COBOTS VS COVID: WHITE PAPER FROM UNIVERSAL ROBOTS
THIS WHITE PAPER discusses how manufacturers in many industries are leveraging collaborative robots (cobots) to create safe zones for workers returning to production lines.
RTS HYPERVISOR - TWO OPERATING SYSTEMS ON ONE DEVICE
In addition to their real-time operating system, many machines also need
a general purpose operating system to perform tasks such as aggregating
data and sending it to the cloud, or to run business intelligence analytics or
computationally intensive HMI applications. Traditionally, this has required the
use of two separate pieces of hardware. With a bare-metal hypervisor, it is
now possible to implement both systems on a single industrial PC without any
compromise in performance.
REAL-TIME SYSTEMS AND INTEL TAKE INDUSTRIAL EMBEDDED SYSTEMS TO THE NEXT LEVEL
The Industrial IoT (IIoT) has the potential to bring increased optimization,
automation, and insight to industrial facilities. But frequently, proprietary,
incompatible equipment and systems—combined with the need to meet complex, time-based, deterministic requirements—make realizing this potential challenging. Real-Time Systems (RTS) software running on robust, high-performance Intel® architecture enables the creation of intelligent embedded applications for IIoT, enabling benefits from holistic visibility into operations to centralized equipment management and maintenance.
YOUR NEXT CO-WORKER COULD BE A ROBOT
As the use of industrial robots grows, cobots—robots collaborating with humans—are also increasing in popularity. Discover the benefits this collaboration is bringing to both industrial operations and human co-workers in the manufacturing space. Read the Wind River® article, “Collaborative Efforts, Universal Gains.”
INNOVATIONS IN SMALL-PART MEASUREMENT FOR QC - FROM GAGES TO COLLABORATIVE ROBOTS
New Scale Robotics has released a new white paper exploring the evolution of QC measurement techniques for small parts. The paper highlights recent innovations that allow collaborative robots to do QC measurements, helping to bring the benefits of robotics from the manufacturing floor and into to the QC lab for high-mix, small-batch manufacturers. Like their counterparts in production, robots in QC automate dull and repetitive work, keep humans safe from injury, and deliver more consistent results.
CONTROLLING COAXPRESS CAMERAS FROM THE BITFLOW SDK TOOLS, CONFIGURATION FILE AND APIS REVISION 1.0
The BitFlow SDK offers a number of different methods for programming and controlling a CoaXPress (CXP) camera connected to a BitFlow CXP frame grabber. While number of workflows might seem confusing, the design goal was to provide a methodology that meets the needs of a wide variety of users.
The purpose of the this document is to explain all the CXP tools that are available in the BitFlow SDK, and how their flexibility is actually quite powerful, and can be molded to meet each different application’s needs.
MACHINE VISION MAKES THE MOVE TO INTERNET OF THINGS
This paper discusses how machine vision can bring cost and performance benefits to Internet of Things applications, while enabling new machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities,
EDGE PROCESSING AND SMART DEVICES FOR INDUSTRY 4.0
AI and machine learning promise to bring new cost and process benefits into inspection systems. Our latest whitepaper explores how smart sensor and imaging devices help overcome bandwidth and networking challenges while providing a first step towards integrating AI in automation systems.
