While robotics and automated processes can bring greater efficiency, lower costs and other perks, Vice President of engineering at Applied Manufacturing Technologies, Craig Salvalaggio says “Automation allows companies to use human workers for more value-added tasks” but warns “there are more stories about automation projects that were turned off than there are about successful automation projects.” These disappointments were due to poor planning and preparation, he notes. “Should you …

Imagining an employee who can work 24/7, be completely consistent in their work, never take a vacation, never complain, never get distracted or file a workman’s comp claim sounds like a straightforward way to figure a great return on investment in a collaborative robot. But is it really that simple? Maybe in some cases, but it really depends on the work the robot will do and the associated value of that work. A more in-depth analysis of the overall situation may reveal that the robot …

This year’s SXSW festival in Austin, Texas featured a UR10 cobot in a show-stopping demo that highlights the robot’s creative capabilities. The demo was developed to help launch National Geographics’ new “Genius” TV series based on the life of Albert Einstein. People were invited to tweet a photo of themselves to a UR10 robot set up in front of a digital chalkboard. Using Einstein’s own handwriting, the cobot quickly began writing the inventor’s equations on the chalkboard, in seemingly random l …

Even for labor-intensive countries like India, the surge in use of collaborative robots is having a positive effect. With the goal of reducing errors, achieving consistent quality, and reducing the workforce in areas of mass production, Indian factories still need human operators for the robots. Some manual processes are still required, which offers the workforce some protection.Humans must co-exist with innovative technologies. The idea of collaborative robots was introduced in India by U …

PULS uses robots to automate repetitive work processes, be more productive, save costs and invest our time in more demanding and productive tasks. In the video you can see the new PULS robot in our production site in Chomutov. The implementation of robots is just beginning Robots are fascinating; even if they perform monotonous and seemingly simple tasks. But actually the routine work steps reveal the full potential of robot technology. The production process of DIN rail …
