When it comes to the resources for automation you will need the product details, how the products delivered and what the process to assemble the products. The second step would involve a business case. The important thing to keep in mind is to have a clear end goal for what you are trying to accomplish. Identify what your needs and wants are for the design. Automation requires a specific product plan that includes an in-depth design for automation. When you are looking at the product with the goal to automate the product, also think about that parts that are unique. There is always a unique element to automation. There are two levels of uniqueness. The first level of a unique part would include parts that are commercially available. The second level of uniqueness is parts that require custom design.
