Takt time reduce from 12 seconds to 8.5 seconds and the number of operators 80% decreased from 10 operators to only 2 operators. It also has the effect of reducing the possible risk of accidents for operators. Automation processes using robots have advantages in terms of process stability and ease in the adjustment of motion, making it particularly appropriate in automation processes in the manufacturing process industry. That is based on analysis conducted by using SWOT analysis method.
