| Disadvantages of manual production | Advantages of automated production |
| This workstation includes two processes: pasting PP strips and cutting off the remaining materials, which require the cooperation of two people. It is easy to burn the hands, so workers are reluctant to operate it. It is easy to waste PP strip materials. It requires high skills from workers and has a high defect rate. It is labor-intensive and highly dependent on people. Two people produce one piece in 30 seconds. | The automated equipment only needs one person to put in and change materials, and can easily produce; it does not rely on the workers' skills, and can be put into work after a little training; there is no waste of materials, and there are very few defective products; it can produce 24 hours a day; 8 seconds to 15 seconds to produce one piece |
| Calculated at the fastest speed: 2 people operate, 2 pieces are produced in 1 minute, 120 pieces are produced in 1 hour, 1440 pieces are produced in 12 hours a day, and 43,200 pieces are produced in 1 month; on average one person produces 21,600 pieces, and 5 people produce 108,000 pieces per month. | Calculated at normal speed: 1 person operates, 5 pieces are produced in 1 minute, 300 pieces are produced in 1 hour, 36,000 pieces are produced in 12 hours a day , and 108,000 pieces are produced in 1 month. |
| All uncontrollable factors are ignored here, including but not limited to drinking water/going to the bathroom/slacking off/playing with mobile phones/taking leave, etc. |
| Conclusion: With automation, only one person can easily achieve the output of five people, increasing production capacity by at least five times and reducing losses by more than 50%. |
