By replacing manual CNC processes with the RB series cobots, the company has increased productivity by 40 to 50 percent. This has enabled the company to respond more effectively to client demands, which have increased two to three times since the recent semiconductor boom.
Labor shortages, demand fluctuations, and tighter budgets have more companies looking to automation to safeguard operations from this variability. However, human workers play a vital part in keeping order fulfillment cycle times low.
Whilst uptake in smaller manufacturing firms has been slower, those within the sector are slowly starting to see the value that digital twin technology can bring, no matter the size of the business.
Industrial robotics leader and renewable energy leader team up to develop robotics aimed at improving worker safety and solving labor shortages
Isaac AMR brings advanced mapping, autonomy and simulation to mobile robots and will soon be available for early customers, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang announced during his keynote address at the COMPUTEX technology conference in Taipei.
Implementing robotics in food processing has historically been challenging, thanks to product irregularity and delicate handling needs. Now that robots have become more precise and adaptive, that automation gap is closing.
The Kitchen Robotics company Cloud receives the customer orders via website or app, and sends the appropriate commands to the UniStream PLC, using an API that implements a dedicated TCP/IP protocol written in UniLogic, Unitronics all-in-one development software.
Simbe, the company behind the world’s first autonomous shelf-scanning retail robot and the industry’s most comprehensive business intelligence solution, will use the funds to accelerate global expansion and product innovation
Eventually, automation will reduce human labor in manufacturing processes to a point where human workers won't have to do anything other than provide oversight, possibly through a human-machine interface (HMI).
Chipotle has unveiled a new avocado processing cobotic (collaborative robot) prototype called Autocado that cuts, cores, and peels avocados before they are hand mashed to create the restaurant's signature guacamole.
Although at present robotic automation forms only a small part of warehouse spending it is predicted that it could grow from $3.6bn in 2021 to $18bn in 2025. As technology and AI’s improve, automation systems will grow even faster.
