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 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...
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...
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...
As factory automation begins to incorporate augmented reality into its processes, what should industrial manufacturers expect? Of all the new Industry 4.0 technologies, Augmented Reality is the one that, to many people, seems the most surprising. AR devices are often worn like glasses upon which software can project images or instructions...
As grippers become more flexible, adaptable, and interchangeable, their applications in factory automation multiply. Factory automation has changed drastically in the past few decades, most notably in the realm of robotics, where new software technology has combined with advances in hardware capabilities to give manufacturers a wider toolset to use when...
