For products in the consumer, parts, food & beverage, and print & packaging markets, a significant portion of the manufacturing process still relies on manual tasks performed by human operators.
Bin-picking, random picking, pick and place, pick and drop, palletization, depalletization, these are all part of the same project. You want a fully automated process that grabs the desired sample from one position and moves it somewhere else.
Whether a company is producing automotive brake systems, display screens, refrigerators
or ventilators for ICUs, manufacturers need efficient throughput combined with high levels of
automated tracking and process control. The goal: assembly processes that are as close to
error-free as possible.
Wöhner GmbH & Co. KG, a manufacturer of energy distribution, control technology and renewable energy solutions, assembles up to 40,000 fuse holders in up to 94 varieties every day with the ActiveMover Transport System. Download the case study.
More and more frequently, designing, engineering and commissioning automation systems means one thing: software development. In some machines, software accounts for over 50 percent of value creation. Software determines the flexibility, connectivity, availability and ease of operation of machines and systems.
Lean integrators are leveling the playing field for SMEs in highly innovative and cost-effective ways.
June 8, 2020
This white paper discusses how developments in robotics technology has led to a rise in lean integrators, whose unique structures and focused areas of expertise are critical to delivering automation benefits through collaborative robots for small to medium enterprises (SMEs).
On Demand Automation technologies have progressed to the point where the majority of manufacturing businesses have multiple processes that are ready for robotic automation. But with so many business challenges driving automation, and so many different components, tools, and robot models contributing to automated systems, how can businesses prioritize what processes to automate first?
On Demand Packaging professionals are increasingly turning to palletizing automation to sustain productivity during labor shortages. Collaborative palletizing systems feature small footprints and fast implementation, which help to remove bottlenecks and mitigate ergonomic issues for workers – but where should businesses look to get started?
On Demand What capital equipment will assemblers buy next year and how much money will they spend on it? Will manufacturers continue to invest in people, plants and equipment? Or is the U.S. headed for a recession? John Sprovieri, Chief Editor of ASSEMBLY, will answer these questions and more as he reports on the findings of ASSEMBLY magazine’s 26th annual capital equipment spending survey.
On Demand Collaborative robots, or cobots, are the fastest-growing segment of the factory automation world. In this webinar, application experts at market leader Universal Robots have assembled a set of guidelines and checklists to help companies large and small identify promising applications, and get started with collaborative robots.
On Demand Join Ernst Neumayr, Channel Development Manager from Universal Robots, and Jeremy Crockett, Business Manager for Automation from Atlas Copco, and discover how cobots can build your business and increase productivity in your manufacturing facility – without multiplying the complexity of your processes!
On Demand Join this webinar to hear from Jody Gant, Customer Success Manager from Universal Robots. This cobot expert will cover the basics of what it takes to make sure that your deployment exceeds both your strategic and operational goals.
