Robotics and Automation White Papers

Robotics is moving from an opportunity in business and facility operations to a necessity in many industries. As a result, organizations must plan for multi-vendor robots, intelligent traffic flows, storage, and more.

Advances in AI and deep machine learning have ushered in incredible potential for ground-based, aerial, and maritime robotics. Robotics is moving from an opportunity in business and facility operations to a necessity in many industries. As a result, organizations must plan for multi-vendor robots, intelligent traffic flows, storage, and more.

Download this whitepaper to learn: How robots help warehouse picking get faster and more flexible. How AGVs and ASRS are used to transport and sort materials in the warehouse. How Micro-Fulfillment Centers (MFCs) are becoming the go-to choice for giants like Amazon. How advanced robotics are impacting freight harbors.

Designed to decrease the apprehension and intimidation some manufacturers might face during their initial foray into robotic automation, the new KUKA Robot Guide makes the process fast and easy to apply the right automation to specific application needs. In three easy steps, users are presented with KUKA robot options based on their industry, application and environment for the perfect automation match.

As the existing robotic automation could only handle boxes of consistent size and with certain conditions, there was a limit to realize full automation in reality. It stems from the fact that the robot could not take boxes of irregular sizes. Considering these limits, CMES offers advanced automation to reach new levels of output and performance.

eBook by Senior Application Engineer David McMillan. In this engaging and informative eBook, McMillan shares lessons learned on projects in a variety of industries. In part one, learn how to reduce the variables in your robotic system with some general AMT eBook robot accuracy thumblessons learned (the hard way) over the course of several robotic projects that required accuracy approaching, if not beating, the robot's inherent repeatability. Part two covers how to implement "move, measure, correct" to get more accurate motion from inaccurate robots. Learn the major stumbling blocks and the questions that should be asked during the design and integration phases of any systems that need a high level of accuracy.

Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) have seen more and more interest over the past few years with everyone from leading corporations to regional SMEs piloting the innovative technology. But, due to the fragmentation of the supplier market, it can prove hard for supply chain leaders to get an accurate picture of the true benefits provided by AMR systems. And, as with all emerging technologies, there is much discussion about how AMR offerings may change over the next 5 years. From falling component costs to additional product features, everyone has an opinion on the future of the industry. In this free whitepaper, we help you consider the immediate improvements that can be achieved with current AMR systems. Furthermore, we take a deep dive into some of the assumptions which lead to investment deferral and the real cost of waiting.

MMP is well known for our Lightning-Fast Delivery Capability, Huge On-Hand Inventory, High Volume Capacity and Time Tested and Proven Reliability Methods. Our 100+ years of combined work experience and being able to deliver continual committed service to design and engineer ideas into reality gives us a competitive advantage in the motion control industry. These are only the very basic fundamentals, but a good checklist before you begin to apply your motor or gearmotor.

The use of robotic automation paves a path towards increasing productivity and output quality, while reducing costs and time to market. However, the adoption of offline programming software, allowing manufacturers to get the most out of their robotic investment, is the differentiator.

This free webinar will explore the proven benefits of robotics designed specifically for warehouse operations, from autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) to smart flexible depalletizers. We’ll also explore the benefits that result when multiple robotics technologies are combined in seamlessly integrated solutions.
