Universal Robots has taken a decisive step toward advanced manufacturing with the launch of the UR8 Long—a collaborative robot built for demanding industrial tasks. Unveiled at the FABTECH trade show in Chicago and set to enter production lines this October, the UR8 Long combines an extended reach of 1,750 mm and an 8 kg payload
In many factories, space is as valuable a resource as time or labor. Poor layout and inefficient use of space can lead to bottlenecks, downtime, and increased costs. In this context, ABB’s robotic arms have become a strategic tool for maximizing floor space, enabling production lines that are more compact, safer, and more efficient. Thanks
Industry 4.0 demands increasingly specialized and efficient solutions, especially in critical environments like cleanrooms. In this context, KUKA Robotics has taken a significant leap forward with its latest innovation: the KMR iisy CR. This autonomous mobile robot (AMR) not only sets new standards in all-terrain robotics but also redefines automation in ultra-clean environments such as
Depalletization, the process of removing products from a pallet, is a fundamental task in logistics and manufacturing. For years, this work has been labor-intensive, repetitive, and physically demanding, making it prone to human error and injury. However, with the advancement of industrial robotics and computer vision, the question of whether to automate depalletization has become
In a world where time is gold and efficiency even more so, companies are seeking automated solutions that go beyond functionality — they must be intelligent, flexible, and scalable. Within this landscape, URT, a specialist in industrial robotics and automation, introduces one of its most promising technological gems: the YOUIBOT P200, an autonomous mobile robot
At the forefront of both traditional and Industry 4.0 robotics, a breakthrough innovation is set to transform hygiene standards in food processing plants.
