There are a number of major
benefits that E-RACE can offers to all parties involved within
the area of automated assembly. Customers, System Integrators
and Suppliers can all use the system as a common platform
and as a common language to discuss automatic assembly requirements.
The Customer can specify the
product, the System Integrator can develop machine system
solutions and the Supplier can provide proposals for the solutions.
In general terms E-RACE provides:
- Common platform for automatic
assembly development
- Logical and thought provoking database
- Sequential and easy to use methodology
- Flexible solutions for minimum effort
- Dynamic concepts to suit every changing requirement
The knock on effect of the E-RACE project is:
- Increased sales of systems and modules
by European businesses.
- Increased involvement of European business in supplying
high technology systems.
- Decrease in lead-time, thus increasing potential throughput.
- Reduced cost of procurement for European end-users.
The additional benefits for the participants in the project
are:
- Sale of services.
- Sales of web tools to other technology providers and sectors.
- Preserved know-how and technology base.
