry

/in /by

Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are revo- lutionizing manufacturing practices by offering immersive and interactive experiences. This review paper synthesizes current research on AR and VR’s applications, benefits, and challenges in manufacturing, covering design, training, maintenance, and quality control. Key findings highlight the applications and positive impact of AR/VR on efficiency, cost management, and quality control in manufacturing processes. Industries are in- creasingly adopting these technologies to enhance productivity and reduce errors. However, challenges such as cost, techno- logical infrastructure, and integration into existing workflows remain significant barriers. In conclusion, integrating AR and VR in manufacturing holds immense potential to transform traditional methods and improve operational efficiency. This paper advocates for broader implementation and research to harness the full benefits of immersive technologies in manufacturing.

The Growth and Development of Iron Works and its Contributions to Economic Emancipation in Yola-Adamawa Emirate

/in /by

This paper gives general account of iron work industry (Blacksmithing) in Adamawa emirate, which have been an integral subsector of the manufacturing agricultural, domestic tools and indigenous weapons. Smithing is the act of turning mined ores into useful metal objects. There are two parts of smithing: smelting and forging. Smelting means using a furnace to convert ores into metal bars. Forging means hammering metal bars on anvil to make weapon pieces of armour, dart tips and more. The industry contributes to the growth and development of commercial activities and livelihood of the people of Yola (Adamawa) and their neighbours. It is worthy to note that the history of iron work activity in Yola shows the evolution and exposed the region in the face of wider world with its technological advancement. The paper adopted both primary and secondary sources of data collection because many researches undertook in the region were mostly focused on socio-political than economic history of the region especially on iron work industry which was neglected. Therefore, research on iron works should give light on the activities of blacksmithing in Yola area and its significant to the economic growth and development of the area.
