With rapid workplace transformation evident across industries, whether that’s moving to hybrid working or adopting new technologies, what can we expect from 2023? Anders Beck, Vice President of Strategy and Innovation at Universal Robots, discusses five predictions for the coming year.
Through their HoloLayouts software, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA have developed an application in which multiple people can collaborate interactively on creating factory layouts that use space efficiently. The factory planning process can be experienced in a virtual environment, with changes made live and in real time.
Innodisk, a global leader in industrial-grade storage and embedded peripherals is proud to announce its solution to issues faced by Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) applications relating to, and caused by the shortcomings of consumer DRAM.
NSK is currently developing a new and cost-effective way of preventing electrical erosion in the drivetrains of electric vehicles (EVs). Based on a unique method of producing a patented plastic over-moulding for deep groove ball bearings, EV manufacturers will make significant savings in comparison with expensive ‘hybrid’ bearings that feature insulating components made from ceramics.
Hexagon AB, a global leader in digital reality solutions combining sensor, software and autonomous technologies, has announced the acquisition of LocLab, a leader in 3D digital twin content creation. LocLab’s proprietary technology, enabled by a high degree of automation using proven workflows and artificial intelligence, allows the cost- and time-efficient creation of digital twins.
Crimp variants of the M16 product series from binder simplify wiring, in small quantities on site, but also automated and in larger batches. From the connector itself through the contacts to the suitable crimping tool, everything necessary is available from a single source at binder.
OMRON’s has announced the availability of new EtherCAT models in the i4L SCARA robot series. The compact i4L robots now offer even stronger performance at the lowest total cost of ownership. Robotic Integrated Controller allows synchronized multi-robot applications with EtherCAT models.
Before the turn of the year 2022/2023, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS will cross the sales of 1 billion euros for the first time. The company sees this as confirmation from its customers.
High-tech company TRUMPF has opened up new opportunities for collaboration with STOPA, one of the leading manufacturers of automated storage systems. The two companies recently announced an agreement to work even closer together in the future.
The Digital Twin only becomes really valuable through the digital model of the real object and its digital image. Digital models are therefore dynamic 3D representations of a real object that can be used for simulations and analyses.
