The future of manufacturing relies on workers and robots working safely alongside each other. Since the earliest instances of robotic automation in factories, worker safety has been a top concern in the industry. Robots not only operate at higher speeds than human workers, they also maneuver larger and heavier objects. Without...
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...
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...
Using advanced robotics for material handling in a space already occupied by automated equipment offers numerous benefits to both manufacturers and machine operators. Modern manufacturing has advanced so far in recent decades that almost every factory includes some kind of automation. As automation has become more ubiquitous, the role of human...
Medical devices are subject to strict regulations and high-quality control standards. Automation can help. The healthcare industry is among the most highly advanced manufacturing fields in the world, with tight controls and restrictions governing the development and production of medical devices at every stage. At the same time, researchers and developers...
The high costs of manufacturing automation have long been prohibitive for HMLV manufacturers. Robots are changing that. For years, factory automation has delivered the highest ROI margins for large, high-volume manufacturers. For a production plant churning out thousands of parts a day, even the most marginal improvements will have an outsized...
