Why Automation Fails in High-Mix Environments

Rigid programming can’t keep up with changeovers and real-world variation. Acteris is the intelligence layer for industrial robots, built to run high-mix automation with less reprogramming and more uptime.

THE PROBLEM

[01]

THE PROBLEM

High-mix production creates the hardest conditions
for automation.

Frequent changeovers, part variability, shifting priorities, and constant pressure on throughput. Traditional robot programming works best when processes stay stable but becomes slow, expensive, and fragile when production changes every day.

This is why many manufacturers remain underserved by automation. Deployments take too long, adapting to new jobs costs too much, and performance depends on a few specialized experts. High-mix operations need robotic automation that can adapt rather than just repeat.
