The latest developments in industrial robotics and automation — AI integration, collaborative robots, market trends and the future of smart manufacturing.
Pick and place activities are prevalent in most robotic applications, both in industry (machine care, assembly or palletizing / depalletizing), as well as service sectors. These autonomous procedures are, therefore, more than consolidated in specific organized contexts and with certain types of components. When components with high variability or in less situations must be handled, … Read more
South Africa’s food and beverage (F&B) industry has never seen the future more uncertain as the consequences of Covid-19 have changed the consumption habits of changing consumers and retailers, supply networks have been halted along with analysis on food safety. They have been struggling to keep up with mega-trends like digitization and the evolution of … Read more
A growing trend for robotic work cells is 3D machine vision. This technology allows the robot to detect the position, size, depth, and color of objects. Sectors such as logistics, food processing, life sciences, and production are finding ways to modify their processes using visual components.The ultimate goal is to to launch automated systems with … Read more
Artificial Intelligence (AI) makes it possible for machines to learn from past experiences and stimuli. It has created robots and machines currently capable of participating in numerous fields. This contribution has been considered of great importance to mankind. As technology advances, researchers are developing new and better forms of AI that can be easier and … Read more
Studios Jason Bruges offers unique visuals and performances based on various sports, including swimming, shooting, sprinting, and skating. ABB industrial robots that once worked in a BMW factory have been repurposed as main elements of a new work of art inspired by the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics. The large-scale installation, created by London-based firm Jason … Read more
Veo Robotics FreeMove system receives ISO 13849 safety certification from TÜV Rheinland. With the rise of collaborative robots (cobots) in the last decade, it seemed that the artificial intelligence trade would split into 2 divisions: one for the high-speed industrial robots we all know and one for cobots. Some robotic technology vendors would, of course, … Read more
Because the world demands more manufactured products that are high-quality, reliable, and provide more customization, change is necessary. With Commerce 4.0, the next step in automation and mechanization can evoke much smarter ways of doing business, particularly in production and manufacturing. During a digitally reshaped world that provides greater efficiencies and improved style and quality, … Read more
The credibility of 25% more payload of the UR10e synergic robot has a critical impact for palletizing applications. Universal Robots supplies its new improved UR10e with a higher payload break point of 12.5 kg, which means additional freedoms for applications such as palletizing, machine loading and packaging. However, the cost of this vital industrial robot … Read more
