When a robot operates without a vision system, the working environment must be configured and the robot must always access a predefined location, forcing it to employ high-precision positioning systems for the things to be handled so that the robot go to the exact location. Due to the fact that vision systems allow to establish
The robots are particularly resistant to cleaning chemicals and disinfectants and can clean under high pressure thanks to their robust construction. Special rules apply to robots used in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. The new KUKA “Hygienic Oil” (HO) product range, as well as the KUKA “Hygienic Machine” (HM) series of robots, were designed
Mr Eric Potter, the Managing Director of FANUC Automation, comments on energy efficiency with industrial robots. Interest in and concern about the energy consumption of robots varies from area to area, mostly based on local energy prices, but energy efficiency is a case-by-case issue. When it comes to impacts on nature, there are benefits to
It is not enough to use automation processes, you have to take into account several components to get the most out of it. Errors and mistakes are common when setting up automation processes in manufacturing. Now professionals debate whether these gadgets in manufacturing will create more jobs than they displace, and 52% suspect they will.
Manufacturers are not fully aware of the possibilities and benefits that the Internet of Things (IoT) can offer. According to a report by consulting firm Sikich, 30 percent of manufacturers fail to understand the IoT at all. However, their lack of understanding has not prevented them from making the Internet of Things a priority in
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
Greater efficiency, greater profitability and greater flexibility: there are several advantages that are attributed to the automation of robotic methods within the plastics industry, which ultimately contributes to the optimization of the process. For midsize plastics processing companies, automating the production process gives them an edge over their competitors, whether it’s operating injection molding machines
The human being is curious and from here stems the need to know how things work, how things are done, what they’re used for, how we use them, where technology benefits us. Today we live in a world where the use of technologies has become mandatory for different environments. This technology seeks to simplify
The fourth industrial revolution is approaching and is a subject of concern to many entrepreneurs, especially Latin Americans. This type of revolution will cause such an impact that companies that are not currently branching out into new technologies and innovating their production lines may disappear in the medium-turn, and there is a great deal of
