Abstract

Industrial manufacturing constantly evolves to help manufacturers meet growing customer demand and remain competitive in the global marketplace. Robotic applications in manufacturing produce more protection, quality and sustainability for businesses. Many manufacturing processes in the industry have been facilitated by smart robots working with great precision and speed. This study aimed to solve a manufacturing company's robot evaluation and selection problem. Another purpose is to determine the importance of robot selection criteria for this business. The company is a large-scale company that manufactures metal kitchenware in Kahramanmaraş. This company wants to replace its machine with a smart robot and invest in a more functional one. However, since the investment in smart robots is a high-cost and financially and morally expensive investment, it is difficult to decide between the options. At this point, the study's main purpose is to support the business in the selection decision. In the study, SWARA and fuzzy TOPSIS methods, which are multi-criteria decision-making methods, were integrated and used. There are three alternative smart robots that the firm wants to choose from. As a result of the analysis, one of these alternatives was suggested as the best choice for the firm.
