Monroe, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/12/2014 -- The August 11th issue of No Risk Automation, a weekly e-news publication, suggested that asking the right questions from the beginning of a selection process, results in appropriate automation solutions. This knowledge and experience-based approach cannot be duplicated or Google searched. It requires having walked in the shoes of the Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) vendors and the AGV automation purchaser. Too often automation solutions advocated by vendors are designed to make a square peg fit into a round hole. It is not appropriate, ethical, and often very costly.

According to John Hayes, President of No Risk Automation, “The dynamically changing IT industry brings forth new objectives and new perspectives for automation. As more focus is placed on automation solutions both for performance and productivity improvements, the vast benefits of automation can often fail. Some types of mistakes in automation may include selecting the wrong automated tool, incorrectly using the tool, or setting the wrong environment for evaluating the solution. It is worth paying special attention to the automation framework and proper work scope between the test automation and shop floor or distribution center reality.”
