2016 RBR50 Nominations Now Open

THE MOST INFLUENTIAL COMPANIES IN THE GLOBAL ROBOTICS INDUSTRY

FRAMINGHAM, Mass., Dec. 15, 2015 -- The worldwide robotics market is more competitive than ever. New companies are popping up all the time. Which are the best in the world? Who should you keep on your business radar? The fifth annual RBR50 is searching the globe for the top 50 robotics companies to follow in 2016. Nominations are being accepted now through January 31, 2016.


The Robotics Business Review (RBR) editorial team selects the RBR50 from nominees around the world based on factors such as innovation, groundbreaking application, commercial success and commercial potential with an eye towards representing many different levels and facets of the robotics industry ecosystem. Big and small, private and public, these are the companies to watch as they push the future of robotics ahead!

The benefits of making it onto the RBR50 are many. Members are tracked throughout the year and RBR monitors how the marketplace views their progress, what analysts, partners or customers are reporting, and how their technology is seen by fellow roboticists and others in the high-tech and business communities. This creates a one-stop shop for reporting on their partnerships, product pipelines and business growth to keep readers informed on where each company stands in the market and why. "We organized this program to help our audience identify key companies developing robots, and highlight those who may be innovators flying under the radar," says Casey Nobile, Robotics Trends Media Manager.

To nominate your own company for the RBR50, please visit www.RoboticsBusinessReview.com. To simply nominate a company you think should make the list, please email RBR Senior Editor Eugene Demaitre with the company name, URL and any company contact information you can share. Entries must be received by the January 31 deadline. Nominations will weigh heavily in the development of the final top 50 list, which will be announced February 22, 2016.

The ERT150 - Dorner’s Next Evolution of Edge Roller Technology Conveyors

The ERT150 - Dorner's Next Evolution of Edge Roller Technology Conveyors

The next evolution in Dorner's Edge Roller Technology conveyor platform, the ERT®150, is ideal for small and light-load assembly automation, as well as medical and medical-device assembly application. The ERT platform is the only pallet conveyor of its kind available with an ISO Standard Class 4 rating for cleanroom applications. Earning the ISO Standard 14644-1 Class 4 rating means Dorner's ERT150 will conform and not contribute to the contamination of cleanrooms to those standards. As implied by its name, the ERT150 (Edge Roller Technology) uses rollers to move pallets through the conveyor smoothly with no friction (a byproduct often seen in belt-driven platforms). The conveyor's open design eliminates concerns of small parts or screws dropping into rollers and causing conveyor damage or jamming. The ERT150 is suited to operate in cleanroom environments requiring a pallet handling conveyor. It is capable of zoning for no or low-back pressure accumulation and is ideal for automation assembly applications within industries including medical devices, electronics, consumer goods among others.
