ENGLISH ABSTRACT: According to the magazine "Engineering News" (7 Sept. 1984, 31 Jan. 1986, 17 July 1989) the use of robots in South Africa is increasing all the time. The rate of increase changed from 9 between 1984 and 1986 to 35 between 1987 and 1989. The cost of robots is a factor keeping companies from implementing robots into their production lines. (Steder, Dibner (1988)). The need for cheap multi-purpose robots in South Africa will most definitely grow in the near future according to these trends. Furthermore, the cost of production will have to be decreased to be competitive on the international market. Robots lowers production costs through time saving, extra quality, decreased reworking and smaller economical batch sizes according to Holmqvist and Ostman (1988). AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die tydskrif "Engineering News" ( 7 Sept. 1984, 31 Jan. 1986, 17 Julie 1987, 21 Julie 1989) wys daarop dat die gebruik van robotte in Suid-Afrika steeds vinniger toeneem. Die tempo van toename het toegeneem van 9 tussen 1984 en 1986 tot 35 tussen 1987 tot 1989. Die koste van robotte is ook 'n faktor wat maatskappye traag maak om robotte in hul produksielyne te implementeer. (Studer, Dibner (1988)). Die gerbuik van goedkoop veeldoelige robotte in Suid-Afrika, sal in die toekoms heelwat toeneem volgens hierdie tendense. Die koste van produksie sal ook verminder moet word sodat produkte op die internasionale mark kan kompeteer. Robotte verminder die koste van produksie d.m.v. tyd besparing, ekstra kwaliteit en kleiner ekonomiese produksie volumes volgens Holmqvist en Ostman (1988). 2012-08-27T12:26:56Z 2012-08-27T12:26:56Z 1991 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/69139 en_ZA Stellenbosch University 130 pages application/pdf Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University |
