Industrial recycling is undergoing a quiet but profound transformation. Until recently, the separation and processing of materials largely relied on traditional manual or mechanical methods. Today, thanks to robotics, these tasks are becoming automated, increasing efficiency and reducing workplace risks. What is truly innovative, however, is that much of this automation is being achieved using
In the era of accelerated automation, many factories face the same dilemma: their robots work, but their control systems are outdated. The solution? Retrofitting. Modernising an obsolete industrial robot not only saves investment, it also prolongs its service life and improves its performance at a much lower cost than a new machine. What is robotic
In today’s industrial landscape, the demand for safer, more versatile, and easily integrable solutions has driven the rise of collaborative robotics. Collaborative robots, or cobots, allow humans and machines to work side by side without the need for complex physical barriers, opening up new possibilities across production lines, laboratories, small businesses, and highly customized environments.
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
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
Collaborative robots like the UR10 are reshaping industrial painting in remarkable ways. One standout example is Brandt A/S, a Danish company with over 60 years of experience. In October 2024, the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) released a study highlighting how integrating UR10 cobots in finishing operations has enhanced precision, consistency, and efficiency across the
