Why Industrial Robotics is Experiencing Steady Growth
The World Robotics 2021 Industrial Robots report shows a record of 3 million industrial robots operating worldwide - an impressive 10% increase from the previous year.
Synchronized Mobile Robot Fleets Bring New Versatility and Investment Protection to Assembly Operations
A trend toward replacing those fixed, conveyor-based assembly lines with fleets of mobile robots holds the promise of another step change in manufacturing efficiency and new adaptability to market volatility.
What's Holding Back Robot Adoption? - With the UK Lagging Behind Its Competitors, What Needs to Change?
While it's hoped that figures will have changed since the IFR's previous report, the gap between the UK and other countries shows there's still a clear need to drive up robotic adoption.
4 Ways Soft Gripper Robots Improve Food Processing
Food processors often deal with challenges when delicate items are mishandled and broken or dropped. Soft gripper robots can tackle this problem, especially since many are specially designed to handle fragile items, such as eggs.
What are Resolution, Accuracy & Repeatability
Understanding resolution, accuracy and repeatability is critical to specifying a position sensor. This paper defines these terms and discusses how they relate to overall system performance.
Laser-Guided Vehicles: Supporting Sustainability in Manufacturing and Distribution
Compared to conventional lift trucks, LGVs provide more consistent throughput of pallets between manufacturing and distribution functions, less damage to racking, raw materials and merchandise, reduced labor requirements, and lower cost of operation.
Running on fumes? AI isn't possible without proper data management
Board members and C-suite executives are asking when AI pilot projects can begin, with a preference for a start date of yesterday. Meanwhile, the plant floor reality is nowhere near ready for AI.
Implementing the Most Efficient Picking Paths to Meet Crucial KPIs
In today's demanding market, efficiency of operations is an essential factor to remaining competitive. One area where there are often substantial opportunities for improvement is your warehouse pick paths.
Automatic Loading and Unloading of Pressed Parts Through 3D Container Inspection
The actual workflow that FrameSense is designed to automate is part of many manufacturing operations. A component comes out of a machine - here a press - and runs on a conveyor belt to a container.
Warehouses may be the first industry to adopt humanoid robot workers
With the news that Amazon is testing a humanoid robot - Agility Robotics' Digit - in its warehouses, we explore what the future looks like for bipedal robots in logistics.
CoaXPress over Fiber
Fiber optics transmit data as pulses of light through strands of fiber made of glass or plastic. When bundled with hundreds of other strands, the resulting fiber optic cable will transmit more data at faster speeds and over longer distances than high-grade copper cables.
Omron Introduces the SWIR Camera Series Enabling Precision Inspection Across the Manufacturing Process Using Short Wave Infrared Technology
The new SWIR Camera Series takes inspection opportunities to new avenues by featuring new infrared technology, versatile inspection capabilities, multiple unique interfaces, and one-of-a-kind heat dissipation technology.
SCARA Robot Sorts Recyclables Using a Simple Conveyor Speed Feedback System
As Everest Labs was developing their system to be sold to recycling centers worldwide, they found that their robot needed speed feedback in order to track the recyclables on the conveyor, and therefore needed a simple way to install conveyor speed feedback on a gear motor.
HARDWARE AS A SERVICE: A NEW PARADIGM FOR SERVICE CONTRACTS
A flexible revenue approach is a defining feature of HaaS, offering organisations a 'pay-as-you-go' model instead of the traditional CapEx hardware purchasing model. This offers manufacturing organisations, regardless of their size, several advantages.

Nion: Next-level time-of-flight
The new Nion 3D camera advances Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology with exceptional resolution, speed, and industrial robustness. Designed for demanding applications such as logistics, warehousing, industrial automation, and robotics, Nion delivers high-resolution depth data with real-time performance for faster, safer, and more flexible operations. At its core is the 1.2-megapixel Time-of-Flight sensor AF0130 from onsemi's Hyperlux ID family, offering up to four times the resolution of conventional VGA-based ToF cameras and significantly higher data density. Active 940-nm laser illumination ensures accurate and stable measurements in low-light conditions, artificial lighting, and even direct sunlight. With an IP67-rated housing, Nion is built for reliable operation in dusty, wet, and thermally challenging industrial environments. A user-friendly API with IDS peak support and compliance with the GigE Vision standard enable fast integration and flexible deployment in high-resolution 3D applications. The Nion 3D camera is now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems.
