Some projects never fail: Because they never start! They live in a permanent state of improvement. Every week, the system becomes a little better than before—slightly more precise, a bit more elegant. There’s always something to tweak, something to polish, something that “before we start real production” should be optimized. The robot moves. The simulation
There’s an awkward moment in some automation projects when no one really wants to look too closely at the first batches. The parts come out quickly. The robot never stops. Productivity indicators look great. And yet… something feels off. The defect that used to appear sporadically now shows up with impeccable regularity. There’s no debate:
In today’s industrial landscape, where efficiency and precision are essential, automating finishing processes has become a crucial strategy to address contemporary challenges. Here, we explore the reasons why now is an excellent time to automate your finishing process, as highlighted by FANUC America. Labor Shortage and Consistency Automation is an effective solution to labor shortages,
Companies must allocate funds for a risk assessment to ensure compliance with RIA safety regulations, as industrial robotic technologies are a costly investment. The cost of safety precautions suggested in a risk assessment can exceed $15,000 for a robot costing between $50,000 and $60,000. Omitting safety jeopardises workers’ lives, legal liabilities, insurance and shutdowns. Many

An industrial pick-and-place robot is used to handle and place products on a production line. They are typically used in high-volume manufacturing environments where they can quickly and accurately load products onto conveyor belts or other production tools. This may involve actions such as removing products from one machine and placing them on the conveyor
