Utilizing Cobots to Manage Labor Shortages

By replacing manual CNC processes with the RB series cobots, the company has increased productivity by 40 to 50 percent. This has enabled the company to respond more effectively to client demands, which have increased two to three times since the recent semiconductor boom.

Doing More with Less in the Rapidly Evolving Fulfillment Industry

Labor shortages, demand fluctuations, and tighter budgets have more companies looking to automation to safeguard operations from this variability. However, human workers play a vital part in keeping order fulfillment cycle times low.

Robotic Chef 'Beastro™' takes Orders, Cooks-and Cleans up--controlled by Unitronics

The Kitchen Robotics company Cloud receives the customer orders via website or app, and sends the appropriate commands to the UniStream PLC, using an API that implements a dedicated TCP/IP protocol written in UniLogic, Unitronics all-in-one development software.

4 Signs and Ways to Incorporate Robotic Automation in Your Processes

Eventually, automation will reduce human labor in manufacturing processes to a point where human workers won't have to do anything other than provide oversight, possibly through a human-machine interface (HMI).

Goods-to-Person Picking Systems

Imagine a warehouse where every item you need is just a few clicks away. That is the beauty of Goods-to-Person Picking Systems (G2P or GTP). These innovative automated systems are revolutionizing the world of order fulfillment

Maximizing the Value of Collaborative Robots

As we will discuss in this article, cobots can add tremendous value to your operations, but you should be sure to pay attention to risk assessments and safeguarding requirements.

Sustainable Industry Repair using RoboDK

The purpose of the project was to improve laser welding procedures and determine if sustainable gear repair was possible using robot toolpath programming, digital twin, simulation, and post-processing.

Robotics Providers: Challenges and Opportunities in a Dynamic Industrial Equipment Market

In this blog post, we'll explore some of the key trends and challenges facing robotics providers today, and offer insights into how they can navigate this dynamic landscape to build successful businesses.

ABA Corp Implements Six Robots to Run Their CNC Machines in Their High Mix Production

The job shop manages small to large production run orders. Each cobot picks up parts from a bench, loads and unloads them from a CNC machine tool and places them in a box.

Ideal Spindles for High-Speed Robotic Milling of Plastics and Composites

One application for which robot arms are well suited is using a kind of deburring tool as a cutting instrument when working with relatively soft materials like plastics and composites.

Welcome to the Age of the Cobot

Collaborative robots can bring significant benefits through closer interactions with humans - but they need high-quality parts replacement to ensure safety and productivity

Trane® Saves Over 80 Hours of Robot Programming Time

Their biggest challenge and opportunity for automation was the manual, labor-intensive tube rolling process. Because each chiller was a customized product, there was no single standardization to the hole patterns-adding to the complexity of a potential automation process.

Updating Warehouse Automation Solutions to Improve Productivity and Profitability

Instead of having a thin layer of WES and FMS that cannot be dissociated from the robotic solution, I foresee robust, best of breed, stand-alone FMS and WES applications being developed.

Connecting Robot Accessories to Any Industrial Network

Robots need accessories to work efficiently. But what's the easiest way to connect the accessories to factory networks? The easiest way is to use HMS Networks' ready-made Anybus products, as RSP found out.

Robot-based Automation: 3 Tips for a Time and Cost-efficient Implementation

Following the no-code/low-code trend, there are various software solutions on the market that enable graphical and therefore simplified and faster programming. The advantage is that no special programming skills are required.
