In today's industrial context, process automation has become a key strategy to improve efficiency and productivity. This study justifies the acquisition of a dot peen machine to optimize the plate engraving process in the Weir Minerals assembly area. Through a detailed analysis of the production indicators, a study of times and movements and a comparison between the current manual process and automation with the dot peen machine, the improvements in terms of efficiency, accuracy and costs were evaluated. The results obtained show that the implementation of this technology significantly reduces waste, optimizes delivery times and improves product quality by minimizing the need for rework. Finally, a cost-benefit analysis supports the viability of the investment, providing a solid basis for decision-making in the company.
