In today’s job market, the manufacturing world is seeing a decrease in new machinists entering the workplace, which could leave you short on labor. Existing machinists may have to pick up the slack, and it’s possible that they may end up feeling mismanaged or overworked. The best proactive approach is to supplement your machinists with robotic automation. For your next machinist opening, consider a new type of resume:
The Load & Go
Objective
The objective of the Load & Go is simple: to be successfully implemented into a CNC machine shop floor and work alongside humans, efficiently and effectively handling raw material and finished parts to increase worker safety and productivity.
Qualifications
The Load & Go is a cost-effective machine-tending solution, costing as low as $10/hr in a 40-hour workweek*. With that cost, you will have hired a team player who works well with others (so long as they give it the space it needs), a skilled machine operator who can load and unload machines until it runs out of parts, and a flexible worker that can handle a variety of different part sizes.
The Load & Go prides itself on being a quick learner – it requires no robot programming to operate. A great communicator, this system offers an easy-to-use user interface that lets your users set up and run new parts, displays alerts clearly and offers on-screen instructional videos for resolving any unforeseen issues. The Load & Go also enjoys staying in one place and repeating the same tasks for extended times, providing reliable automation for an entire shift, or even longer.

- Massively increasing the utilization of its employer’s CNC machines
