The manufacturing industry is prioritizing environmental, social, and governance policies more than ever before. Here’s how automation is helping. As the world grows increasingly interconnected, responsible corporate stewardship is becoming more of a priority for company leadership, investors, consumers, and workers who are seeking employment at a business that aligns with...
Simultaneous Location and Mapping (SLAM) technology is at the heart of many of the most recent advances in autonomous robotic capabilities. Well before the earliest robots were constructed, engineers, manufacturers, scientists, science fiction enthusiasts, and the public at large had envisioned them as humanoid machines capable of navigating the world much...
The last two years have been tough for chip manufacturers. The pandemic has thrown global supply chain vulnerabilities into sharp relief, and in few places has it been more visible than in the effect of chip shortages on product availability and delivery timelines. These challenges have prompted the high-tech industry to...
Advanced robotics and leading-edge software are finding creative efficiencies in storage, packaging, and distribution. Automated packaging solutions have a host of benefits for any manufacturing business. But the material handling capabilities of robotic technology and leading-edge automation software aren’t limited to packing items in containers. There’s more to getting your products...
Advanced factory automation will build on innovative technology infrastructure. Factory automation is an established practice with a history of success, essential to the manufacturing sector. Modern factories employ robotic material handlers, vision systems, machine intelligence, and more to reliably provide high-quality products. Existing automation takes full advantage of the early waves...
Additive manufacturing is achieving its potential with the help of existing automation technologies. Additive manufacturing, more commonly known as 3D printing, has the potential to be a massively disruptive technology. The ability to use a single machine to produce virtually any design seems, at first glance, fundamentally incompatible with traditional large-scale...
The logistics industry is an ideal application for increased use of autonomous systems. The past two years of the Covid-19 pandemic have had a profound impact across every part of society, often in unexpected ways. In particular, the pandemic exposed weaknesses in supply chain infrastructures that are still being felt today....
Automating last-mile delivery can help the transportation industry overcome the final hurdle. Businesses around the globe pour seemingly endless amounts of energy into optimizing their supply chains, from sourcing and production to order fulfillment. The irony is that, after all this work, the final mile can be logistically the most difficult...
Factory automation can reduce employee injury by eliminating many of the highest risk scenarios. Every good business owner understands the importance of avoiding injuries among the workforce almost without being told, but preventing them isn’t always a simple task. Some jobs are necessarily more dangerous than others, and even work that...
Robots can engage in multiple functions at a time, allowing for versatile and cost-saving applications. For many years, manufacturing automation has focused on hard-coded systems, where components were moved through a series of stations, each with its own specialized task. Each machine performed a very specific sequence of movements designed to...
