General Explanation of APA

The Automation Potential Analysis (APA) of the Fraunhofer IPA offers you valuable support in identifying automation opportunities and facilitating a planned entry into automation. The APA focuses on the areas of assembly, intralogistics and welding. Use APA to evaluate entire lines or individual stations down to the process level in order to systematically determine their suitability for the use of automation solutions. Both technical and economic suitability are considered. On this basis, recommendations can be derived for complete or partial automation as well as a solution with human-robot collaboration (HRC). Furthermore, measures to improve the suitability for automation can be derived from the analysis results. Discover your unused automation potential with APA!
