Automation for the Pharmaceutical Industry, Laboratories and Analysis.

Since the beginning of the coronavirus crisis at the latest, the pharmaceutical industry and laboratories have been under pressure to realize the highest possible levels of automation.

How Computers Deliver the Ability to See

Advances in semiconductors have led to dramatic developments in a wide range of sensor and camera technologies, including sensors/cameras for area scan and line scan, IP/network, 3D, and thermal imaging platforms.

Gain a Competitive Edge with Cold Chain Automation

Automation is revolutionizing virtually every industry today, including cold chain warehousing. Warehousing companies can get a valuable edge over their competitors by implementing smart automation strategies.

100,000 Mobile Robots Shipped In 2021

It is regularly claimed that robots will steal jobs from people. But in the post-COVID world we are seeing the opposite: robots are filling gaps left by widespread labor shortages. This is particularly the case in e-commerce warehouses.

Picked Up and Put Off

Pallets loaded with industrial yarn spools are picked up from the floor of a predefined storage place and transported to the creel location. There, the gripper positions itself vertically above the pallet.

Kawasaki J series Robot Runs for More Than 20 Years

During its lifetime, this robot ran for 38,390 hours; the equivalent of a 20 years worth of 8 hour shifts. It only logged 57 maintenance entries, and showed flexibility by working on two different welding lines.

Fuzzy Logic Makes Robotics Agile at MBDA

The company wanted to robotise certain processes in small series or even single unit production, by allowing an operator with no programming skills to teach the robotic system, in just a few seconds.

FORD NOW OPERATES 3D PRINTERS AUTONOMOUSLY, INCREASING EFFICIENCY AND REDUCING COST

Autonomous process enables 3D printer to run continuously with no human interaction needed, increasing throughput and reducing cost of custom-printed products

ABB predicts key trends that will change robotic automation in 2022

Post-pandemic acceleration continues for robots in new sectors like logistics and retail, and speeds up for EV production. Adoption of robots driving demand for new skills that require education and training.

Vimaan CEO Reflects on Coming Out of Stealth

A business model that was originally envisioned as a hardware sale has morphed into a Data-As-A-Service subscription model that unburdens the customer from capital expenditures, infrastructure changes, hardware maintenance or operation of complex systems.

The Benefits of Investing in Warehouse Automation

When it comes to warehouse management, there's a lot to consider. Overhead costs, employee efficiency, order fulfillment are just some of the many daily operations involved in warehousing today. However, there are ways to streamline these processes for greater productivity.

Invata Rolls Out New Line of Mobile Robotics

The INVATABOTICS fleet will provide enhanced automation processing capabilities to Invata customers in the areas of order fulfillment, returns processing, mobile storage and retrieval, sortation and transportation, and pallet, case, tote, and unit picking.

Pallet Moving Robots Are Game Changers - And Easy to Implement Fast

Even if you don't have immediate plans to add robotic automation to your order picking process, you can still leverage the benefits with pallet moving robots. These robots improve the workflow at the transport dock - improving the speed to unload and load trucks.

HEIDENHAIN In Action at OMIC

Exciting manufacturing research is happening daily at OMIC R&D (Oregon Manufacturing Innovation Center - Research & Development) and many types of HEIDENHAIN precision measurement components are working inside.

The dm Drugstore Distribution Center Relies on Piab Suction Cups

An average of 3,500 pallets are delivered and picked there every day. A large part of the pallets is depalletized with Piab's DURAFLEX® suction cups BX52P and fed into the order picking chain.
