piCOBOT® Electric for Logistics & Warehousing
Logistics and warehousing are shifting fast toward cobots, AMRs, and flexible automation. Many of these applications run far from traditional utilities, demand rapid reconfiguration, and are under pressure to cut energy use and emissions.
Industrial Robotic Arm Market Report: Emerging Opportunities and Strategic Insights
Looking ahead, the market is projected to expand substantially, with forecasts estimating a USD 45.41 billion valuation by 2035, underpinned by a 9.4 % CAGR from 2026 to 2035.
Semiconductor Sourcing for Robotics: Managing Lead Times and Component Lifecycle Risks
As robotics adoption accelerates globally, procurement and engineering teams are being forced to rethink how they manage lead times, component lifecycles, and sourcing risk within increasingly volatile semiconductor markets.
Predictions for 2026: what's next for robotics
From humanoids and Robots-as-a-Service to nearshoring and lights-out operations, here are my top predictions for what is coming next in 2026.
KPI Growth has an enemy called "Recurrence" - Fight it with Standard Work to Sustain the Growth.
Continuous Improvement is often misunderstood as an engine for solving more problems. In reality, the defining capability of a mature operation is ensuring the same problems never return.
Stefa Mini Solutions for Next-Generation Robotic Applications
The Stefa Mini, Cassette and Nano Seals all have smaller cross sections than comparable seals in the market today. This matters because a smaller seal allows for smaller glands (the area the seal slips into on the equipment) and smaller glands mean overall smaller equipment.
Robot-Driven Manufacturing Enables "Lights-Out" Production
The required solution would need to provide seamless connectivity and communication with the RoboDrill machines, as well as additional factory machinery throughout the company targeted for robotic automation moving forward.
