The final goal of this study is to secure production efficiency and quality stability by applying simple automation to the dental implant packaging process, and based on this, it is possible to switch to full automation in the future. Design and build a simple automation system centering on core processes with high repeatability and manual weight during the packaging process, and secure empirical data to verify the effectiveness of applying automation. Through this, the key is to realize effects such as improvement of process speed, minimization of manpower input, and cost reduction, and to establish a technical and operational foundation to enable full automation construction by expanding the modularized automation system in the long run. In other words, this study aims to realize a step-by-step automation strategy through the application of realistic simple automation technology and to design a structural system that can be linked to full automation.
