In the age of automation, collaborative robots—commonly known as “cobots”—have become indispensable allies in the industrial sector. Among the leading innovators in this field is FANUC, a global pioneer in robotic solutions. The company has developed a specialized range of cobots tailored for stacking and palletizing tasks, revolutionizing industrial workflows and significantly enhancing operational efficiency.
At the recent edition of the Schweissen & Schneiden trade fair in Essen, Germany, Fronius made a lasting impression by presenting a range of solutions that not only boost efficiency and sustainability in welding but also democratize access to advanced technologies for companies of all sizes. Under the motto “Unleash your welding potential,” the Austrian
In a world where efficiency and competitiveness are essential, industrial automation emerges as a key tool for transforming productivity. However, in countries like the United Kingdom, the adoption of robotic technologies still faces significant challenges. According to recent data from the International Federation of Robotics, the UK ranks 23rd globally in robot density, with only
Industrial Automation: Overcoming Challenges for SMEs with the OPERA Project Industrial automation has been a cornerstone in the evolution of modern manufacturing. However, its effective implementation in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) has faced significant challenges, such as the complexity of programming and system integration. The OPERA project, led by KUKA in collaboration with the
Industrial Automation: A Leap Forward with FANUC’s SCARA SR-12iA/CIndustrial automation has experienced exponential growth driven by the need for efficiency, traceability, and consistency in production processes. In sectors where cleanliness and hygiene are critical—such as food, pharmaceutical, or semiconductor industries—conventional robots often fail to meet the required standards. In this context, FANUC has introduced a
The Yaskawa HC series collaborative robots are designed to work alongside operators without the need for safety fences, provided a proper risk assessment is conducted. This is made possible by technologies such as Power and Force Limiting (PFL), which automatically stops the robot upon detecting contact with a person or object, minimizing the risk of
Driven by a market that demands competitiveness, solidity, and speed, the automation industry is advancing rapidly. This progress necessitates the implementation of programmable automatic manipulators. Eurobots, one of the leading companies in the sale and distribution of new and refurbished industrial robots, offers innovative solutions for the welding and light manufacturing sectors, such as the
Valvoline, a multinational company specializing in the production and marketing of lubricating oils and automotive products, implemented an automation solution at its plant in Dordrecht, Netherlands. The automation focused on the oil bottle packaging line, a critical process in its operation. The Valvoline plant faced challenges in handling small product batches, as its main packaging
In the growing demand for automation systems that combine strength, reach, and high-level control, Fanuc continues to consolidate its leadership with versatile and robust solutions.
