This news brings together things I’m interested in (robotic, automated) with things on my peripheral (3D measurement). It should be interested to all of you within the discretemanufacturing market. The post Automated Robotic Inspection Cells for 3D Measurement appeared first on The Manufacturing Connection.
The PUDU T300 mobile robot dis designed for use in tight aisles with heavy payloads. Source: Pudu Robotics Pudu Technology Co. said today at Hannover Messe that it is expanding from service robots into supply chain applications with the new PUDU T300 mobile robot.
For the third-straight quarter, robot sales in North America hit a record high, driven by a resurgence in sales to automotive companies and an ongoing need to manage increasing demand to automate logistics for e-commerce. The larger trend towards robots being used to benefit more companies in North America continues,” Burnstein said.
Industrial robotics insights The Association for Advancing Automation (A3) reported record highs in robot sales for 2022 as the industry continues growing. Driven by the resurgence in robot orders from automotive companies, the North American robotics market set all-time records in both robots sold and value in 2022.
The automotive industry has the largest number of robots working in factories around the world: Operational stock hit a new record of about one million units. This represents about one third of the total number installed across all industries, according to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR).
CHICAGO and TORONTO — Pudu Robotics announced the launch of its industrial robot – the PUDU T300 , which will make its debut at the Hannover Messe 2024. By taking over the transportation of heavy or hazardous materials, the PUDU T300 will try to reduce the risk of workplace injuries associated with industrial work.
Robotics insights Total robotics installations in manufacturing rose more than 10% in 2022 with the automotive industry being the main driver. Non-automotive industries were led by electrical/electronics, which posted almost 30% growth. Sales to automotive declined by 36% with 1,258 units installed in 2022.
Robotics insights The North American robotics market has experienced a significant decline for the second consecutive quarter due to a sluggish U.S. economy and high interest rates, resulting in a 37% drop in robot orders and a 20% decrease in value in Q2 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. A slow U.S.
Robotics insights Industrial robot market growth is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18% from 2019 to 2029 thanks to robotics being increasingly used in the automotive and electronics industry according to a report by Future Market Insights. This is especially true as robots get smaller and less expensive.
North American companies ordered fewer robots in the first quarter of 2023 than for the same period last year. Automotive customers accounted for 68% of all robot orders in Q1, with 5,659 robots purchased. They also might be waiting to see the latest innovations in robotics at Automate 2023 next week in Detroit.
Industrial automation insights Artificial intelligence (AI) and flexible robotic systems have emerged as key technologies in industrial automation’s future. The longer-term goal is to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. We’re not quite there yet in technological terms, but it’s going to happen,” Brandt said.
Learning Objectives As supply chains are disrupted, baby boomers age out and the need for general use products continues to grow, manufacturers are faced with producing more with less. Robust yet intuitive robot capability is effectively addressing these issues, boosting manufacturing output and product quality for optimal productivity gains.
Robotics insights. China passed the United States in robot density for the first time as the nation is putting enhanced emphasis on robotics and automation to keep up with manufacturing demand. This is according to the World Robotics 2022 report, presented by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR).
Software-based artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance existing robots to deal with variances in real-time and give them needed flexibility on the plant floor. Artificial intelligence (AI) being used to make robots smarter has been growing in popularity as both technologies get better. Artificial Intelligence Insights.
Robotics Insights. Automation’s role is growing in manufacturing due to increased demand and a skills gap problem that is only growing. Robots are playing a key role in narrowing the gap. As robots get smaller and smarter, they are becoming more autonomous, which increases their value and their skillset on the plant floor.
Robotics AI insights AI-enabled robotics can help robots learn like humans, which could have a massive impact on how traditional manufacturing operates. Robots are inflexible by design, but AI-enabled robotics that use sensors, data-driven computation and more can enhance their capabilities.
Robotics insights Picking robots are expected to have a more significant presence in manufacturing and other industries. Technology advances such as artificial intelligence (AI) is part of the reason, but the growing labor and skills gap is forcing manufacturers to turn to robots to keep up with consumer demand.
is a proven industry leader using ABB robotics and software to train tomorrow’s workforce, which will be using robotics in many different industries and applications. The Department of Technology at Illinois State University (ISU) trains students to program and operate industrial robots in preparation for careers in industry.
Manufacturing applications are returning to the United States as industrial automation becomes a greater focus for companies. They see robotics, in particular, as a way to keep operations running with fewer people working on the plant floor. The longer-term goal is to bring manufacturing back to the U.S.
Part of the reason that the industry is not yet consolidating is the fact that “mobile automation” captures a multitude of robot types, industries and applications. Despite numerous acquisitions the mobile robot market is in fact not consolidating. The same figure for collaborative robot arms is even higher, at nearly 85%.
Manufacturing optimization insights Manufacturing technologies are getting more sophisticated in their capabilities, but they’re also getting easier to use so they’re more accessible. Collaborative robots are taking on more industrial robot capabilities, but are still able to work in tandem with humans as needed.
However, it can be deconstructed into two main themes: safe human-robot interaction (HRI) to achieve higher productivity and an increased level of autonomous mobility for material and goods transportation. Robots can pose a variety of hazards to workers. These themes are ultimately enabled by modern sensor technologies.
With the automotive industry transitioning to electric vehicles, which require new manufacturing methods for the batteries and complex wire harnesses, Danziger said many of their customers are thinking about the future with renewed intensity. You will find everything from electrical switches and gearboxes to PLCs and robots.
