It’s a question that rarely appears at the beginning of a project. It usually comes after the first success: The cell works. Cycle times are stable. Quality is consistent. And for the first time, the team trusts the system. Then someone asks: “What if we double production?” It’s not an innocent question — it’s a
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:
Imagine a factory that doesn’t need to be built. One that can be installed within hours and operate right where it’s needed. That’s exactly what Sojo Industries, a U.S.-based startup, is achieving. They’ve just raised $40 million to bring their mobile production lines to more companies and industries. Their goal? To transform how we think
For the launch of its first LightSpray™ plant in Zurich, On partnered with ABB Robotics—a Swiss company renowned for its leadership in industrial automation. ABB developed a robotic arm specifically for this project, designed to fabricate the uppers of On’s footwear. While the exact model hasn’t been disclosed, it’s likely a six- or seven-axis robot,
In a world where automation is advancing at an unprecedented pace, the demand for specialized robotic solutions has evolved from a trend into an industrial necessity. Within this context, the FANUC SR-12iA/C robot emerges as a central figure—not only for its power and precision, but also for its ability to operate in environments where cleanliness
