Learning Objectives Understand how motor-drive communications help enable smart manufacturing. Motor communication insights Motor-drive communications using industrial Ethernet protocols can help enable smart manufacturing. In many ways it’s machines contribute to smart manufacturing rather than the motor drive combination.

Improving robots’ ability to grip and handle objects has been a major challenge for manufacturers because it limits what they can do on the plant floor. University of Washington researchers have developed a program where a 3D printer creates a gripper and models a trajectory for the robot arm once the gripper is printed and attached.
