FANUC and Yaskawa Motoman are two of the most widely deployed industrial robot brands in the world, and for good reason — both have decades of proven performance across automotive, food and beverage, metal fabrication, electronics, and general manufacturing. Both offer reliable, well-supported platforms with extensive model ranges covering payloads from a few kilograms to … Read more
In industrial settings, a robot’s ability to perform multiple tasks without direct human intervention is essential for maximizing efficiency. Automatic tool changers allow robotic arms to switch between different devices—such as grippers, suction cups, or welding torches—without halting production. FANUC, a leader in automation, has developed solutions that integrate this functionality to offer greater flexibility … Read more
The welding industry, long associated with high-risk environments, is undergoing a profound transformation thanks to the rise of collaborative robotics. In modern welding facilities, safety is no longer just about regulatory compliance—it has become a cornerstone of operational efficiency and worker well-being. At the heart of this shift lies the strategic deployment of collaborative robots, … Read more
UR10 cobot painting is changing how industrial finishing operations manage quality and consistency — but it has taken until recently for the approach to be practically deployable at scale. The process requires consistent tool path and speed, sensitivity to material flow and surface geometry, and — in powder coating and spray environments — the ability … Read more
Realtime Robotics, a leader in collision-free robotic motion planning, has announced two major new integrations for its Resolver platform: direct compatibility with the 3D simulation software Visual Components and with MELSOFT Gemini, Mitsubishi Electric’s simulation tool. Resolver is a cloud-based platform developed to automate the most tedious aspects of robotic cell design, such as path … Read more
In a context where labor shortages and strict hygiene demands remain persistent challenges in the food industry, automation has become a key solution. A notable example is the collaboration between Active8 Robots and KUKA, which has revolutionized the sandwich packaging process in the UK through the integration of KR AGILUS HM robots. The British sandwich … Read more
Imagine a factory that doesn’t need to be built. One that can be installed within hours and operate right where it’s needed. That’s exactly what Sojo Industries, a U.S.-based startup, is achieving. They’ve just raised $40 million to bring their mobile production lines to more companies and industries. Their goal? To transform how we think … Read more
