Assessment of Industrial Robots Selection in Manufacturing Industries Using the EDAS Method

Abstract

Robots commonly utilized in manufacturing applications in industries are referred to as industrial robots. Robots are used to execute repetitive, difficult, and dangerous tasks with greater precision, accuracy, and speed. The main reason why businesses use industrial robots is to increase manufacturing productivity and reduce operational expenses. The choice of an appropriate robot necessitates careful consideration of their needs. An inappropriate robot could eventually hurt a company's ability to compete in the market. A commercial robot has several different characteristics, including mechanical weight, payload capacity, repeatability, etc. It is an MCDM challenge because of these parameters. The EDAS approach, a relatively new and mathematically powerful tool of MCDM (Multi-Criteria Decision Making), has been employed in this research.Here Industrial Robot1 (IR1) is ranked fifth, Industrial Robot2 (IR2) is ranked second, Industrial Robot3 (IR3) is first ranked, Industrial Robot4 (IR4) is fourthranked, Industrial Robot5 (IR5) is ranked seventh, Industrial Robot6 (IR6) is sixthranked and Industrial Robot7 (IR7) is ranked third. The result of this paper shows the best robot for industrial purposes is industrial robot 3 and industrial robot 2 and followed by industrial robot.
