1. The growth of robots before the Covid-19 epidemic According to the Robot Industry Association (RIA), from 2017 to 2018, the number of robotic devices sold in the food and consumer goods industries increased by 31.3%, and the number of devices sold in the life sciences increased by 31 ,3%...

Historically, Robots were used mainly for end-of-line operations, but much has changed now. Robots have evolved and are being used for many different applications in the packaging line. The data above shows how CPGs and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are starting to use robots for sorting, product handling, product...

Industrial robots are increasingly bringing many benefits including improved profitability, productivity, quality, flexibility and even increased worker satisfaction. With the current economic climate, manufacturers need these advantages more than ever. Collaborative robots (cobots) are a proven, high-value solution that can be accessed by manufacturers of all sizes. These  robot arms are the...

According to PMMI’s 2017  Automation Evolution report, small to mid-sized consumer packaged goods companies are starting to see the value of automating operations . Consumers are increasingly demanding more customized and personalized products. For companies that manufacture Consumer Packaged Goods (CPGs), this trend has led to an increase in SKUs. Shorter run...

The PMMI (Packing Machinery Factory Organization) has identified key operational improvements that can be attributed to robotics. Some of these improvements involve human factors such as eliminating repetitive tasks, helping to improve safety and efficiency, reducing labor costs, and improving quality and consistency. While a complete automation solution may not...

Manufacturers are having a hard time finding workers. When the COVID-19 pandemic happened accidentally, it created many difficulties in finding workers with the right skills. During the pandemic, there is a growing shortage of qualified workers. Many manufacturers, especially those that produce consumer packaged goods (CPGs), are considered essential, forcing...

Looking to the future, Robotics and manufacturing will increasingly be defined by big data and the ability of AI systems to analyze and act on production information. Robots can now acquire skills to perform tasks through advanced machine learning enabled by the development of integrated sensors and cloud-based analytics. This...

Why intelligent unmanned transportation systems are revolutionizing the future of manufacturing Internal logistics and production lines must adapt quickly and efficiently to new requirements. Intelligent in-house logistics solutions connect unmanned transport vehicles (AGVs), control and production systems with other manufacturing components such as industrial robots, to transport parts across optimal...

Today, collaborative robots (COBOTs) can automate secondary food handling processes such as quality control, labeling, packing or unloading goods on and off pallets quickly and easily. easy and cost effective. They can be easily programmed without technical experience and can recover the investment in less than a year. Transitioning to...

An unprecedented innovation among Pizzato safety devices, the remote escape unit allows the safety switch to be unlocked remotely in the event that conventional escape devices cannot be easily accessed due to the configuration. figure of the machine. The Pizzato Elettrica Remote Exit Kit, which can be attached to the...

Collaborative robotics (COBOT) is a new form of robotic technology that is bridging the gap between fully manual assembly lines and fully automated production lines. This has become a huge competitive advantage for small and medium-sized specialized medical device manufacturers as well as helping larger OEMs, whose processes cannot be...

Industrial robotics applications have seen tremendous growth over the past decade, as many industries have realized the potential of industrial robots and more importantly, collaborative robots (Cobots). Cobots are low-cost industrial robots that operate safely around humans. Automated robots are more flexible than standard or traditional industrial robots, which means...

The automotive industry has been using industrial robots for more than half a century since General Motors first adopted UNIMATE in the early 1960s. During the transition period, a large number of robots were used in the auto sector. has experienced strong growth. Robotic technology has also improved with lower...

Collaborative robots (cobots) are becoming a “powerful” arm and a very effective solution in the global “war against COVID-19”. In this article, we will explore the use of robots (specifically Universal Robots – UR’s collaborative robots) during the pandemic, as well as some other contributions in meeting the need for...

It is not difficult to realize, the connection between robots and humans is being tightened more and more. Because the need for robots to replace humans in the future is increasing while the development of technology has contributed to an increase in the number of robot jobs that can replace...

Initially, from the perspective of businesses in developing countries, cobots (collaborative robots) open many potential doors, but the challenges they will face are not small. As for the UR team, we understand that the decision to deploy the future collaborative robotic arm – the cobot possessing the most modern technology today, is...

In the early stages of their journey to automate industrial production in factories, traditional industrial robots created the image of a bulky, complex, large and difficult-to-reach machine. . However, people are forced to deploy before the health problems of workers or sudden spikes in orders happen unexpectedly. We can use...

Thirty years ago, fully servo-controlled robots of any kinematic configuration were rarely deployed in injection molding applications. The most common approach is to implement a simple three-axis, point-to-point connection linear robot that is mounted on the machine. With just enough Z (vertical axis) travel to reach the centerline of the...

Universal Robots (UR) collaborative robots (cobots) are seen as a key element in successful electronics manufacturing deployments globally. Each implementation has its own characteristics, but the overall results are clear; productivity increases, quality results are improved, human error in repetitive tasks is reduced, and working conditions are improved. This article...

The argument for applying cobots to palletizing applications is convincing. In the United States alone, overuse and repetitive movements account for 24% and 8% of workplace injuries, respectively. Manual palletizing is not only harmful to ergonomics, but also expensive. And it also limits the throughput and quality of cargo handling....

Packing and loading/unloading pallets is one of the most stressful and musculoskeletal applications for workers in the supply chain. Lifting heavy objects and bending over to lift or wrap are not only ergonomic (unconvenient to the body) movements that pose a risk of injury, but are also repetitive, which can...

When the industrial wave 4.0 broke out, it was also the time when factories increasingly applied automation to production lines. Along with industrial robots, AMR robots (Automatic Mobile Robots) are also increasingly popular because of their practicality and benefits in factories. I. What is AMR Robot? AMR robot (Automatic Mobile...

Although factory digitization is becoming more and more widespread, according to a new study, more than 80% of current warehouses have no automation. This is partly because businesses are still apprehensive about the cost as well as the capabilities that Robots bring. However, another assessment shows that most warehouses using AMR...

Autonomous vehicle AGV is a type of automatic cargo transport robot that is present in most smart factories (Smart Factory) in general and logistics systems around the world in particular. Currently, we can see AGV self-propelled vehicles anywhere, from production lines, assembly lines, finished goods warehouses, e-commerce warehouses to supermarkets,...
