“Lean Robotics†Method Empowers Manufacturers to Deploy Robots Faster Than Ever Before
Robotics insider releases book to guide factories in their automation projects
The keys to success are detailed in a book by robotics expert Samuel Bouchard. He answers the following questions: "If you're a first-time robot user, how can you get started? How do you get from your initial idea to a productive, working robot? If youve already got a few robotic deployments under your belt, how can you scale up your robotics efforts throughout your factory-or across multiple factories?"
With lean robotics, manufacturers take control of their robot cell deployment projects. They learn how to design, integrate, and operate robotic cells as efficiently as possible on their factory floor. The step-by-step guidelines detail how to deploy robots while taking every factorys unique context into account. Best practices from the field also keep the user aligned with the principles of lean manufacturing, including waste reduction and scaling techniques.
Lean robotics redefines robots as tools for humans to use. The methodology focuses on the output of a robotic cell, which helps the user eliminate waste across the whole deployment cycle. Lean robotics also details the technical skills that should be built and leveraged in order to continuously optimize the factorys robotic operations.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
