In applications where corridor supply vehicles interact at transfer stations with a direct connection to a danger zone, operation must be as safe and efficient as possible: Throughout the entire area, the safety system must be able to differentiate reliably between forklift trucks and, in some cases, also people. This is possible using a Leuze safety solution for multi-station access guarding in forklift truck logistics.
Robotics and automation have significantly revolutionized how people work and live across a number of industries. With the increasing likelihood of a global economic recession in 2023, many industries are struggling with increasing manufacturing costs, such as labor and raw material costs, and maintaining their profit margins. The robotics and automation sector provides solutions to mitigate the issue by reducing operational costs and increasing production efficiency.
Manufacturers today are focused more than ever on finding reliable sources of high quality products in our suddenly fractured global supply chains. NOARK Electric is focused on ensuring that its customers continue to receive high quality products, delivered on-time, and with reasonable production lead-times.
Floss daily. Eat more vegetables. Exercise 30 minutes a day. All good advice to ensure a long, healthy life. But most people don’t follow that advice. The same is true with keeping your robots healthy. Most maintenance crews know the things they should be doing to keep their robots in peak shape, but many don’t consistently do those things.
Recently, ABB published the first in a series of new reports for the energy and wastewater sectors to highlight the impact that technology can have in enabling industrial customers to reduce carbon emissions and manage the energy transition for a more sustainable future.
When it’s time to consider a new motion control solution for your application, rule #1 is “Solve the problem, then worry about the design.” This is easier said than done, but not if you apply a disciplined, time-tested framework.
Many businesses of all sizes turn to robots for enhancing precision, speed, and consistency while minimizing expenses and downtime. However, many of them – particularly the smaller enterprises – are initially unsure of whether the payoff will be worth it.
IoT has steadily gained popularity in recent years with more users migrating to digitalized products and smart gadgets. As an increasing amount of IoT equipment comes online, many unsecured items will be vulnerable to remote software assaults. Inadequate security gives hackers the opportunity to brick and commandeer a device to help build botnets.
Daisy chaining refers to a wiring scheme in which several devices, such as power supplies, are connected directly in series. This type of wiring is also referred to as “looping through”. The English term “Daisy Chaining” is used colloquially, since the structure is vaguely reminiscent of a daisy chain.
As the electrification of heavy-duty or commercial vehicles gains more acceptance, charging larger batteries than the ones in electric passenger cars increases in importance. Because time is money, especially in logistics, the preferred options are increasing charging power or assigning idle times for charging.
Founded in 1964, Cascades, headquartered in Quebec, offers sustainable, innovative and value-added solutions for packaging, hygiene and recovery needs. The company employs approximately 10,000 employees who work in almost 80 facilities in North America.
Located in Leamington Ontario, Southpoint Automation Inc . is perfectly situated to provide multiple local industries with an elevated level of expertise in a vast magnitude of automation services.
The future has arrived and it’s busbar power distribution. Traditional wiring relying on cable connections and connectors that require loads of space to manipulate is a thing of the past and busbar power distribution is now the industry standard for industrial enclosures.
Robots are an integral part of the manufacturing industry worldwide to the extent that they are indispensable. In production, robots and cobots frequently encounter each other, working and interacting side by side with humans, but also performing tasks independently.
If you’re challenged with labor issues in your packaging and palletizing area, you’re not alone. These applications are often tedious and can lead to repetitive motion injuries. In a tight job market it’s especially difficult to fill jobs that people consider dull and strenuous.
Now well into the era of digital transformation, the manufacturing field is constantly in evolution, and the possibilities are endless. This industry is vast, and we live with its outcomes every day. Manufacturing is one of the reasons this world is the way it is.
