Co-Learning of Task and Sensor Placement for Soft Robotics
Deep-learning technique optimizes the arrangement of sensors on a robot's body to ensure efficient operation.
Speed Reducers & Proper Shaft Alignment for Motion Control Applications
While alignment may be within acceptable tolerances during installation, deflection due to loads and thermal expansion or contraction may lead to misalignment. The use of an appropriate flexible coupler can compensate for such minor variations in alignment.
Case Study: Grippers from Zimmer Group Automate a Cleaning Machine for Sterile Glass Vials
The introduction of modern automation technology into the sensitive production areas of pharmaceutical and medical technology was rapid. However, the conditions for the entry of systems, components and robots into this sector are anything but easy to meet.
Redefining Communications for Today's Mobile Workforces
The entire face of team communications has changed, escalating the need for alternate ways to communicate with the growing mobile workforce. Internal and external communications are merging as businesses strive to reconnect with disconnected teams off-site.
Boston Dynamics Unveils New Robot for Warehouse Automation
Stretch's mobile base allows it to go to where repetitive box lifting is required - unloading trucks, building pallets of boxes and order building. Stretch makes warehouse operations more efficient and safer for workers.
5 Considerations for Deploying Industrial Robotics
Not every deployment of new robots goes smoothly. There are significant challenges to adopting any new technology, and the complexity of cutting-edge robotics means there is serious room for error when deploying industrial robots
COVID-19 and Robotics: How the Past Year Transformed Automation
As life drastically changed and businesses were forced to operate in new ways, robots were not only leveraged to adapt to current circumstances, but to prepare for those to come.
Automated Monitoring and Control for Water Purification and Storage System
With funding from the Tennessee Valley Authority, Watt Bar Utility District (WBUD) needed to streamline automation of its 32 tank and pump stations. System integrator Quality Controls LLC decided to use PLC, HMI, and SCADA products from CIMON to automate these facilities.
Motor Commutation: FOC vs. FEC
There are many commutation schemes, many of which have hardware implications. Right now, we'll take a look at Field Oriented Control (a well-established method of commutation) and Field Estimated Control (IQ's new method of commutation).
Robot HMI for Projects Automation
To customize a robot interface, the only thing required is the robot HMI. However, there is a wide array of HMIs that differ from each other based on several factors. The challenge is to determine which is the best HMI.
Growth in the Automation of Distribution and Fulfillment Industry
Many production areas are already extremely short on space, so having a design that allows for streamlined goods-to-person capability is a game-changer. These benefits are combined with our best-in-class energy consumption.
AGV Robotization: The Solution
Businesses which have invested in robotics quickly realize the impact of increased productivity and continue investing. There is no "turn back syndrome" for these solutions; the increases in competitiveness and quality push businesses to adopt a continuous robotics policy.
Shortening Sales Cycles; A Top Priority for Manufacturers
Trade publications offer significant benefits for manufacturers in need of boosting inbound leads and sales, fast.
How AI is Changing the Future of Supply Chain Costs
AI brings efficiency through big data analytics and performance insights on an unprecedented scale. With this power, AI is advancing supply chains for a cleaner, more cost-effective future. Preparing for this future starts with understanding AI implementation in the present.
Edge Roller Technology (ERT®250) Conveyor
The system uses rollers to move pallets smoothly, without 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.
