Tiivistelmä
The main focus of this thesis was to identify problem areas in the current work process of the food production line at Tekme department of Kanta- Hämen central hospital in Hämenlinna and to find possible ways to increase cost efficiency striving towards impeccable work by applying innovation technologies.
The theoretical basis for this thesis consisted of information collected through visiting and observing the company and through personal conversations with the development manager, Nina Leino, as well as through studying and analyzing the documentation provided by her. Based on the collected information it became possible to write a detailed description of the current situation in the work process, to identify problem areas and to come up with goals, which should be achieved for an improvement of the production line
In the process, special attention was paid to solving the problem by using automation technology, such as robots, because the numbers prove that robotic systems are exponentially being incorporated into industry. This brings incredible flexibility, productivity and economic efficiency to the industry.
The outcome of the research work were several solutions with a detailed explanation of the advantages and disadvantages of each option and their approximately estimated costs.
