Automate REWIND Brings Back the Best of Automate 2022

Starting today, watch—or re-watch—keynotes, theater sessions, exhibitor spotlights and Automate LIVE interviews from North America’s largest robotics and automation trade show

ANN ARBOR, Michigan - August 9, 2022. Automate REWIND launches today, a digital library of content featuring Automate 2022 keynotes, theater talks, Automate LIVE interviews, exhibitor spotlights, and more. Through October 31, anyone can revisit the trends, best practices, and industry insights covering topics from North America's largest robotics and automation trade show.


Starting November 1, all content will be available exclusively to members of the Association for Advancing Automation (A3), the organizer of Automate and the leading global advocate for the benefits of automating.

Automate 2022 took place in Detroit this June, returning in-person for this first time since 2019. The biggest show to date, Automate hosted more than 24,000 registrants, 600 exhibitor booths, nearly 200 expert speakers from many of the biggest name in the industry, and more than 2 million virtual views of its digital content.

"Our record-breaking show featured amazing industry leaders sharing their expertise on the latest technologies, trends, and solutions - while also focusing on addressing the ongoing labor shortages," said Robert Huschka, A3's vice president of Education Strategies. "It's impossible for attendees to catch every keynote or educational session during such a busy show, and we know many folks weren't able to attend in-person. That's why we've put together Automate REWIND—giving everyone the chance to watch this incredibly valuable content that keeps people returning to Automate time and time again."

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

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.
