AGR’s take on derisking: what works and what doesn’t
Dec. 5, 2024
Arthur G. Russell's focus on adaptability and lifecycle support aligns with the needs of modern manufacturing
Control, a Control Design partner publication, explored Arthur G. Russell (AGR)'s approach to derisking automation projects through a phased development model in a recent article.
This begins with proof-of-concept stages, which include detailed mock-ups and small-scale trials to evaluate feasibility and refine designs. By leveraging modular and standardized components, such as common programming structures and object-oriented coding methodologies, AGR simplifies integration and debugging while enhancing flexibility and scalability.
These steps enable engineers to manage risk effectively, particularly in complex systems requiring precision, like those in pharmaceutical or medical device industries. AGR's practices ensure higher reliability and efficiency in equipment by incorporating automated vision inspections and prototyping methods that can be scaled up incrementally based on client needs.
