According to Automation World’s recent robotics adoption survey, some vertical industries saw a significant increase in investment in robotics due to the need to socially distance, reorient supply chains and increase throughput, and others saw investment paralysis. As demand for their products fell, their decision-making process was paralyzed by political and economic uncertainty. Despite the
There is considerable economic benefit in recent years thanks to technological advances and the implementation of artificial intelligence in robotic automation solutions. The use of robots in various industrial processes and production lines has become a topic of interest again due to the technical advances in companies and the mobility limits created by the covid
When a robot operates without a vision system, the working environment must be configured and the robot must always access a predefined location, forcing it to employ high-precision positioning systems for the things to be handled so that the robot go to the exact location. Due to the fact that vision systems allow to establish
The robots are particularly resistant to cleaning chemicals and disinfectants and can clean under high pressure thanks to their robust construction. Special rules apply to robots used in the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. The new KUKA “Hygienic Oil” (HO) product range, as well as the KUKA “Hygienic Machine” (HM) series of robots, were designed
The LR-10iA/10 mounts on the floor, upside down, or at an angle. FANUC claims that the robot can be easily installed on an automated guided vehicle or other mobile platform to perform many repetitive tasks or to automate idle machines. FANUC America, a leading provider of CNC machines, robotics and robots, has introduced the new
ABB and its two new OmniCore controller partners. The new E10 and V250XT controllers, available for a number of robots in ABB’s portfolio, expand the control capabilities of advanced robots in a wide variety of industries, from electronics assembly to automotive, logistics and construction. The E10 controller was designed to supply ABB SCARA robots and
It is not enough to use automation processes, you have to take into account several components to get the most out of it. Errors and mistakes are common when setting up automation processes in manufacturing. Now professionals debate whether these gadgets in manufacturing will create more jobs than they displace, and 52% suspect they will.
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
Several of them are based on the robot operating system, the standard open source framework for developing robotics applications. Organizations that develop and build robots must ensure that stability is a priority from the moment the robot design is conceived, and not an afterthought. Ensure stability By doing this, organizations run the risk of not
South Africa’s food and beverage (F&B) industry has never seen the future more uncertain as the consequences of Covid-19 have changed the consumption habits of changing consumers and retailers, supply networks have been halted along with analysis on food safety. They have been struggling to keep up with mega-trends like digitization and the evolution of
