Andy McMillan, chair of the advisory board at Cirtronics, an experienced robotics contract manufacturer located in Milford, NH, hosted a panel of three senior robotics executives at the Inaugural Robotics Summit and Showcase in Boston, MA on May 23rd. The experts shared their perspectives on how Design for Manufacturing (DFx) can assist in facilitating successful outsourced production of robotic devices. Although the three companies design and sell robots for very different markets, all of them rely on DFx to optimize product design, supply chain, and assembly processes to simplify, accelerate and reduce the cost of manufacturing. “The goal of DFx is to achieve alignment between the design of a product and production processes in order to yield optimized cost and quality”, said McMillan.

They were particularly interested in the predictability of payment and the competitive loan structure and pricing that could help facilitate their Capital Equipment sales. It was a very productive session and we look forward to continuing the conversation.”
