In New York City you can find skyscrapers that would provide you with an incredible view, and you could also find one of the most dangerous jobs performed by humans, that of cleaning windows at a great height. And what if a robot could perform this task? Well, Ozmo, a high-rise window cleaning robot, will
Small organizations will benefit the most from increased automation in construction, concludes FANUC, whose week-long open house attended by more than 1,000 experts revealed a sequence of emerging trends that the UK should adopt to produce an increase in 2022. Tom Bouchier, Managing Director of FANUC Unified Kingdom, said: IIoT has been around for several
When choosing a robotic welding system, manufacturers need to consider several components: WHAT ARE THE COSTS AND WHAT IS THE PROFITABILITY OF MY INVESTMENT? Today, most industries use modern welding technologies to take advantage of their advanced properties and versatility. Automated systems, such as orbital welding, have become a primary alternative in welding. They result
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,
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
Hirebotics’ Cobot Welder is the new system for programming via the Beacon smartphone app, eliminating the requirement for programming skills. In addition, it includes the UR10e collaborative robot from Universal Robots. Welding is often considered a labor-intensive tack and lock technique found in many discrete manufacturing assembly activities. While many components of welding are still
An advisory committee at the Manufacturing Automation and Robotics Summit 2019, discussed typical topics associated with automation installations and how companies can master them. UK manufacturing companies are forced to adapt to the confluence of major trends in labor supply, consolidation of the supply chain and optimization of the balance between quality and cost, a
The 13-position tool changer in pre-machining KUKA cell4 gives foundries more time and flexibility. In deburring, sawing, edging or grinding, the continuous collaboration between the robot, the actuator and the motorized spindle minimizes the number of important manual jobs. One build cell, variety of options – KUKA cell4 pre-machining was designed for the manufacturing industry
With a focus on flexibility, modularity and ease of use, KUKA AI North American nation presented various innovative automation technologies and solutions at the Canadian producing Technology Show 2021, as well as container selection and machine care. Fair attendees enjoyed innovations such as KR AGILUS 6-axis compact robots, KR C5 small robot controller, ready2_educate mobile
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
