The Manufacturing Executive's New Shield: Closing the Records Liability Gap
Regulators are no longer content to penalize the company name on the factory gate; they are naming the specific executives who run the manufacturing floor.
DESTACO eRDH Electric Parallel Gripper
The eRDH stands out because it combines that rugged, workhorse durability DESTACO is known for with high-end, intelligent motor control and diagnostic feedback. It gives you the brains you need without sacrificing the brawn.
How advanced automation is shaping the future of medical device production
Here, Nigel Smith, CEO of TM Robotics, explains why harnessing the power of robotics-led injection moulding could significantly enhance the production of medical devices.
How Drone-Based Construction Progress Monitoring Is Driving Smarter Industrial Workflows
The ultimate goal of drone-based monitoring is transparency. When everyone—from the site foreman to the remote investor—looks at the same high-resolution digital twin, the "guesswork" of construction vanishes.
From Forklifts to Laser Guided Vehicles — The Operational Shift in High-Volume Manufacturing
Forklifts are highly flexible, but they're also dependent on operator skill, shift conditions, fatigue, and congestion. LGVs introduce repeatability into material flow, which is something manufacturing systems desperately need as volumes rise and tolerances tighten.
The Rationale for Persistent Infrastructure Identity in Manufacturing and Robotics

Cobots share workspace with human operators under carefully engineered safety boundaries. Every one of these systems was specified, integrated, commissioned, and validated against a detailed record. Within a few ownership cycles, most of that record is effectively gone.
KNF Introduces Intelligent Pump Features for Flow, Pressure and Vacuum Control and Versatile Dosing
The pumps can operate autonomously or can be controlled via analog signals such as control voltage. For use in complex systems, the pumps also support modern communication protocols like UART, enabling seamless integration into smart environments.
Revolutionizing Cheese Production with AI and Machine Vision: A Success Story from Eberle Automatische Systeme
The food industry is experiencing a transformative shift in quality control, due in part to advances in artificial intelligence (AI). When combined with rule-based machine vision, AI is enabling automation of processes that were previously impossible.
Advantages of Pre-assembled Conveyor Modules
Ultimately, pre-assembly supports tighter project schedules and helps integrators deliver consistent results across geographically distributed deployments.
When Machines Learn to See Like Experts: The Rise of Vision Language Models in Manufacturing

VLMs will not resolve every challenge in manufacturing AI. But for quality assurance in high-complexity production environments, they offer a capability step-change that no other current technology matches.
Product Q&A with Ambi Robotics - AmbiVision
AmbiVision was born out of the development of Ambi Robotics' robotic stacking system, AmbiStack, and leverages the same AI skills that power the robot's ability to perceive and interact with packages.
The Perfect Marriage: How CNC Solutions Turned ENCY, a Stäubli Robot, and a Beckhoff Controller into a Product
On paper, a robot is just a set of joints and motors. On a production floor, however, it becomes something entirely different.
7 Key Engineering Hurdles in Building High Precision Gantry Systems for Automation
Multi-axis gantry platforms are central to high-throughput automation in fields like semiconductor inspection, laser processing, and advanced metrology. Yet, the difficulty of making them precise, reliable, and production-ready is often underestimated.
How AMRs Can Empower Employees and Create New Jobs
Autonomous mobile robots already have a widespread area of functionality, they are still a fairly new technology. And, as it is with every new, innovative, and "unusual" technology, there's this crippling fear that because of it a lot of people will lose their jobs.

US Digital's New L2 Low Profile Motor Encoder
The L2 incremental encoder uses US Digital's proven EM1 optical encoder module and disk, which has billions of device-hours of dependable service in customer applications. This product continues US Digital's strong reputation for reliable, field-tested encoders. The L2 is US Digital's lowest height encoder that uses the EM1 module. It has a 0.75 in. bolt-spacing mount. The maximum resolution is 1250 CPR (5000 PPR with quadrature). The L2 comes with a single-ended output. Another benefit of the L2 incremental encoder is its fast installation. The cover snaps onto the base to secure the module. It is designed for use with a high-retention connector or cable (sold separately). Like all US Digital products, the L2 is designed and manufactured in Vancouver, Washington, USA. It is backed by prompt access to our technical and customer service teams with same-day shipping on most orders.
